Firstly and more importantly,deepest sympathy to hoffy and family at this sad time.
Secondly,i've only just found out that MCA (Adam Yauch) of BEATSIE BOYS has passed.This is quite sad,as i remeber the days back in the eighties listening to electro/hip hop,and the Beastie Boys along with the likes of Grand Master Flash and Afrika Bambaataa being part of my young teenage years.
At the young age of 47,loosing a talent like that at such a young age to the horrible "C" word is a terrible loss.
