And No One Can Stop This Flow From Flowing On

Adam Yauch, aka MCA, aka Nathaniel Hörnblowér announced that he has been diagnosed as having a cancerous (but "very treatable") tumor in his salivary gland. As a result the Beastie Boys are canceling upcoming shows and postponing the release of their new album. It's just strange to see the Beasties with greying hair and medical problems, though it has been over twenty years since Licensed To Ill, quite some time indeed. To me, the fact that their music can sound dated and yet still be timeless shows what a great group they are. At any rate, get well soon MCA: you "got more juice than Picasso got paint".

Oh yes, MCA also likes movies. See his top ten (Criterion-released) picks here.
