Probably a bit short of cash, having been successfully sued by the Pistols to get their missing royalties back a few years ago.
Saw him on some lame documentary about Sid Vicious' last 24 hours the other night. Turns out, Sid's mum confessed to deliberately giving Sid a massive OD whilst awaiting trial for Nancy's death. She shot him up cos he was too out of it to do it himself. Euthanasia from your mum aged 27 - how ironically rock'n'roll is that?
McClaren's a creepy little fucker. Don't know if you've seen The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle - he effectively tries to take credit for the entire punk movement as a planned hustle to get money out of the record companies. No doubt he'll claim something similar now he's working for whitehall as some kinda civilservant. Tosser.
He once tried to force the Pistols to write a song about S&M. He even gave them a title - Submission. The Pistols turned it into a pisstake. 'I'm on a SUBmarine MISSION for you, babe. I can't get enough of your watery love...'
