Video: Coldplay tribute to Beastie Boys (one Ashtangi to a Buddhist)

OK, one last tribute / remembrance to Adam Yauch, aka MCA from the Beastie Boys. But first, how Ashtanga would seem to be another circle connecting Coldplay and the Beastie Boys, aside from the musical/New York one.

Mike D from the BB practices at Eddie Stern’s Ashtanga Yoga New York. (I’ve heard from multiple sources.) And it is pretty public that Gwyneth Paltrow does, too. (She’s featured in the Ashtanga Yoga New York video.) And, Paltrow’s husband is Chris Martin from the band Coldplay.

OK, strings tied. Here’s Coldplay’s tribute to MCA on Friday night, here in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl. (We ran down MCA’s Buddhism here.)

And, at his blog, Eddie is promising a BB video a day until he leaves for his next workshop. Already good stuff there.
