Hova lends a helping hand
When Beastie Boy Adam Yauch was diagnosed with cancer, the band cancelled their upcoming gigs, most notably their headlining spot at the All Points West music festival at the end of July. Their replacement was just announced, and wow is it good: Jay-Z will be making his very first American festival appearance on July 31st.
"Life's dirty. Life's unclean. It's birth, it's sex, it's the intestinal tract. One big squishy, unsanitary mess. It never gets any cleaner either. You know, dust to dust, worms crawl in, worms crawl out, right? Even though we know that, we still walk the walk, we still live the life. We're like a bunch of little kids. Little kids, you know, we jump in this big old pond of mud and we're slapping it all over our face, rubbing our hair all down our backs and we're making these glorious, gooey pies. That's us. We're fabulous."
