I came across this article early this morning and thought I would share it..

On Friday, when the news that Adam Yauch passed away hit, it hit hard. For many of us, the Beastie Boys were part of the soundtrack of our adolescence — ever present, playing in the background at parties, in videos, and on the radio as we went about our daily lives. Their music is entwined in our histories, and so the loss of one of the people who made it feels very personal.

A friend told me that you could hear the Beastie Boys blasting out of apartment and car windows throughout the streets of Brooklyn this weekend. It is a beautiful image, one that I’ve been holding on to as I sit here with heavy heart, sifting through words unspoken, trying to pull out the right ones to say.

Adam was a friend of mine. Or, I should say he was a friend of many, and I was lucky enough to be one once, back when he was a snowboarder, and spending a lot of time in our world.

The articles so far have been skipping over that part. I imagine that, from the outside, the time that he spent chasing snow in the mountains seems like a strange transition period between eras when he was breaking ground in hip hop and when he was pushing to raise awareness of the Tibetan peoples’ struggle for freedom, and probably doesn’t seem that significant. And maybe it isn’t.

But people like Adam live 100 lives in the span of time it takes most of us to live just one. When they go they leave behind a lot of stories. You can’t just tell the big ones. You have to tell them all, even the little stories that don’t seem to mean much of anything, because details are the breadcrumb trails we follow when we’re trying to find our way back to the people we’ve lost.
