Well it's 30 years since Marc Bolan died in a car crash. Susan's a big fan though I wasn't so much of a fan at the time though she's managed to persuade me into liking his stuff over the years. I much prefer the early acoustic stuff done with the great Steve Peregrine Took than the later coke-fuelled pap that most people know. Check out this clip from '67 to see if you agree. Lyrically and musically it was much more interesting than the pop stuff which was to my mind unoriginal in comparison. Without doubt a great songwriter and stylist one gets the impression from interviews with people like John Peel that he became a bit of monster in his glory days but never mind - that's showbiz - selling out is the name of the game.
