English Summary/英文概要： Malcolm McLaren is the fascinating and definitive life of the controversial cultural iconoclast and visionary who overturned the worlds of art, design, fashion, film, media, music, politics and television in his ceaseless search for expression as a visual artist.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 马尔科姆•麦克拉伦，原英国朋克乐传奇性手枪（SexPistol）乐队经理，朋克摇滚时代的开创人之一，英国“朋克之父”。1975年，身为伦敦雀西区国王路Sex服装店老板的马尔科姆•麦克拉伦，找来几名常来店内光顾的失业青年跟店员合组成一个乐团，毛遂自荐担任他们的经纪人，并用店内贩卖的一件T恤上头的标语为这支乐队命名为“性手枪”乐队（Sex Pistols）。
麦克拉伦音乐生涯的顶峰是作为性手枪乐队的经理。性手枪乐队以其暴力、咒骂以及反政府的歌词和态度震惊了整个英国，并且帮助朋克乐走向了主流音乐。尽管性手枪乐队的职业生涯充满坎坷，但是乐队的成功很大一部分要归功于这位经理天才的推销能力。
此后，麦克拉伦和性手枪以无政府主义者的形象出现，立刻声名鹊起。使朋克音乐风格成为继嬉皮之后的又一青年运动，也使伦敦的国王路（King Road）成为世界著名的朋克风景线。他以“朋克”为调色板，创造出为现代某些青年喜爱的服饰，也因此被称为“英国朋克之父”。
2010年4月，据英国媒体报道，现年64岁的马尔科姆•麦克拉伦在几个月前就被诊断出癌症晚期，随后前往瑞士医院接受治疗，不过，马尔科姆•麦克拉伦还是难逃生老病死的宿命。2010年4月8日晚，马尔科姆•麦克拉伦在瑞士去世，享年64岁。他死后，遗体将从瑞士运回伦敦的海格特公墓埋葬。
麦克拉伦之子乔•科雷（JoeCorre）在电话中向美联社的记者表示：“他是朋克摇滚乐的创始人之一，正是他改变了整个的音乐世界。他的一生让我感到自豪。他是一座灯塔，已让后人们去仰望。”
