    Gotta love the Sabena Caravelle in the beginning. And yes, this film shows why we considered Marc Bolan as cool in those days; he was a fascinating person.

    Marc Bolan WAS indeed very talented, confident with a laser-like focus to be successful. Enormous self belief and a devil may care attitude in public, I'll love T.REX forever, my fave group, Ive lived and breathed Marc Bolans Tyranosaurus Rex and the later T.REX for a lifetime and their music has been very fullfilling and a real treasure to me. Now, youll oly get the benefit if tou stick it out stick with it, learn it, theres more in it that your ears first hear. It beds in to you gradually and all the perfectly timed flourishes hook you. The older softer ones envelope you with intimacy, like a shaddowy canddle lit room lined with velvet and comfortable plush fabrics to lay down in, then there's the Flower-Power, man! 🌼🏵️🌸 💜🩷 but its mostly post-hippy, and alway was unique! However, I wish he'd not done the drugs, not over indulged, not been so self aware, tried less hard to show-off on stage in the way he did, wish he had acted camp or not but without the feather boa and overly effeminate later period with front hair grip on a few videos and putting on weight, over acting and so on , man, I cant watch that For someone so good at writing, playing and singing in his own unique style, it has to be said he had no idea as to how to perform physically and image wise as the glam-rock period morphed and changed. All he needed to do was play well, look sexy, keep writing, stay healthy and leave a bigger portfolio of songs for us to relish and cherish, because most of his music was high quality, especially to the initiated ear. God bless him and son Rolan, Gloria, and producer Tony Visconti who apparently actually added a lot to the music even played various instruments on some tracks in the electric period. Nice guy. He added a great sound & feel to some of it. I particularly recommend and love the following few tracks - off the top of my head, but there are just so many I can't live without: A Day Laye, Raw Ramp, Cadilac, Thinderwing, King of the Mtn Cometh, Summer Deep, Jewel, Get It On (Bang A Gong), Jeepster, Telegram Sam, Tenement Lady, Rock On, Sunken Rags, Buick Macane, Mustang Ford, (from the green Doves album) Great Horse, Diamond Meadows, Summer Deep, Blessed Wild Apple Girl, Find A Little Wood, (steady)! The Throat of Winter, 😮 Once Upon The Seas of Abyssinia, Children of the Revolution, Metal Guru, By the Light of the Magical Moon, (original album version), Salamanda Palaganda, Plant Queen. To name but a few. Enjoy. 'Plant your T.REX seeds and let them grow', it's worth the investment of patience if not immediately taken to it. A music fan, or officionado can appreciate music from many eras and styles not just the period they grew up in or what they are used to. It's like art, you want all the cours not just two even though two may be your favourite.
