Punk Rocker, Rapper, Filmmaker, Activist, Family Man Beastie Boys Adam Yauch has passed on - all too soon - to the great beyond. These guys represented a chapter of music that was a lot of fun even if you hate rap - one of the most successful and longest lived hip-hop rap
groups ever!
Founding Beastie Boys member Adam "MCA" Yauch died Friday, May 4, 2012 according to published reports. The cause of death has not yet been revealed,
but the musician and activist announced in 2009 that he was battling cancer. He
was 47. Yauch was born in Brooklyn, New York on August 5, 1964, and was an only
child. As a teenager, Yauch taught himself how to play the bass guitar. By
1978, at the age of 14, Yauch started a hard-core punk band called the Young
Aborigines with three friends, including Michael "Mike D" Diamond.
They played their first show on August 5, 1981, Yauch's 17th birthday. Go
