Today my friend Justin Shadyposted that Beastie Boy MCA (Adam Yauch) has treatable cancer; he has a parotic gland tumor (it’s a salivary gland). It won’t affect his vocal chords; however, the Beastie Boys did cancel their tour and are pushing back the release of their album, Hot Sauce Committee Part 1.
In line with me deciding that I was going to learn to moonwalk on my birthday this year (I set the goal in April), I had been watching a lot of Michael Jackson videos prior to his death. Now, this? Maybe I am the harbinger of doom!
