What a Rotten Fucker: RIP Malcolm McLaren

Svengali, Cosmic-level exploiter, faux-Situationist, Spectacle producer, Art terrorist, et al. McLaren was one of the first to openly use mass media as a weapon against itself. He didn't really care who he used in the process or how they suffered for his vision. He was more than happy to be a villian, and music has perhaps seen none as pernicious as McLaren. Yet, music is far more interesting place because of him.
