Unbanned Fag: My friend Frank Anthony Polito's Facebook fan page for his novel "Band Fags" has been reinstated.

RIP: Was sorry to hear that Malcolm McLaren had died Thursday in Switzerland of mesothelioma. I'm not entirely sure what kind of a person he was -- I've read so many crazy things about the former manager of the Sex Pistols who is credited with playing a decisive role in creating the British punk movement -- but there's no question his work affected my generation deeply. Bow Wow Wow alone is enough for me to mourn this multifaceted man. (NYT) Read what Johnny Rotten had to say about his former manager HERE.
Very sad to read about Malcolm's passing. I enjoyed him (his banter with almost everyone was hilarious) and alot of his own music myself. His "Madame Butterfly" alone was epic back in the day, and to this day brings back very happy memories. I shall do a "Buffalo Dance" in his honor.
This one is now tied as my most-viewed Morning Wood with DANNY JONES .
