He did too. He introduced Cookie and Jonesie to Lydon. McLaren was the one who did everything possible to get them to hate one another, like booking really badly co-ordinated tours where they would have to drive miles to each show in a crappy van that couldnt go uphills. He was the architect of all that. He manipulated them so that they wouldnt get along with one another and even that American tour was McLaren's little plan, make 'em play in the Southern states where they went down dreadfully when he could have booked 'em to play New York at CBGB's. You think that was all an accident?
