Yes, indeed! I LIS'd hard on that one. Well done Kingsteven.

And for the fans and naysayers alike - McLaren was far from genius/brilliant, but he also was not stupid - perfect foil for his times.

A very successful boy band manager. The Sex Pistols were a sham.

"Ms. Westwood said last summer during an interview about her career: “When I became a fashion designer, I was helping Malcolm do something — which eventually turned into punk. I was interested in helping him attack the establishment.”
And their son, Joe Corre, who founded Agent Provocateur, told me, describing the McLaren-Westwood household, which also included his half-brother Ben, “We were brought up with the idea of being independent and making up your own mind.”
Today, of course, outrage is a readily traded commodity — nobody really gets fussed when a model prances down the runway in a pair of rubber fetish pants. We don’t see the point anymore. And how many fashion brands would dare to change the look of their stores every few years?
Maybe that’s why Mr. McLaren never limited himself to fashion."

Malcolm McLaren was often branded a genius - but those who knew him also called him charlatan, hustler, plagiarist, pirate and, in the case of Sex Pistol frontman John Lydon, "the most evil person on earth".
His impact on music, fashion, culture and the press was undeniable, however. Columnist Julie Burchill once wrote, "we are all children of Thatcher and McLaren".- yeah, but even Lydon has released a respectful press statement today.Wolfboy

Bummer. I enjoyed the retelling of his antics by David Hayman in Sid & Nancy.
