Has been said that back in the Sixties you were either a Beatles fan or a Stones fan.
Think in the Seventies (maybe moreso in the U.K.?) you were either a Bowie fan or a Bolan fan.
Because of this I bought the T Rex singles from my paper round money but never bought into Bolan and his albums until he had left this mortal coil and so missed so much.
Best friends who's egos and drives for success got in the way ?
Still think of Bowie & Bolan foraging through Carnaby clothes shops bins and being all slapstick whilst they tried their hand at being 'painters and decorators' painting Mr Kemps office.
Ladies And Germans ....
Marc Bolan!!!
 JackA special moment, as I was still at school and couldn't make it home to see the live transmission in time,so got my big sister to phone the school's principal to say that my Grandmother had just died.
A long story but funny. 
Then "Mr Feldman" left the stage and left this mortal coil.
So sad!

I saw T.Rextasy a while ago in Cornwall - they were on the same bill as the awesome Aladdin Sane. Although I am biased towards AS, T.Rextasy obviously have a huge following and it has to be said that they are fantastic at what they do. Well worth seeing if you haven't already Jack  Check out their website here |

I've seen T.Rextasy a few times, including once with Tony Visconti, who has played with them a few times. Loads of my Facebook friends are Bolan/T.Rex fans and quite right too.

Not a great one for Bowie "cabaret acts".
Have had a few drunken nights out at a few whilst awaiting the next Bowie tour and thought them fun,but now that any more Bowie tours are looking very unlikely don't think I'd enjoy them the same way.
I'm sated with the Bowie tours I've managed to catch and don't feel the need to get a quick fix with 'second best'.
I'd be more inclined to go see T.Rextasy whom I've seen a couple of times just for the simple fact I haven't seen T.Rex and so the night doesn't get tainted with comparisons or thoughts of what I'm missing.
Haven't I went all Victor Meldrew? Lol

Strange that I should accidentally come across this wee video today.
Was only when I went to post it that I realised what date it is.
A strange video which has contributions from Bowie.
Lots of weird connections with Marc leaving this mortal coil on this day in "77.

PS T. Rex on the sound system this eve in celebration.

Due to buying some Bolan rarities and box sets, T Rex are on heavy rotation on the sound system in Freecloud.
A rather excellent unreleased outtake edit for the Born To Boogie Dvd methinks...
