Love the attitude, not much to say, which is really rare for me, but I am trying to behave, which is really rare too. Great post I loved it.

Always pretty radical in the music scene.Kind of like an English Phil Spector,including the looks.He changed music and attitudes with his agressive management style.I always preferred The Clash to the Pistols but he definitely influenced what was happening in music at that time.

Malcolm Maclaren was a real music visionary and he dared to take chances with his music when others chose to conform. When hip hop and rap music and break dancing was still in its infancy he released the classic rap & hip hop music video and song "Buffalo Girls" which instantly created a whole new break dancing movement in Europe and the UK. At the time it was one of the hottest rap & hip hop music videos and break dance videos out there and got a phenomenal response from the public. So thanks for all the music Malcolme Maclaren you left a legacy that few musicians ever do.

Malcom McClaren is a great man on modern music!
