Subversive punk icon Malcolm McLaren was laid to rest in the flamboyant style he’d grown accustomed to. “Too Fast To Live, Too Young To Die,” the slogan from his “Sex” shop, was written on his casket. The funeral procession was led by a horse drawn carriage, and paraded through the home of the punk movement, Camden, in north-west London. Thousands of people lined the streets. Mourners included the remaining Sex Pistols, tarted up Adam Ant, and McLaren’s muse Vivienne Westwood. Westwood wants McLaren to be remembered as an inspiration to the new generation – she advised them to “Get a life – and do something with it!”

Great advice
Looking at what’s left of Adam Ant and Vivienne W, I feel so………….
old.
Ah well, spent a little while today watching YT performances of “Buffalo Gals”, “Double Dutch” & “Madame Butterfly”…. those were the days!
RIP Malcolm
OMG, just think they are some kids grandparents now. YIKES!
Malcolm McClaren changed my life and the lives of most of the people I know!
Good lord…it’s like watching a bad scene out of “Absolutley Fabulous.” This is what happens to doofus hipsters who do not know how to grow up. Thank Malcolm and his ilk for raising a generation of tired, old, punk cliches.
halleluja: ANOTHER FAGGOT IS GONE, folks!!
Rest in Peace to a real innovator.
God, I used to be so in love with Adam Ant !
