“My B could and should be for BOWIE, but today B is for BOLAN. I recently bought the album 'Zinc Alloy and the Riders of Tomorrow' which I've been playing a lot and this is a fave track on it.... I've always loved the T Rex classic songs but I was way too young to be a fan of Marc Bolan and T Rex when they were around...but as a kid I do vaguely remember watching the Marc Bolan Show on TV ... and thinking 'who is this outrageous guy?!' he used to freak me out....this is the last few minutes of the last show....a duet with David Bowie from 1977: http://youtu.be/Hp1C7g-NsLQ ...just 9 days after this was recorded, about 2 weeks before his 30th birthday Marc Bolan would be dead... whenever I'm in or around Barnes I think of Marc Bolan and what a sad loss to the world it was....”
