Malcolm McLaren dies aged 64

Malcolm McLaren, the former manager of the Sex Pistols and impresario, has died. He was 64.

McLaren had had cancer for some time. His condition recently deteriorated rapidly and he died this morning in New York. His body is expected to be brought home to be buried in Highgate cemetery, north London.

Born in North London, McLaren was best known as the manager of the iconic punk band The Sex Pistols. After attending and dropping out of several art colleges in 1971 he opened a clothes shop on the King’s Road , Let It Rock, with Vivienne Westwood.

He achieved the notoriety that never left him when The Sex Pistols’ anti-establishment single God Save The Queenstole the number one spot during the Queen’s silver jubilee in 1977. His spokesman Les Molloy said: “He had been suffering from cancer for some time, but recently had been full of health, which then rapidly deteroriated. He died in New York this morning. We are expecting his body to be brought back to London and buried in Highgate Cemetery."

Hmmm, first time I have tried to embed youtube videos on the new TF and it no longer seems to work.

Yea, Ive been saying this for ages, the embed code disappears, but it is still there you have to guess where it is.

. Once you push "Post Journal" the vid does appear.

I asked Admin about this, this is what he said

"#1 is a bug . . . we discussed in PM. Before you couldn't post in Safari and now you can't post in FireFox . . . maybe one day when the authors of tinymce get it right we'll be able to post in both icon_smile.gif"

...I didnt quite get what he meant, but I think its outta his hands.

Oh, and poor old Malcolm, you will be missed.

damn firefox!!

BRING BACK THE OLD TF!!!

I dont know what happens in Internet Explorer. But it makes my skin crawl...so I dare not open it.

He will be missed indeed. Rest in peace. Without him, there wouldn't have been Vivianne Westwood until now.

sad and scare of death tho...RIP..
