Less than a month ago I walked into a quickcheck and a Silver Jews song started playing and I was blown away because I never in a million years would have expected that. Also RIP David Berman... he is still the only artist or celebrity I have ever felt real sadness for when I heard the news. I was super into the Purple Mountains release at the time and after that happened I realized almost all the songs felt like a message of what he was about to do.

    Your right, that one was big as well, but I was just sad just like a lot of the ones like him. Idk why, I just really felt for David for some reason. He just always seemed like he was never in a good place and to see that he never could find happiness hit me hard.

    One weird coincidence about the Beastie Boys, I got to see them for the first time at their final concert ever which at the time wasn't known. It was at Bonnaroo 2009 and so grateful I got to see them once. It was also my first year going and went to 6 years in total where there were a few other artists I saw that ended up dying right after as well. At the 2009 roo everyone was already sad because Michael Jackson also died that weekend and people were shocked. A lot of my friends who didnt go with us were super excited to see Beastie Boys when they came to our state less than a month later, but never ended up happening.
