R.I.P. Marc Bolan


This man was amazing in my opinion. He was more commonly known as T. Rex, but his real name was Marc Bolan.He was more famous in England than in the U.S. even though he was a genuis. His Electric Warrior album was his most famous thanks to songs like 'Bang A Gong (Get It On)' 'Mambo Sun' and 'Raw Ramp.'
Marc died in a car crash in London on September 17, 1977. In 2007 fans turned the crash sight into a shrine for Marc. It's officially known as Bolan's Rock Shrine. It fits. He was a true rock star.
In his songs he sang about love, sex and compared life and women to space and planets (ex. 'Planet Queen'). He was his own person and made his own music. He was unique in his own way. There will never be another Marc Bolan. In my opinion, if anyone calls themselves T. Rex they are desicrating his name. For he is the one and only T. Rex.

Warning


If you listen to music of any kind, you just might enjoy my posts in this blog. This is where I'm going to post my rants, praise, and interests about bands and genres. If anyone who reads my posts has something to say, you can e-mail me. At times I'll be harsh on artists that I don't like. If you like that artist, my deepest apologies. If you want to speak to me about it, like I said, e-mail me.

Some of the bands I praise aren't very well known. If you do know them, hurray! If not, you're really missing out. Other bands are well known and either hated or liked, you deside, I'm not trying to tell you what to listen to, I'm just stating my opinion.

That's all for now! :3
