It's still Tuesday, so I'll sneak this one in.As I just celebrated my birthday this weekend, I thought we would celebrate the birthday of Marc Bolan (T. Rex), who was born on this date (September 30th) in 1947. Sacklunch and I enjoyed a little T. Rex as we drove through Austin the other day (lots more about Austin to come).
Bolan was killed while a passenger in a car crash. Ironically, he never learned to drive due to a fear of an auto-related premature death. He was two weeks shy of his 30th birthday when he died and the circumstances around his death are worth the click.
Happy Birthday to you both...
ReplyDeleteHUGE fan of a particular era of T. Rex and all things DCRC...cheers!
GREAT clip! I need to see that movie; I've avoided it because Tanx is my fave TRex record and, well, Ringo Starr and Elton John? Clearly, I've had it all wrong. -E
ReplyDeleteTANX is a GREAT record...no filler. Same with Electric Warrior and The Slider...zero empty calories.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with a little Elton John...
ReplyDeleteI had a "Elton John's not so bad" moment the other day. I went back and watched Almost Famous. I hadn't seen it since it first came out. It's a really great flick. Cameron Crowe used Elton's "Tiny Dancer" to great effect. The only thing I didn't like about the movie was Kate Hudson. Jebus, she gets on my nerves.
