Were the Beastie Boys an important part of your musical adolescence? If so, this may bring a tear. Or it may bring bile. Gawker says Coldplay's tribute to recently-deceased Beastie Boy Adam Yauch is dreadfully corny; I say it's the sweetest thing I've seen this week, and it even functions as music. (Is it me, or does Chris Martin's voice at the end of the verses call to mind late-70s Roger Waters?)
Anyway — see Coldplay fight for their right to party, AFTER THE JUMP …
