Favourite Marc Bolan Quote: IF BOB HOPE WAS TO COME TO ME AND SING LIKE BESSIE SMITH, I'D KISS HIS FEET

First Bolan experience: I first heard/saw Marc Bolan ...SINCE I WAS A KID IN THE EARLY 70'S I HAD THIS SONG IN MY HEAD THAT I'D ONCE HEARD. I HUMMED IT TO MYSELF FOR YEARS UNTIL 1978. A FRIEND OF MINE BOUGHT THE "ELECTRIC WARRIOR" BECAUSE OF "GET IT ON". I SAID "THAT'S A COOL TUNE, GIVE IT A SPIN!" HE PUT THE LP ON HIS STEREO, BUT THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RECORD. I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EARS WHEN "THAT SONG" CAME OUT OF THE SPEAKERS! "MAMBO SUN" WAS THE TUNE I'D BEEN HUMMING ALL THAT TIME. I RAN TO THE RECORD STORE TO GET MY VERY OWN COPY. IT'S STILL MY FAVORITE BOLAN SONG TO THIS DAY!

What would you like to tell the world about Marc Bolan: I just think that ...ANYBODY WHO THINKS THAT BOLEY IS AN INSIGNIFICANT FEY FOOTNOTE IN POP HISTORY DOESN'T KNOW POP HISTORY OR THE TRUE INFLUENCE IT CAN HAVE ON VARIOUS POP CULTURE THEMES OR THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT UP. I ALSO THINK BOLAN'S SONGS ARE STILL WITH IT. I LOVED SO MANY GREAT BANDS IN THE 70'S, YET ONLY LISTEN TO THEIR SONGS WHEN I GET THAT RETRO FEELING. I NEVER TIRE FROM MARC BOLAN. THAT MUST MEAN SOMETHING.
