I read the (sad) news today, oh boy!

'Duck Rock' still makes my Top 20 Island Records. A Milestone! He made my Zeitgeist in 83...

Malcolm was not only the first who mashed up Square Dance, Afro Beat and Hip Hop. He also made Vogueing en vogue and was arguably the main inspiration for Madonna to bring out her big comeback single "Vogue".

Hey Emmet, ever read 'England's Dreaming' by Jon Savage? It gives Malcolm all the Props he deserved. And it is a gripping read as well! They will probably republish it now...

Hey Ano, thx for the comment. Haven't read the Jon Savage book, but thanks for the tip! I'm reading the new Ian McEwan at the moment, but I'll add "England's Dreaming" to the queue!
