Oh and he's responsible for
Same things, almost exactly. Including KOTWF cassette which I wore out.Actually I'm gonna go off here, I owe McLaren such a huge debt - he introduced me to scratching and thus making music; he introduced me to outrage (nudity! vis BowWowWow); he was responsible for nicking the band and thus Adam and the Ants were reborn (Kings of the Wild Frontier - my first cassette!); he introduced me to opera; he introduced me to South African music; he didn't introduce me to punk (that was courtesy of my sister Louise and 999) but he introduced me to the idea that music could be sexy courtesy of 'Friggin in the Riggin'...let alone his connections with stuff I done in my later life. I fucking really owe him one, and I'm raising a glass now.
RIP
In many ways a difficult man to like, IMO, but I also reckon the world will be quite a lot less interesting without him in it.
Endearingly sinister. RIP.
That's kindof genius.
This is my favourite of his, one of many he had a hand in I consider seminal and changed my life.. One of my favourite tracks ever.
