Oh man.  I was  listening to the Beastie Boys this morning and saddened to read this just now.

One of my favorite bands I never got around to buying an album for. RIP

WTF.  No way. :(

Some of my friends know that I am given to randomly hollering "There's more to me than you'll ever know, and I got more hits than Sadaharu Oh!"

Beastie Boys - Hey Ladies


Also, I always really liked this video.  It looked like nothing else of its time.

Holy crap. Dammit. That sucks.

Given his spiritual leanings I was worried he might have delayed treatment, but it seems that he probably handled things well and just got unlucky.

When Yauch first announced his diagnosis in a July 2009 video message on the band’s website, he told fans his doctors were optimistic.

“It’s only localized in this one area, and it’s not in a place that affects my voice,” he said, adding that he would undergo both surgery and radiation. “So it’s a little bit of a setback. It’s a pain in the a--. But this is something that’s very treatable, and in most cases, they’re able to completely get rid of it.”

A year later he asked fans to meditate with him “to smash apart all the cancer cells” in the world.

“We are visualizing taking the energy away from the cancer and then sending it back at the cancer as lighting bolts that will break apart the DNA and RNA of the cells,” he wrote in a letter to fans on the group’s mailing list.

I've never liked Coldplay, but this tribute that they performed at the Hollywood Bowl was touching.

First Coldplay song I've been able to get through. Figures. The end kind of gave me chills.
