Your statement is actually a testament to Malky. He was obviously very integral to hype surrounding the Pistols, but your statement seems to suggest that he created the phenomenon of what many people regard as the start of punk music. As far a promoting music, what other reasons are there other than entertainment, and the dream of making lots of $$$.
