Gone Too Early

'MCA' PIECE COURTESY OF AROE

It's Sunday night. I'm having a quiet moment contemplating the loss of MCA. It's been a week and yet it still hasn't fully sunk in yet.
I've been listening to a few Beastie Boys tracks over this time and thinking about the whole situation.

I was a fan since 1986 and loved them straight away. The tabloids tried to dismiss them whilst other jealous types snidely wrote them off just because of their colour. Of course they were wild and boisterous when they first came out because they were young, they were in the worldwide spotlight and they were given free booze!

Anyway, like I say, I've been having a think and realised just in the last 10 years or so we've lost many great people who've been taken from us before their time.
