FOF #175 - Pop Culture Prophet - 10.17.05
Even if you don't know who Malcolm McLaren is, you've probably have heard his influence on modern popular music. Malcom managed the Sex Pisols and New York Dolls and was critical in developing the sound and sensiblity of punk music as a response to the hippy post 60's scene that had dominated British rock and roll in the 1970's.
Why was this guy so into the music scene? McClaren claims he developed these bands in order to help sell his clothes from his "SEX" clothes shop he ran with fashionista Vivienne Westwood.
On todays' show, our "Happy Homosexual" Robert Coddington (of Culture Vulture Media) chats with your gay pal Fausto about Malcom's life, his work, his influence, and the incredible story of how Stephen Spielberg almost worked with McLaren to create a musical about Oscar Wilde in the American West.

Hi Fausto, The movie you were trying to think of during your interview with Robert Coddington was CITY SLICKERS. Have a great day. - Joel
