Malcolm McClaren - Rock and Roll Swindler - Dead at 64

Sad to hear this news, read the NYTimes Obit here and the Daily Mail here. Both give different reports of his death and a different details about his life.

Apparently had Mesothelioma, the cancer that comes from asbestos exposure. Terrible way to die. I mean, "Buffalo Gals" was no masterpiece, but hardly deserving of such torture.



But seriously, he was a genius, and an inspiration for rock promo people everywhere. I doff my ex-band manager cap to him.
