 Shambhala Sun - Interview with Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Adam Yauch: I think the Dalai Lama is an amazing individual, but I think that Tibetans in general are really centered in the heart, coming from a real warm place.
Adam Yauch: Lyrically, I was influenced by stuff like Bad Brains and Minor Threat, which were "hardcore" bands that really set a tone for being able to play really loud, powerful music and have the lyrics be really positive.
Adam Yauch: Especially since we've been writing a lot of more positive lyrics and the music is going in a real positive direction, I wind up meeting a lot of really incredible people.

 The religion of rap singer Adam Yauch (MCA of the Beasties)
Yauch, who was formerly known more for his sneering sarcasm than his religious preferences, returned from a 1993 trip to the Himalayas with an interest in Tibetan Tantric Buddhism.
Adam Yauch was complicated to assess because he is known as both Adam Yauch and as MCA of the Beasties.
Adam Yauch organized a concert for Tibet and for someone in his profession (a rapper) his religion is deliciously interesting.

Part of this newfound mellowness is a function of age, of course (the Boys are now all in their thirties)--and one hallmark of Yauch's maturity, in particular, is his wife, Dechen, a Tibetan-American activist whom he first met while attending a speech by the Dalai Lama.
As we eat, Dechen attempts to feed Yauch a piece of squash, but he's having none of it: He ducks and weaves, laughing as he grabs her wrist, his fingers looking impossibly pale against her creamy, coffee-colored skin.
Yauch's maturity remains obvious on Hello Nasty: His "I Don't Know" stands out, for instance, as one of the most unexpected and thoughtful Beastie Boys tracks to date.

 Buddha and the beastie - rapper-turned-Buddhist Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys Interview - Find Articles
Yauch (known as MCA within the hip-hop world) and his two Beastie cohorts have sold millions of records and made a name for themselves as merciless cultural snipers.
Yauch's public identity was always a sneering, snotnosed king of sarcasm, someone who made fun of everything--including the role of rapper.
Even allotting for male maturation, Yauch's transformation from a ranting, snide piper into a soft-spoken paragon of political correctness is arguably one of the more noteworthy spiritual developments in pop music since Cat Stevens began donating most of his earnings to a Muslim school.

 Monks in a Funk: Tibetan Freedom Concerts (NY Rock)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In 1994, Yauch co-founded the non-profit organization – named after one of the big saints in Tibetan Buddhism – "dedicated to the promotion of human compassion" and most importantly Tibet's ongoing, violence-free struggle against China.
Yauch, who recently took the Buddhist oath himself, was the big motivator behind the two Tibet Freedom concerts (1997's two day alterna-fest at Randall's Island and last year's San Francisco love-in); so far they've raised upwards of $800,000 for the monks in a funk.
In between footage of all the acts that made it onto the triple album are chats with the stars, snapshots of saffron-robed Tibetan monks and nuns drifting, with slightly bemused looks, through the crowd, plus a blow-by-blow of the problems in Tibet (1.2 million dead and still counting, tragically).

Likely the most successful Jewish rap group ever, Beastie Boys launched back in 1981 when bassist/singer Adam Yauch and other New Yorkers debuted at Yauch's 17 th birthday party.
Although the band went through some lineups in the beginning, in 1984 they established the current longstanding group of Mike D (AKA Michael Diamond), Adrock (Adam Horowitz) and MCA (Yauch).
Hörnblower had 50 cameras handed out to audience members and these 50 camerapersons had only one direction: once the show starts, turn the camera on and do not turn it off until the show is way over.

 Beastie Boys: Paul's Boutique ---Ink Blot Magazine
Formed in New York City in 1981 by Mike Diamond and Adam Yauch, with drummer Kate Schellenbach and guitarist John Berry, The Beastie Boys began as straight-ahead punk rock band, joining the burgeoining underground club scene.
In 1983, Schellenbach and Berry left, and Adam Horovitz joined; one year later they joined forces with aspiring record moguls Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons and their fledgling Def Jam Records.
Their debut album, License to Ill, was released in 1986, and the mix of heavy metal riffs, punk attitude, and hip hop sensibility made the album an overnight sensation and the best-selling rap album of the 1980's.
