My Take
McLaren was less a musician than a provocateur with a genius for lighting fuses. Managing the Sex Pistols, the New York Dolls and Bow Wow Wow, he understood that culture moves on friction, and he supplied it eagerly. I don't always agree with his methods, and plenty of his moves were pure mischief, but I can't deny his eye for the moment a subculture is about to ignite. He treated chaos as an art form and the music industry as raw material. He died in 2010, yet that scratchy, agitating presence still runs through punk's DNA. A true instigator.
