MCA

Adam Yauch (aka MCA) of the Beastie Boys has died at age 47.  Wow that is yet another shock to the mind, reminding me of just how old I am getting.  I remember buying the Beasties' Licensed to Ill album, that was the very first rap record (yes, it was a vinyl record!) I ever bought when I was in 7th grade.

Some useless BeastieBoys trivia.  Did you know that the number on the tail of the plane from the album cover (3MTA3) reads backwards in a mirror as EATME?  I didn't even know that until last month when I read it in an Automobile Mag article.

RIP Adam and thanks for all the great music and memories.
