Was going to say he was an ass...he was. Stole the antz from Adam because they were compliant. tried to make Anabella take off her clothes all the time.

My condolences to his family, nonetheless. Somebody loved that asshole.

Yes, he was. But look at it this way, without Malcolm McLaren, there probably would never have been the Sex Pistols, and without the Sex Pistols, there probably would never have been the Bunnymen or a great many other bands of that era.

Looking at the Bunnymen now maybe that wouldnt have been such a bad thing.

I'm kind of with scouser (tit-wise) though as a PR type bloke he was pretty good - all that scamming, not to mention appropriation of other peoples talent etc. According to the news lydon 'has led the tributes, saying 'he was always entertaining''. ho ho. hipsters going to put up buffalo gals video aren't you?

the NME has just restyled itself presumably in an effort to sell more copies, though it looks the same to me. However, what luck for them that mclaren should snuff it at just about the same time.

I always thought of McLaren and post Matlock Sex Pistols as a bit of a joke.

I'm sure Kounelaki, Kook and Crystal Daze all saw this one
