New York state senators have drafted, reported and adopted a resolution honoring the late Beastie Boys member Adam "MCA" Yauch. The resolution granted legislative time for lawmakers to pay respects to the recently deceased emcee. It called Yauch a "man of colossal talent and charisma" and contained an apparent lyrical reference to the Beasties' 1994 hit "Sure Shot."
