Malcolm McLaren

Sad news, Malcolm McLaren has died of cancer aged 64.

I imagine he may have been difficult and cantankerous, but took punk to the masses which was fundamental in shaping the music/artworld since the 70s, and rebuilt the publicity machine in his won image.

May he rest in exciting peace.

RIP my arse, he'll be going to hell and partying with all the punks down there.. He was always a hell raiser.

Sad news indeed.

The crafty ol' bastard managed to make a clever business (and tidy packet) out of the Pistols at the time.

RIP

Entertaining guy. Full of energy and ideas.

I think he was a real piece of work.

At a time when music was pretty stagnant he helped kick off something special that (I was 18 at the time) felt bloody wonderful to be on the outer edges of.

I know he claimed all the glory for himself and I think he was a chancer but he helped kick over the tables of the boring music industry party and god knows we could do with some of that now when that C***** git is feeding us total pap.

I hope they bury him in a bin bag done up with safety pins!
