The old buzzard dies of cancer at 64. God rest his soul, he gave us punk.


and the Buffalo Gals go 'round the outside:

Ba - baaa, She's lookin', she's lookin', she's lookin', she's lookin'
She's-she's-she's-she's-she's-she's, lookin' like a whore girl

RIP

Malcolm McLaren was also the manager of the New York Dolls in the early 1970s. He was a visionary person, who brought us punk in 1975, break dance in 1981, South African music that same year, well before Apartheid ended, as well as funk and hip hop to the masses, well before it was hip to be a whigger. Who remembers the World Supreme Team Show?



The New York Dolls could be credited, along with Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, to be the precursors of the British punk movement. Yup. Punk started in New York, then got exported to the UK, and marketed back to us by Malcolm McLaren and Vivian Westwood.
The originators: Johnny Thunder, David Johansen, Sylvain Sylvain


And his superb club version of Puccini's Madame Butterfly

I thought it had something to do with the maker of legendary supercars. Obviously I'm uneducated as hell.

[Jand3rson]

Oh man. This seriously sucks ass.

Probaby the weirdest statement I've heard in weeks. What "punk scene" were you in? The one from 1989? Punk lasted from 1975 to 1977...
