About A Girl

You must read this whole interview (link included), I smiled, I laughed, and I choked up reading what Adam H. said. I’m still so torn up over his passing. I really thought he’d beat the cancer. It’s such a great loss that the words I’m typing don’t even come close to what I feel inside for Adam Yauch.

I literally grew up listening to Beastie Boys. I remember always trying to catch Martha Quinn’s veejay shift on MTV because she loved Beastie Boys and would always play their video, Fight for Your Right, when it first came out. 

To lose someone so young and not that big of an age difference to myself makes you evaluate your life and the people in it. I’m so glad Adam mentioned A Year and A Day and to hear a behind the scenes story about it because it’s one of my all time favorite BB songs and sorely overlooked.

To know Adam wasn’t afraid gives me some comfort, too. Thank you, Adam Horovitz for this interview. I appreciate it more than you can know.

“I’m totally numb,” Adam Horovitz of the Beastie Boys said bluntly, in his only interview following the death on May 4th of his bandmate Adam Yauch. Sitting in the New York office of the Beasties’ publicist, only 10 days after Yauch’s passing, Horovitz fondly recalled their lifetime together in punk, hip-hop and hijinks. He also struggled to describe his feelings after his friend’s death and admitted that healing was slow in coming. “My wife is like, ‘I want to make sure you’re getting it out.’ But then I’m walking the dog and I’ll start crying on the street.” Horovitz shook his head wearily. “It’s pretty fucking crazy.”

That’s from Damned

No it’s not, it’s from Survivor. I’ve actually read the book several times-
