Favourite Marc Bolan Quote: With my Les Paul,I Know I'm small, But I enjoy living anyway

First Bolan experience: I first heard/saw Marc Bolan ... I was a mere Lad ,age 16 , When I was in a terrible funk do to a "Teenage Dream" -Love gone bad-When my two best friends came to visit me in my Darkened room. Totaly out of the blue they decided to bring me this "LP" by ,at the time an unknown band. It was the 1st T-REX ( with "Is it Love") They paid the're "visit" & left. On the turntable the LP went and no words could explain the shear Joy these songs brought to me- they were a lifeline and I can honestly say My life would not be what it has been without Marcs songs, Poetry etc........It may sound silly but I feel He had a hand in making me the person I am today!!! I saw Marc 5 times Once opening for Mountain at the Fillmore East ,then as headliner at Capital Theater in Jersey, once at the Acadamy in N.Y.C , Then came the lean years,,seeing him in a Club again in New Jersey, And the last time was a great show yet sad as He opened up for Three Dog Night at the Nassau Collasium (he had his whip & was so overweight but I was in the 3rd row and I was in Heaven) I will go now with just this thought , We are all different and love Marc for various reasons, They are Still a bonding force between us all..... And Please remember Marcs Gentle side and Carry that with you each & everyday I know if we do it will keep his soul at peace...

What would you like to tell the world about Marc Bolan: I just think that ... Unfortunatly Amercans missed out on some beautiful music!! As I've said to others They could'nt put down the macho bull and in turn were threatened by him and his Glam Style.. They could accept Bowie because he was not threatening He was an Alien so that made him safe. Of cause this is'nt everyone here as you can see we are a healthy lot I just wish Marc made that breakthrough something he too wanted... So WORLD rejoyce in what Marc was so kind to leave us--His Music - His very being!!!
