    A must see...'nuff said
    As a somewhat old sod i grew up with Beastie Boys and this inside story told by sadly the only two of the boys still with us made me laugh and brought a tear to my eye...more that once i might add. Its rare to see a friendship like those 3 guys had and the 2 still with us still have....very touching and quite emotional to watch. So if you have even the slightest interest in Beastie Boys you owe it to yourself to watch this :-)
