Love him or hate him, his influence is undeniable and indelible. RIP, Mr. McLaren. Thanks for helping me survive high school by creating the Sex Pistols.

What are the odds that Johnny Rotten spits on his grave at some point?

To me, Lydon is a much more compelling character than McLaren will ever be.

Hi.

RIP Malcolm.

I don't consider myself a die hard punk fan, but like said, McLarens impact to the Brit-Punk scene is undeniable. Without him the punk wouldn't be what it is today. Be that good or bad.

I don't like "band-factory" producer concepts the Brit music scene seems to be filled with, even though I do like their products. From the days of old I do at least .

I predict an early punk boom this summer.

Regards
Sam

Local news just ran the story with the headline "musician dies".

Made me chuckle on a few levels.

I interviewed him in the mid eighties. He was kind and courteous.

Thanks

Sex Pistols were cool... Public Image were cooler.
I met and hung out with John Lydon on the first PIL tour of the USA back in 1980.

Thanks Malcom McLaren for what you've done.
