Smoke on the water
Joe Corre was at the centre
of a huge publicity stunt
this week for punk's 40th
anniversary. In front of a
crowd which seemed to consist
mainly of journalists, he
burned a collection of punk
memorabilia on a Thames barge.
It was breathlessly reported
around the world that the
collection was worth $5m...
$10m... some even say that
it was priceless!
But did anyone think to check?
Gossip has been circulating
all summer that the collection
he immolated – far from being
family heirlooms passed down
from Corre's parents, Malcolm
McLaren and Vivienne Westwood
– was actually bought in a job
lot a couple of years ago
from Nellee Hooper.
The cleverest thing about it?
Now that it's all gone up in
smoke, no-one will ever know...
