gurus of new marketing #474 malcolm mclaren


It's not necessary to be liked by everyone. In fact, that is a hinderance.
It's not about 'how many' you can 'reach' it's 'who' connects with the idea.

And often the key is not what you are 'for' it's about what you are 'against'.
In 1977 Malcolm and the Pistols were essentially 'against' everything else.

Oh dear.
Can't resist quoting J Rotten's old adversary, J Strummer esq:

'he who f*cks nuns, will later join the church..'

old punks never die....they go and work for apple


We took notice as this week's launch of the new ipod nano unfurled.
Each available variant is illustrated with an album pic in the screen relating to each colour.

The array of current pod-friendly harmless popsters - Clavin harris for yellow, Interpol for red, James Blunt for blue etc etc - is shamelessly disrupted by the inclusion, in the pink model, of...not
'would you?/wouldn't you?' brat poppette 'Pink' (as you may have predicted) but none other than...gnarled, drug-addled grandads of glam-punk ...
THE MIGHTY NEW YORK DOLLS,
THE TOTAL AND UTTER KINGS OF RAWK'N'ROLL AND GREATEST BAND IN HISTORY.



thanks John.
