Hvem var Marc Bolan af Kenny Vedel Halvfjerdsernes ultimative rock – kult figur med en nuanceret musikalsk karriere og en lang liste af hits, hans korte liv til trods. Starten på en epoke, som skulle varer 10 år, tog til med Marcs indtrædende i John´s Children, som vokalist/guitarist i marts 1967. Samarbejdet med verdens første psykedeliske band skulle dog være meget kort – sluttede juni 1967 – hvor han i august dannede duoen under navnet Tyrannosaurus Rex, med Steve Peregrine – Took - som senere erstattedes af Mickey Finn. Duoen var et akustisk undergrunds band med okkulte og kuriøse ord hentet fra det oldtids engelske sprog og Marcs dybe inspiration fra forfattere som Tolkien, William Blake og Huxley satte sine præg på teksterne. Marcs kultagtige status blandt de sentresseres hippiebevægelse forbedrede uværligt de finansielle muligheder og elektriske instrumenter sneg sig ind i musikken. Med en 10 plads placering på den engelske hitliste med nummeret ” One inch rock” skulle karrieren tage en kometagtig fart. Tony Visconti blev producer for Tyrannosaurus Rex, og skabte den unikke T-Rex sound, samt foreslog ændring af navnet til T. Rex, da det var lettere at udtale for de engelske DJ.s på radiostationerne – Marc udvidede staben af musikere med trommeslageren Bill Legend og bassisten Steve Currie, teksterne blev mere surrealistiske – ( kaldte sig selv ” The Salvador Dali of Rock´n ´roll ”) og akkorderne mere simple – så ligetil at Bolan følte sig ekstravagant, når han gik op i en A7 akkord - nu var ” den lille kæmpe” parat til at erobrer verden. Scene showet blev ligeledes - ændret fra ”en lille alf” siddende i skrædderstilling på scenen med sin akustiske guitar og Mickey Finn på congas i baggrunden – til at Bolan bragte un- derholdningen tilbage til rockscenen. Med pompøse baggrunds stafager glitter og glimmer outfit, blev han udråbt til ” the king of glam ” og stod for sin samtids øvrige rockbands som Slade, Sweet, Gary Glitter som en stor inspirator. De mange hits ville ingen ende tage med Ride a White swan over Hot Love, Get it on ( som den dag i dag står som en milepæl i rock historien) til Children of the revolution, Jeepster, Telegram Sam, Metal Guru, var T-Rexmania en kendsgerning. Desværre sluttede karrieren alt for brat – en sen aften den 16. sept. 77. Efter Bolan have færdiggjort 6 – tv shows, kørte en lille mascot –ført af Glorie Jones med Marc som pas- sager gennem Londons regnfulde og tågede gader, da en sort kat pludselig sprang ud foran bilen – hvinene bremser et stort brag - efterfulgt af dyb stilhed, som en Les Paul der for- stummer efter en veloverstået rock – koncert..

In 1971 Johnny Thunders formed the New York Dolls, a band of transvestites, and John Cale (of the Velvet Underground's fame) recorded Jonathan Richman's Modern Lovers, while Alice Cooper went on stage with his "horror shock" show. In London, Malcom McLaren opened a boutique that became a center for the non-conformist youth. The following year, 1972, was the year of David Bowie's glam-rock, but, more importantly, Tom Verlaine and Richard Hell formed the Neon Boys, while Big Star coined power-pop. Finally, unbeknownst to the masses, in august 1974 a new band debuted at the CBGB's in New York: the Ramones. The future was brewing, no matter how flat and bland the present looked. Decadence-rock 1969-75 TM, ®, Copyright © 2005 Piero Scaruffi All rights reserved. Rock'n'roll had always had an element of decadence, amorality and obscenity. In the 1950s it caused its collapse and quasi-extinction.

Angelheaded Hipster: the Songs of Marc Bolan & T.Rex (BMG) September 16, 2020
Album Review: Angelheaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan & T.Rex (BMG) September 16, 2020 A stellar ensemble of artists which include Nick Cave, Lucinda Williams, Todd Rundgren, Joan Jett, two sons of John Lennon amongst others, lay down a worthy and often inspired double album’s worth of classic Marc Bolan songs. Preceding his induction to the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame later in November this year. Angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection. Alan Ginsberg’s Howl and the Beats were one creative well from which the persona of Marc Bolan arose. He regarded himself as a poet foremost, around which he constructed melodies. Variations on twelve bar blues. Published his collected poems The Warlock of Love in 1969. Sold 40,000 but not well received by some critics. Producer Hal Willner regarded him as a serious writer of the calibre of Kurt Weill, Thelonious Monk and Charles Mingus. He passed away in April this year. Grateful for all his past inuences. Played in skife bands. In a trio with Helen Shapiro. Took notice of Phil Spector, Bob Dylan, Dion and the Belmonts. Looked like Dylan for a while. Marc’s father was a Russian Jew. At some point Feld became Bolan. To mirror Chuck Berry, he then became the English Poet of Rock’n’Roll. From 1970 to 1973 he took over from the recently split Beatles in popularity. Appeared in Ringo Starr’s lm Born to Boogie. Started Glam Rock. David Bowie took lessons and came up with Ziggy Stardust. We needed him to give us something to listen to when all that Prog Rock noodling was spilling over.

Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
Joan Jett & the Blackhearts By Jaan Uhelszki As leader of her hard-rockin’ band, Jett has influenced countless young women to pick up guitars - and play loud. IF YOU HAD TO SIT DOWN AND IMAGINE THE IDEAL female rocker, what would she look like? Tight leather pants, lots of mascara, black (definitely not blond) hair, and she would have to play guitar like Chuck Berry’s long-lost daughter. She wouldn’t look like Madonna or Taylor Swift. Maybe she would look something like Ronnie Spector, a little formidable and dangerous, definitely - androgynous, for sure. In fact, if you close your eyes and think about it, she would be the spitting image of Joan Jett. ^ Jett has always brought danger, defiance, and fierceness to rock & roll. Along with the Blackhearts - Jamaican slang for loner - she has never been afraid to explore her own vulnerabilities or her darker sides, or to speak her mind. It wouldn’t be going too far to call Joan Jett the last American rock star, pursuing her considerable craft for the right reason: a devo tion to the true spirit of the music. She doesn’t just love rock & roll; she honors it. ^ Whether she’s performing in a blue burka for U.S. troops in Afghanistan, working for PETA, or honoring the slain Seattle singer Mia Zapata by recording a live album with Zapata’s band the Gits - and donating the proceeds to help fund the investigation of Zapata’s murder - her motivation is consistent. Over the years, she’s acted as spiritual advisor to Ian MacKaye, Paul Westerberg, and Peaches.

Glam Rock by Barney Hoskyns 1
Glam Rock By Barney Hoskyns There's a new sensation A fabulous creation, A danceable solution To teenage revolution Roxy Music, 1973 1: All the Young Dudes: Dawn of the Teenage Rampage Glamour – a word first used in the 18th Century as a Scottish term connoting "magic" or "enchantment" – has always been a part of pop music. With his mascara and gold suits, Elvis Presley was pure glam. So was Little Richard, with his pencil moustache and towering pompadour hairstyle. The Rolling Stones of the mid-to- late Sixties, swathed in scarves and furs, were unquestionably glam; the group even dressed in drag to push their 1966 single "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" But it wasn't until 1971 that "glam" as a term became the buzzword for a new teenage subculture that was reacting to the messianic, we-can-change-the-world rhetoric of late Sixties rock. When T. Rex's Marc Bolan sprinkled glitter under his eyes for a TV taping of the group’s "Hot Love," it signaled a revolt into provocative style, an implicit rejection of the music to which stoned older siblings had swayed during the previous decade. "My brother’s back at home with his Beatles and his Stones," Mott the Hoople's Ian Hunter drawled on the anthemic David Bowie song "All the Young Dudes," "we never got it off on that revolution stuff..." As such, glam was a manifestation of pop's cyclical nature, its hedonism and surface show-business fizz offering a pointed contrast to the sometimes po-faced earnestness of the Woodstock era.

A Quartet of Tyrannosaurus Rex and T.Rex Titles Set for Release in March Submitted By: Bennett Public Relations Tuesday, 7 January 2014
A Quartet of Tyrannosaurus Rex and T.Rex titles set for release in March Submitted by: Bennett Public Relations Tuesday, 7 January 2014 TYRANNOSAURUS REX AND T.REX A QUARTET OF MARC BOLAN RELEASES FOR MARCH 2014 Four classic albums from Marc Bolan’s Tyrannosaurus Rex and T. Rex catalogue will be released on 3 March 2014 by Universal Music Catalogue/Polydor and by Demon Music on their Edsel label. The release of A Beard of Stars, T.Rex, and a double CD set including Tanx and Zinc Alloy And The Riders of Tomorrow/A Creamed Cage, come just prior to the national tour of 20th Century Boy http://www.20thcenturyboythemusical.co.uk, a new musical inspired by the life of the rock legend who continues to captivate each and every generation with his catalogue of hits and classic tracks. Universal Music Catalogue/Polydor turn back the clock for the earliest of the releases – A Beard of Stars (1970) and T.Rex from 1971, each with a bonus disc of rarities unmask Bolan on the threshold of success. A Beard of Stars, a more accessible and streamlined outing than previous Tyrannosaurus Rex releases turned out to be Bolan’s farewell to his late ’60s hippie duo and was the first to feature photogenic new sidekick, the bongo-playing Mickey Finn. The tie-in single, By The Light Of A Magical Moon, was as charming as its title, and the entire set is woven with mysticism and melody. A Beard Of Stars also marked the first real stirrings of electricity, with album closer Elemental Child clocking in at five-a-a-half-minutes, thanks to some extended Hendrix-style guitar soloing.
