Adam Yauch park is official
Brooklyn’s Palmetto Playground was officially renamed to honor Beastie Boy Adam Yauch aka MCA this morning. From Rolling Stone:
Family, friends and fans gathered for a ceremony that celebrated Yauch’s life, accomplishments and Brooklyn roots, and speakers included Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, fellow Beastie Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz and Yauch’s mother, Frances. They and many more recalled the passion, compassion, dedication and humor Yauch brought to everything he did, whether it was music, filmmaking or activism, including founding the Milarepa Fund and organizing the Tibetan Freedom Concert.
