McLaren: the Epstein of punk

So says Steve Jones, Sex Pistols guitarist. Though I wonder if Brian Epstein ever bought The Beatles prostitutes and drugs...

"I had a soft spot for Malcolm," said Jones in a statement. "I knew him since I was 17, before the Pistols formed. I used to drive him around in Vivienne Westwood's car, to the tailors in London.

"Malcolm was definitely the Brian Epstein of punk - without him it wouldn’t have happened the way it did. I stayed friends with him throughout the years, despite some of our differences.

"My fondest memory of Malcolm, and I loved the guy, was his birthday gift to me when I turned 21 - he got me a hooker and some heroin."
