malcolm mclaren was NOT a rich man, he got rich off the sex pistols. he saw how much money could be made from the punk movement when he was in america and signed the sex pistols, THATS what made him rich, then they found out and kicked his ass to the curb! and who cares if sid couldnt play? they only signed him for his image cos it was THE epitome of punk and thats what was important.

before anyone tries to argue...i studied punk's rise to 'power' for three months as part of my media course and i got the highest mark in the centre for my knowledge so im sorry but im most probably right (sorry just a bit of bragging there!!!)

anyway, in my opinion i prefer sex pistols, although i do quite like the ramones
