Long, long ago (the 1970s), in a faraway and strange land (the 1970s), there existed a tiny anarchistic tribe called the Sex Pistols. Though noted mainly for their music, they also dabbled in the visual arts—decorating their London cave dwellings with whimsical pictures called "graffiti."

Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten, 1977: "God save the Queen/And her fascist regime." Former Sex Pistol John Lydon, 2010: "I loved the fact William gave Kate Diana's engagement ring... He does have that slightly shoddy look but he's all right."

Malcolm McClaren, manager for the Sex Pistols, punk rock pioneer, composer, and fascinating character, died in New York today. He was 64. Attached, Malcolm takes (far, far too much) credit for inventing punk rock and The Sex Pistols.
