He began as an unofficial manager of the Dolls in 1975, when the band was in its death throes, dressing them in bizarrely unfashionable red patent leather in a crapshoot to revive the Dolls' career. On Malcolm McLaren's tombstone should be the epitaph his grandmother left to him: "To be bad is good ... to be good is simply boring...
