In A World Gone Mad

TO TRY TO CHANGE THE WORLD I’M A PLOT & SCHEME

If you read the Wriz’ award winning piece on Wed then you’ll have some idea on what this Hoodwink’d will be about. BTW, big ups to the Wriz for the love in that piece. I weeped like that Indian who cried over pollution…for realz! So anywho, about an hour after I emailed last week’s blog to the Wriz I got a text about the passing of one of my heroes Adam Yauch bka MCA of the Beastie Boys. In 1986, 13 year old boys wanted to be Michael Jordan or maybe even Michael Jack, but I wanted to be a Beastie Boy. I went to my first Phillies game (at the Vet) in ’87. We spent the day in Philly where I bought my first Beastie Boys tshirt. Like Ice Cube said….it was a good day.

I don’t want to spend this whole Hoodwink’d talking about Yauch, but f’ it how many bullpen or Orr jokes can I make? I follow 3 groups of people on Twitter: Comics, old school mc’s & Philly’s sports heads…and all 3 gave Yauch props. Even Big Daddy Shane paid his respects. I met Adam on 2 occasions where he was both gracious & chill. It was almost like talking to an old friend. MCA, along with Adrock & Mike D, changed the way my generation walked, talked, dressed & shaked their rumps! Sure Adam Yauch fought for his right to party, but he also fought for Tibetan’s rights, women’s rights & overall human rights. I will miss his raspy voice, his witty rhymes & his spirit. Rest in peace friend

Now from a hero of hiphop to a field full of (flip) flops:
