Malcolm McLaren’s *Swindle*: Rewriting the Sex Pistols Myth
Om avsnittet
This episode dives into Malcolm McLaren’s 1979 film and soundtrack, *The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle*, which blends real footage of the Sex Pistols with staged scenes to retell their story from a different perspective. We trace how McLaren’s production choices—selective use of material, legal negotiations over royalties, and the inclusion of new collaborators—reshaped the band’s legacy while igniting disputes among former members over narrative ownership and revenue.
