everyone knows bolan acted like a coked out diva till he died,but rocked like no other.a true original,a true rock star,egomaniac?gloria is so beautiful...marc knew he had to die young,after all he was the wizard,right?
@nico629 Soul of My Suit is incredible.....i think one of the things i like most about him & the Dolls & Iggy are similar filters in that everyone loves to name drop them in some desperate attempt to play some (useless) cool card but when you really get down to it & quiz people on the facts more than most miserably fail...i think that's a testament to being a true enigma
@XxBOOSHGIRLxX hi i only read your comment today but i must say me too have difficult in believing Marc gave Gloria a black eye.I have studied domestic violence and know the signs.Even though i've of course never met Marc but i can tell this man doesn't have the signs at all! IF it should be true after all it must have been a onetime incident under influence of much alcohol but even that is VERY hard to believe.Just look at his eyes... no way!
@mymusic777ify I know its absolutely disgusting how people would say such awful stuff about Marc so they can get a chance to be in the limelight and of course poor Marc can't even defend himself now. :( I don't understand how people can live with themselves saying such awful things about the dead and even if it was true i agree it must of been under the influence and it must of been incredibly out of his character to do so coz Marc never came across as the sort of person to be like that.
@XxBOOSHGIRLxX it's just rubbish which make people start think about that more than just remember him with love.We have to defend him now and honour his memory i know i will! i think he was a sweet,sensitive,kind and loving guy.Just the fact that he dated a black girl which was very unusual back then,it shows he was loving and not a rascist or anything.Lets just forget it and send only good thoughts of love to Marc.He is with us everyday in our hearts!
i simply dont like his music............but had to watch this since everyone i know loves him............pretty good story, if a bit typical, like his music.
LOADSA THINGS IN THERE THAT WERE WRONG - ESP' ABOUT HIM HAVING LESS HITS TOWARDS THE END - THE MAKERS NEED TO GET THEIR FUKIN FACTS STRAIGHT - STUPID BARSTARRDSS! - MARC BOLAN RIP XX
@TheMikesMaiden well when she said drugs didnt play a rolll ....bullsh** he should have stayed with June...she took care of him and kept him straight.... but we all f*** up... it was his destiny I suppose...Just so sad that he is gone and will be forever missed!!!!!!!!!!
Just another violent, drug-addled rock star who sold his soul to Satan. If you sell your soul you have the devil to pay! Looks like the contract with the evil one didn't included airbags!
I think the point about his weight was so hyped here. Yes he looked a little bigger and rounder in the face, but not in the way they suggest here. From what they are saying you'd think he was morbidly obese. This was not the case.
Marc Bolan was an awesome performer and songwriter. in a time when the charts were flooded with emerging talented musicians. He could easily hold a candle to any of them. Rest assured his place is safe as being one of the greatest performers in popular music history.
If you are involved in a car crash and your partner is killed you would be devastated and may years later you would find such an incident haunting. This Martha one here just talks about it in a matter-of-fact fashion! She ain't driving me fucking home, that is for sure!
"I danced myself out of the Womb ,I dance myself into a Tomb ,Is it strange to dance so soon?" "Is it wrong to understand ,the fear that dwells inside a man?"
This brought me to tears, although some statements aren't real, like nico629 pointed out, this documentarie really captivated me,part specially the part where gloria&rolan are singing along to cosmic dancer with marc on the background. I keep a little Marc in my heart :')
@nayen96 This doc is out on DVD i actually have it!!! I will look thru my dvd 2moz an if u wud like it i can copy it for u and send it u! I cud copy all my dvd 4 u if u like? xx
@BolanBarlow1 you have it? amazing! I've been looking for it all over the place but it's hard to find in Venezuela, VERY hard to find, people don't appreciate Marc's talent that much in here :( and would you really do that for me? thank you so much! Really, thank you!, I'll be waiting for your answer anxiously, xo:D
@nayen96 I have around 5 documentaries and i also have a special edition born to boogie, i am away from home until wednesday next week so i cannot do anyfing before then but i will copy and send them for u no problem xx
@BRUTUALTRUTH No he was made to be a GIRLFRIEND beater after he died!!! Wen he cud not talk for his self ..... Funi how his actual wife lived for years after this was made yet not once did she say he evre treated her badly! Before June died she had gud word only bout Marc!
