Malcolm McLaren died today, aged 64. I had no idea he was ill (a rare form of cancer). Another big chunk of music history bites the dust, up there with John Peel, Tony Wilson, Michael Jackson etc. Kings Road, Vivienne Westwood, Sex Pistols, punk, Bow Wow Wow, Buffalo Gals (an incredibly overlooked record), Madam Butterfly... He was the definition of the word svengali. Creative, cruel, brilliant. The music world will not see the likes of him again.
