A Young Marc Bolan.

Here he is as a young 15 yr old mod! https://images.app.goo.gl/6DiLRx1AxvKfo1RA7

And your question ?

My sister had posters of him all over her bedroom. It was a sad day when he died

[Canary42]

I used to pass "that tree" on my commute in the 80s - it was always plastered with tributes. Looking at Google Street View it seems to have been chopped down, replaced by a small shrine.

[Patsy33]

I didn't know he was a mod. Always a good looking boy.
Yes, Barry, a very sad day when he died. Loved his music.

I watched YouTube vids of some of his TOTP performances recently. I could understand why my dad grumbled about him, I had never noticed just how tight his trousers were. Not just meat and 2 veg - the whole Sunday lunch is on display :D

A proud young man, I'm sure

Marc Bolan was a fashion model from his early teens, way before he found fame as a pop star.

Never in a million years would I have thought that was Marc Bolan, I assume he's the on the right?

barry - // ... I could understand why my dad grumbled about him ... //

I'm glad it was just grumbling in your house - when my dad saw him with the glitter on his cheeks, shaking his cirls, he nearly had a thrombosis on the spot!!

My daughters have never been able to enjoy the experience of pop music simultaiously bonding them with their peers whilst alienating their parents, I either enjoyed the same music that they did, and if it wasn;t to my taste, I simply ignored it.

Phrases like "Call this music?????" never once passed my lips!

[theshedman]

I still have all the T Rex singles and some albums also some of the older Tyrannosaurus ones that he did with Steve Peregrin Took. Those were the days.

[eleanor2]

^^ Brilliant! I can remember a single with a deep blue centre and red bits? Or were his singles all that colour? Strange what you remember.

[eleanor2]

I had to Google it, yes!

On bing, I always forget it won't copy.

Not a very nice man, though. But who is, when they're aiming for stardom? Check out Tony Visconti's autobiography if you don't believe me.

On really athiest? Interesting!
