beastie boys – mca announces cancer treatment

the beastie boys.

a name like a big black monolith.
regardless how far the binary punks travel back into their youth – the beasties were always there.
those were the guys that taught us that being cool has nothing to do with taking yourself too serious.
they’re the ones who taught us that there should be no musical boundaries.

they’re the living example proving you don’t have to decide between punk, hiphop, groovy jazz, electronica or whatever. just do what you feel.

fuck, without the beastie boys the binary punks most likely would not be what they are today, and the beastie boys wouldn’t be the beastie boys without adam “mca” yauch: skater and snowboarder, studio owner and film maker, jewish roots but been to kathmandu and actively helping the free tibet movement.

and being this kind of down to earth guy, he just announced his cancer diagnosis in a casual youtube video, apologizing for the shows they have to cancel:

get well soon, adam!
no time for retirement, the world still needs you.
