as Buffoonish as they were when they entered the Music scene as pubescent teenagers from Brooklyn, The Beastie Boys went on to (like Madonna herself) become very conscious Artists while still maintaining the fun/irreverent/genius mix of Rap/Rock they were famous for. It was sad to hear Adam had cancer, and 10 times sad today to hear he lost his battle with it - RIP, and much love to his Brothers!
Like Madonna sadly cried on her 05 classic hit Dance Metal Rocker Hung Up, she wrote that time goes by so slowly and like in her 86 #1 hit ballad Live to Tell, Madonna did get the chance to meet a special man in her life. Adam Yauch was his name and the Beastie Boys were his band. Mixing hip-hop beats with metal guitars, both Madonna and the Beasties crossed paths with each other. They both were and will always be what Joe Strummer of the Clash called Revolution Rock. In the end I Dedicate Live to Tell and Hung Up to Adam's beautiful and brilliant memory. Rock in Peace, Adam!
So sad. All the legends I grew up with seem to be going too soon. Too soon. RIP.
ReplyDeleteI love this photo of Madonna. She looks great. And the Beastie Boys were a cool addition to the Virgin line up.
ReplyDeleteSo sad he's gone. Time never stops.
