Adam Yauch Park Dedicated in Brooklyn →
Before the unveiling of the new Adam Yauch Park plaque, Frances Yauch spoke of the music she and Noel would play for their young son, including Mozart and Elizabethan lute music. “The whole idea was we were going to introduce him to music and make him love it all his life,” she said. “Well, we succeeded. He loved music all his life, but he did it on his own terms.”
