Spouse and child

I'm surprised his wife and child aren't on this wiki entry...

In May of 1998, he married the American born Tibetan Dechen Wangdu and they have together produced a daughter named Tenzin.

Middle East

I have again removed the statement:

Despite his activism however, he has remained largely silent on the Palestinian-Israeli issue.

It is inflamatory and irrelevant. as far as the article is concerned, it doesn't matter in the least that Adam Yauch has remained largely silent on one particular issue, even if he is an activist. If someone notable has criticized him publicly for such and you can cite that, perhaps it would warrant an entry; otherwise, it's a non-issue.

Birthdate

Yauch's birthday is August 5, not 15. See e.g. [1]. I know because he's exactly ten years older than me. : ) dbtfz ^talk 23:02, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Career start date

Found cite that the first Beastie Boys show was in fact on his 17th birthday (in 1981), so I guess that's a reasonable date for him to become "active". However, I do note that the Beastie Boys article says he founded the band, whereas the last.fm profile says the Beastie Boys started in 1979, and he joined in 81. Some weird date discrepancies.

He was also born in 1964, not 1965. See above imdb link. I know because we're exactly the same age. :) --Ivan Zero (talk) 01:43, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

Isn't his last name pronouced to rhyme (assonantly) with "stout"? spikey 19:21, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
