Mad props to Chris Martin and Coldplay for a sweet rendition of “Fight For Your Right,” last night, May 4 at their Hollywood Bowl Show in California in tribute to the passing of Adam Yauch/MCA.
Much respect.
Long time fan of Umphrey’s McGee and I just can’t wait to see them at Bonnaroo. Caught a show earlier this year out in Las Vegas and they definitely didn’t disappoint. Part of the jam band circuit, these guys sure can do that and I can’t wait to see what tricks they have up their sleeves for the farm. Please, please, please let them be a late night show!! With the lighting rig they bring, oh this would be a fun one at 2 a.m.
All I hope for is to hear one of my favorite songs, “Nothing Too Fancy.”
I guess my Saturday is really starting to look up. One of my favorite artists, Donavon Frankenreiter just dropped a video (a little Soul Train tribute) for his new song, “Start Livin'” so yeah, let’s start livin and celebrate tonight!! His new album which bares the same name will be released May 29. What a way to usher in summer.
Today is a very sad day as Beastie Boy, MCA aka Adam Yauch has passed away at the age of 47. As anyone who is a Beastie Boys fan knows, he had been battling a fight with cancer – which hasn’t been confirmed as the cause of death but it is speculated to be the case.
For me, the Beastie Boys have been a huge influence on my love of music. They were the first hip-hop act I ever listened to, fell in love with and truly followed. I’m sure glad I did have a chance to see them perform live as it was everything coming full circle to see living legends on stage doing their thing.
Today the music world lost another pioneer, a musician who broke boundaries, gave people hope and stood for a lot of things that were right.
Mike D and Ad Roc, I guess they may have known more when they accepted the induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and read a letter from MCA a couple weeks ago. May you rest in peace Adam Yauch.
