Goodbye MCA

Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys
Friday night the world said goodbye to an amazing musical artist. Adam "MCA" Yauch, founder of the Beastie Boys, passed May 4th 2012 after a long battle with cancer. Please keep the family and the rest of the Beastie Boys (Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz, Michael "Mike D" Diamond, and Michael "Mix Master Mike" Schwartz) in your thoughts. Although this is not a time for anger, I'm angered by MTV's airing their condolences  for less than ten minutes or short 5 second clips "mourning the loss". Bro, the Beastie Boys kinda define what MTV USED TO BE- music television. They took part in developing the music genres of today. I know everyone is thinking I'm a hypocrite because I'm just this blogger chick who likes creepy rock music, but the Beastie Boys did play a large role in my growing love for music. The world is mourning the loss of not just a rap music icon, but a music icon.
