Happy Birthdays!

Vivienne Westwood at
Malcom McLaren's funeral

Today is Malcolm McLaren's birthday.  The man who invented punk rock and The Sex Pistols.  He died last year aged 64 from cancer. His motto was "Too Fast to Live Too Young To Die" which I guess was kinda true.  You can hear him on the pre-Sid Vicious "Anarchy in the UK".  The Sex Pistols were only around for three years. But what a three years they were!








I missed Janis Joplin's birthday yesterday.  Here she is singing her signature tune Piece of my Heart. She died aged 27 of a herion overdose.
