About Me:
If your into T.Rex then you are already on my friends list... your name being missing is just a technicality :) just press your friend invite button!
My Faves say it all really.
Marc Bolan, a man who could connect us with his ability to stoke the fires of melodic melancholy for his blues. Rupture rolling riff's for his Rock'. ..and along the way, stitch or shred, soulfull silky solo's and then...all the while, make words weave, warble, wander... with wonder.
One of a kind.
He made a GIBSON Les Paul grunt and squeal dirty, like few have... HE ROCKS!
-Check out the Apple Recording studio session where Ringo Starr , Elton John, Marc and T.Rex, all boogie together.!!
Something else..
SNIP
.....With an intuition for poetry that implicitly understands the innate magic of words and sounds, Bolan creates songs that are at once simple and profound, primitive and futuristic, innocent and sophisticated. Those who mistake Bolan's reliance on basic patterns and repetitive rhythms and phrasing for anything less than the disciplined techniques that they are, should remember that communication (especially in forms as confining as popular music) depends a great deal on uncomplicated devices to convey ideas as concisely as possible. Bolan's originality does not lie in the forms he uses, but rather in the perverse and inspired ways he uses them.
-Bruce Harris, Words Music, Nov 72
SNIP. It would be interesting to know Bruce's thoughts regarding Marc's future sound after Nov 72 !!
Hmm..
..Marc Bolan is well due official industry recognition, at least collectively by his living peers??. . He may be looked upon as a cult?, Jew boy?.. sexual enigma?.. mebbe he just pissed the wrong person off? I dunno. Marcs music is so way beyond colour, creed or sexual politics. so yeah.. Hmm.. whats that all about, huh??
BUT the good news...
New listeners (Roll on up!)........

so right and well put "funk it up" and never use full stops
I'm hoping the atmosphere shakes loose a few bits from the memory files.
