...really hated the drive home from work today. Every station, regardless of format, was playing Beastie Boys. Some were 2-3 deep. ghastly.

Beasties are so fucking good. Very sad news.

Now I want to grab a 40 and a pack of GPCs and just chill to Check Your Head...

I listened to them first in grade school, on cassette. I was hooked ever since. Such a bummer that he died at such a young age.
