I saw them in Seattle 15th August that year, the night June left Marc over Gloria Jones. <br /><br />I recently heard "Dandy in the Underworld" for the first time. The track, not the whole album. I will fly in the face of popular opinion and say no, this track will not save the starving children who went to bed hungry tonight. After may 50 listenings over 2+ weeks, I opine... Marc sounds tired, fat, bored, old, and OAP-esque. The lyrics aren't even good enough to rate as pastiche; they suck. The sound production is crisp, wh. is rare for anything coming out of the 1970s. <br />If Marc had lived, this would be looked upon as his first baby step back up. And quickly forgotten if what many of us surmise would have been the top of the popular music heap.Jonnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11880995305288978033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856333241837525662.post-36870202933420432272009-05-16T00:25:00.000-04:002009-05-16T00:25:00.000-04:00I just love that top pic of Marc don't you?

He was a little before my time, so I'm not that familiar with him or T. Rex, other than knowing the usual songs. Hard to believe he'd be 62 now. Who said "die young and leave a good-looking corpse?"Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149068921334726430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856333241837525662.post-20373786482812493802009-05-15T23:37:00.000-04:002009-05-15T23:37:00.000-04:00Yeah!

Mostly Cosmic Dancer running through my mind. but I couldn't find a good video of it where he looks good in it. I had such a crush on him back then. He'd be 62 now. But for me he is forever beautiful! I loved the movie Billy Elliott because these used marc in it the whole movie.<br /><br />You sure saw it quick I just did it.!<br />Thanks for coming by. Do a bit on Georgia O'Keeffe for me!Retro Kimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09639596929861136401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856333241837525662.post-61378583066848255502009-05-15T23:18:00.000-04:002009-05-15T23:18:00.000-04:00Great post!Strange but I was just talking to a fri...Great post!Strange but I was just talking to a friend about Marc Bolan and here you did a post how cool is that.Gregoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00896966732505764220noreply@blogger.com
