It is with deep and sincere sadness that I have learned of the death of DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) over the long weekend. DJ AM was part of the two-man tour-de-force (along with Travis Barker) that is known as TRV$DJAM. While TRV$DJAM took mash-up to new levels, incorporating AM's incredible skills with Barker's live drumming laid over top, AM will also be remembered for he and Barker's unlikely survival of a plane crash last year in which they lost a member of their security staff and another close friend.
AM, 36, was reportedly sober for the last 11 years following drug problems in his 20s... though drug paraphernalia and pill bottles were reportedly found around his body in his apartment. Thankfully, the death is reportedly "not a suicide" (
MTV).
In trying to keep the mood a little lighthearted, mad props for his use of the term "bababooey" in reference to his recent opening pitch at the Mets game.
