Lecture: Authenticity vs Karaoke Culture


Shortly before his death, Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren gave this excellent talk on the quest for authentic creativity, in which he contrasts the culture of necessity he was born in with the culture of desire in today’s popular media, then goes on to explore what’s wrong with education and how he championed the “messy process of creativity.” An absolute must-watch.

"Reflections on Learning" keynote presented at the Handheld Learning Conference 2009, London. Malcolm discusses his life, the challenges that authenticity faces within a karaoke culture and what we learn from failure. Recorded October 6th 2009. Contains mild references to adult themes and occasional use of adult language.
