A couple of months ago I put a link on here to Madame Butterfly, Malcom McClaren. I have loved it since the 1980's and still get tingles when I hear it. I was saddened to see he has died of cancer at 64. Far too young. So for those of you who dont't know this one of his songs here you go:

Malcom McClaren RIP
Yes, I heard yesterday that he had died.
Of course, we had the joys of the Sex Pistols via McClaren, under rated in many way... over rated in others.
But I think the energy of that period, the dynamism was very much helped along by McClaren partnership with Viviene Westwood.

Sad to hear that news though personally I thought he was a self obsessed knob

I'm with Sassy on this, though I liked that song he did, 'Something's Jumping in my Shirt' - and 'Madame Butterfly' was good, too.
I just don't buy that whole 'I invented punk rock' thing he insisted on doing. People are talking as if there would be no alternative scene at all if it weren't for him, and it's the same people who two days ago didn't like him because he encouraged Sid down that self destruction route because it looked cool and made a good story.
Still, it's sad when someone so unique dies, and my viewpoint is well clouded by stuff I have read over the years, most of which is probably untrue. He was certainly one of those great English eccentrics we do so well.

just goes to show what a dumb blonde i can be, i thought he was something to do with F1 racing :-(
Yes - I had to think first when the news came in as the name is even bigger in motorsport than in pop music - then I remembered that Bruce McLaren died at Goodwood years ago, but it is good that his memory lives on in the F1 cars that bear his name.
