American viewers??

Or is it an oxymoron to say that the dregs of society could indeed contribute anything useful to culture? Does a contribution negate dreg status? Are all contributions, good or bad, of value?

(giving meself a headache...!)

That would be a discussion I would enjoy.

Good or bad the fact remains that people are still putting his poster up 33 years after his death.

Hero or villain, debatable................Iconic, without question.

McClaren put him in the bands for his looks and attitude, dressed up by Vivienne Westwood the band were created to be rebellious and anti establishment. Seems its still working. The fact that he could nor contribute musically had too much fame and money and was a drug addict was an almost inevitable by product for a sad individual. Sounds like he's still selling product which was the original idea.
