I heard it this evening on the dutch news radio channel. Followed by an interview with a dutch music journalist who could tell exactly what Malcom contributed at the music industry, in fashion etc. He made it seem Malcom invented the youth culture from 1979-1989 single handedly. Had to think about the things Shane says about that in adwsm..

Nick Kent's most recent book, Apathy For The Devil, has the ring of authenticity about it when discussing Malcolm.

I didn't know it so I googled it. The reviews I read give me kind of the idea it still is seen as an opinion? Looks like a good read though..

This talk of Malcolm has reminded me of the conversation we once had about Bernie Rhodes. And that, of course, has made me miss the kind of crazy that Ghost Town used to share with us.

In a statement, Lydon said that he will "miss" the punk mogul, adding that he was "always entertaining".

"For me Malc[olm] [McLaren] was always entertaining and I hope you remember that," Lydon said in a statement. "Above all else he was an entertainer and I will miss him, and so should you."

Will we see the likes of him again, I wonder.

A dude that liked to do projects that you KNOW started with phrases like "hey you guys, watch this!"? Who had a thing for drinking hard and French prostitutes? A damn clever inventor of things, AND someone that refused to patent his own inventions by declaring "as we benefit from the inventions of others, we should be glad to share our own...freely and gladly." A political agitator, a skilled diplomat, and a creator of nations?

I do hope we see the like of him again.

Damn, I can't believe I didn't learn this in US History back in High School!!

I happened to like him. Quite a bit actually. His death at age 53 is a sad loss to Irish broadcasting.
