Wisdom of Malcolm
Always knew Malcolm McLaren was a smart thinker, but I never thought his ideas from the 70's would fit so neatly into much of the way I go about my day to day life in the ad biz.
Malcolm Mclaren has a show at Edinburgh Festival., "I have been called many things: a charlatan, a con man, or (most flatteringly), the culprit responsible for turning British popular culture into nothing more than a cheap marketing gimmick. This is my chance to prove that so many of these accusations are true."
Stan, have you also got hold of the 'England's Dreaming Tapes'? It's the full transcripts of the interviews Jon Savage did for Englands Dreaming in 1989/90 and the MM interviews are particularly hilarious - alas not all were relevant and could be published at the time.

From this week's popbitch:

man, or (most flatteringly), the culprit responsible
for turning British popular culture into nothing more
than a cheap marketing gimmick. This is my chance to
prove that so many of these accusations are true."
That's even better than the quote I posted!
