Check your head: a Beastie goes down

Check your head

by digby

I met Adam Yauch once back in the 80s, walking down Sunset Blvd with my new friend Gloria, who walked up to him and said, “hey Ad.” He said, “Hey Gloria, howsit going?” They chatted for a few minutes and Gloria introduced me and we walked on. My chin was dragging on the ground and I said “how in the hell do you know a Beastie Boy?” She’d gone to college with them, as it turns out. Small world.

RIP, Adam Yauch, you were one of the Elvis Presleys of hip-hop and a deeply decent human being.
