Malcolm McLaren - RIP. Wow, this is huge...My condolences go out to his friends & family. The influence of this man on culture - fashion, music, politics (in certain circles), even just ideas - is incalculable. He made a lot of enemies along the way, but I'm sure he had his friends as well. I'm sure there will be much, much more over the next several days & weeks as far as memorials & remembrances go, so keep your eyes on the web. Apr 8, 2010

... the perfect obit.
Well, thank you, sir. I'm sorry I had to write it.
Sad news indeed. Should be interesting to see what Mr. Lydon has to say about it...
I saw him give a keynote speech at the Handheld Learning conference in London last year. He rambled on for ages - completely bonkers - but out of it all came some real gems of compelling interest. That now feels like a reflection of his entire life - loads of crazy ideas, some of which turned out to be extraordinarily prescient and enormously inspirational.
Well said AF. I like to think it was all about the IDEAS for him. As much as I loved most of what he was associated with, to me that was the really appealing was that.
