“It’s always sad when people die too soon, and I think being famous means that someone out there identified with you and is ready to write the super-personal essay about your life and accomplishments. I’m not trying to argue for a Yauch exception, but I think his case was different for people of a certain age because he and the other Beastie Boys, whether by design or not, seemed invested in having fairly normal lives distinct from the Beastie Boys as these traveling, performing personas.”
I talked to Hua Hsu about how MCA was memorialized specifically and how we memorialize musicians in general for this week’s “A Rational Conversation.”
