Coffee Break for Heroes & Villains Vol. 21: Beastie Boys Tribute
In honor of Adam Yauch’s life and career Coffee Break for Heroes and Villains has curated a playlist of Beastie Boys interviews, b-sides and rarities.
According to Coffee Break host/founder Noah Zark:
“The news of Adam Yauch’s passing was so heart breaking to me. Like so many people of my generation, we grew up with the Beastie Boys and evolved as they evolved . . . Years later I’m still a fan of their music as well as their message and specifically the words that MCA spoke. It was so great to see someone say “Hey, hurting people is not right, come along with me”, and people did! They listened and learned. We evolved as they evolved. Instead of being sad and I know it’s hard not to be, but let’s celebrate Adam’s music and life!”
