Adam Yauch has always been my favorite Beastie Boy. He's a bassist, skateboarder, snowboarder, buddhist, and a documentary filmmaker–how cool is all that. He directed a lot of the Beastie Boys' videos, some of them hilarious, and others are lovely grainy black and white jazzy things which I really like.
I was steered towards Buddhism through Yauch and his lyrics, at a time in my life when I really needed it. He continues to be an inspiration as a politically conscious documentary filmmaker. His new film is called "GUNNIN' FOR THAT #1 SPOT" (Check out the trailer here) it's about basketball and nyc, and apparently, it has also pissed off the Nestlé company. Nice.
