John Berry: Beastie Boys founder was much more than a punk rock footnote The guitarist, vocalist and occasional Bauhaus heckler has left behind a musical legacy that might be thin on material but helped shaped New York hardcore

According to his dad he had fronttotemporal dementia. This presents usually in people ages 45 to 65.
