^ This is probably very true.
McClaren was a businessman, an entrepreneur with an eye for what was going on around him.
He mismanaged everything he did, brilliantly.
Very similar to Tony Wilson in that respect...both were twats, both were Situationists.
@Lizzie...There is an argument that Vivienne Westwood (his wife) had as much to do with punk, at least as the fashion side of things went.
Without her input, the whole punk image would have had less impact.
And lets face it, the whole punk movement was as much about what people were wearing, as it was about the music.
