This is a really sad one. My first exposure to the Beastie Boys was on MTV and they left an indelible impression on me. Great band and serious players on the music scene. Good knowing you Adam, you helped change the world.

He fought for his right to PARTY!

Here's a band that never tickled my fancy...but whenever a musician/artist passes away, I feel lonelier:(...RIP:(
