One of the most peculiar of individuals has passed on. I think he pissed off a lot of people, but the way he used life as a means to produce art and culture remains forever perpendicular to the usual means of art production. Duchamp made ideas superior to the objects they represented while McLaren made the production of culture superior to ideas. He definitely didn't invent punk rock or the wheel, but a disruption he did create. He's most famous for the Sex Pistols, but he also helped along the new wave group Bow-Wow, and created some classic Hip-Hop. Much Respect.
