Poetry of music: Monks, dancing in memory of MCA

While it’s not clear if the guys in this remembrance of Adam Yauch (aka “MCA”, founder of the Beastie Boys) are actual minks, the mashup of hip hop & his love of the teachings of the Buddha in this video reflects what community organizers in New York have going on: A community arts celebration that hopes to bring together “all lifestyles, sizes, shapes, and forms.”

And with this – a four-people breakdance to “Ch-Check it out” – it appears they have succeeded.
