I don't see anything wrong with being fickle-he was trying to find his niche. I can see why he went from being hippy folkie-that to was a phase-Bob Dylan started that & Marc must have admired it, when he was Mod he was very young & Mod was the thing-The Small Faces were a Mod band and then Steve Marriott went on to blues/rock. I don't get where the "Glam Rock" comes in-he wored brocade blazers with satin pants-it suited him-he would put a couple of sparkely spots on his face. Later on when he thought he was "competing" with David Bowie (Bowie wasn't competing) he amped up his androgynous look & wore flowing tops & quite a bit more makeup-that could be "Glam". One thing though about Marc & T Rex was his unique sound & flowy-dreamy vocals. He had a very soft voice but when he sang he could "punch" it up to a roar that seemed to come out of nowhere. He was just very unigue. After his The Slider & Electric Warrior album he was finding it harder to come up with good #1 hits and I think he was becoming desperate so he was desperatly trying to pull it all together. Didn't like when he took Gloria on board-screaming background noise did really have a place in any of his music. I have done a lot of digging on Marc & T Rex & found it all really interesting. One thing that puzzled me was he never introduced his band at start-up or after. I never heard him once introduce them.
