WHILE those in the know will today be taking stock of Beastie Boy Adam Yauch's contribution to music, I'll be remembering his effect on the formative years of my skateboarding friends.
Their older albums were favourites but it was the era of Ill Communication that seemed to be composed to our lives.
Sabotage was a masterpiece, Sure Shot's flute intro a crystal signal to action and The Beastie Boys' ensuing energy daring us to match them.
Adam, or MCA, was not yet 50 and although his illness was not new, his loss remains a shock.
Farewell MCA - the many tributes already posted online are fitting.
and the classic Sabotage...
