RIP MCA! Yeah such a bummer about that one. I've got my Beastie Boys video collection around here somewhere, maybe I'll have to check it out... I remember hearing "Girls" when I was 10 or so and getting kind of embarrassed about it for some reason. I first heard the song in an actual girl's room. An older girl even! Sadly this was the extent of my studly maneuvers for years to come.
And of course, we owe them thanks for teaching Aeryk, literally, everything he knows about Bob Dylan.
