Malcolm McLaren: From the Forties 60 minutes to the Noughties: BBC iPlayer - Episode 1 (Like i told the guy: you could go two weeks and never suss out all the connects)

Following the death of Malcolm McLaren, enjoy the charismatic Godfather of Punk putting his musical life into context, in a documentary broadcast on 6 Music last year.

In From The Forties To The Naughies, Malcom remembers dropping out of art school and setting up Live Fast Die Young on the Kings Road with Vivienne Westwood - the shop which eventually became SEX. Arriving in New York in his favourite black rubber coat and selling red PVC clothing to Debbie Harry and the New York Dolls. Meeting Johnny Rotten in SEX for the first time, getting him to audition an Alice Cooper track, and the Sex Pistols becoming the biggest-selling band at the time of the Queen's Jubilee. He also covers the origins of 40s music - organised crime and the cultural subversion of boogie swingbands.