He was the true King of Pop. He formed the grooviest guitar licks on "Ride a white swan" & "Get It On". I had a huge poster of Marc on my wall in 1972...i think it came with the "Electric Warrior" LP.
@TheBooshBabe Well oit was da 60 / 70 wen he dressed liked that u fool ur older family wud of dressed like that aswell do they dress like that now ????? of course not u retard!!!!
the irony is that marc was afraid to drive period that's why he never learned how....in his songs there many references to cars...rolan bolan is so cute...rip 1977 marc bolan
y less than a mile from his house in a mini he also had a song which he sang .... the road u r driving Gloria wont tkae me home years before he met her there is many manyt more spooky fings involving his death!!!!
Even if she was drinking, I'm sure they'd done it before and Marc would have had no issues with it. Before the late 80s it was pretty common for people to drive home with a few drinks in them. It's just one of those unfortunate accidents.
No G, anger can disolve like all things on our plane of existence...he would never want us to feel hate or revenge...only love...there is a bit of Marc in every musical band today..
It's so cool that he got his life back together, and that Gloria and their son Rolan are good people. I was buying a new Yamaha YZ 125 when I heard of his death while inside paying for it. Some things you never forget. I can remember where I was when Jim Morrison, Jimi, John Lennon, JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King were assassinated or O.D.'ed.
It's too bad so many people have such hate for Gloria. I've read that she was after his money, tried to control him. Anyone who knew Marc knows that nobody could control him. Why would Gloria still be on good terms with his family if they blamed her for his death? And look what she's doing with her life now. Does that seems like a materialistic, cold person? I'm sure she feels guilty about driving the car, would'nt you?
Its good to know Marc got back on top before he died. In a way it was a good thing that he died. He has become immortalised, which im sure he wanted, but not at the price of his life.
xcuze me a usa fan since72 ..didnt marc stop drinking on live at the rainbow wasnt he toasting the crowd with coca cola?..i know i dont have the facts..just appreciate all im learning
STILL this music is pulling tears out of me...show some respect sorry fools!!! Gloria apparently is singing these tunes to kids in impoverished africa! man... how can you be SO low?
Your father is not an idol, his personal relationship to you is much deeper and more real. You begin by looking up to him, then rebel, and maybe even look down on him in teen years, and eventually learn to value him more deeply and more maturely in adulthood. The relationship evolves over time. It isn't hero worship.
there was an investigation- but turned up nothing. I think Marc was and still is a fantastic man and singer. My favourites are Get it on, Ride a White Swan and I love to boogie. RIP Marc- your alive in all our hearts.
I'm a new fan and Marc is the most gorgeous and talented man I've ever seen! The way he died is making me sick. To me Gloria robbed us of Marc. Why wasn't she arrested at the time and wasn't there an investigation? Wiccansister or anybody else out there please shed some light on this."ALL MY LOVE" always for you, Marc. ps maybe they should reopen the case.
I always believed that an artist becomes more of a legend after their death! What would have been Sid Vicious without his death? Or Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain????? If he lived now, he would have probably been an old fool, trying to get into music again like Sex Pistols now do, or other bands of old men!
What a fucked up attitude. You want artists to die for you to preserve their glamour? You think older artists are all pathetic. . better off dead? Fucking asshole!
Bands of 'old men' have made great music. BB King, for one is still playing beautifully.
It's the idea that an artist reaches his spiritual peak through death! Sid Vicious was seen as the ultimate punk icon, worshiped by many punks! And punk is certainly a youth rebellion movement! So Sid will always be the ultimate punk that many youths will worship! Would Sid be a model for punk youngsters if he was an old, dirty fat man? NO!!! He will always remain a young for fans around the world!
Sid was a junkie who wound up murdering his girlfriend. I've seen loads of young people wearing Sid t-shirts, I've seen loads wearing Charles Manson t-shirts too, and he didn't even die. Young people can be pretty stupid. Keith Richards is a horrible looking alcoholic, a better 'model' for youth. They can see where that lifestyle leads you. You want icons to worship, you need to grow past that.
I wasn't saying that Sid is a good or bad example! I was just talking of his symbolic value! Like others, i used to like Sid in my 14-15's! Of course most go past this when they are mature enough!
I wasn't expressing my opinion on Sid, i was just saying that his symbolic value was complete after his death!
People are not 'symbolic' they are human beings with friends and family, people who really love them. Fans don't love you, they aren't there to care for you when you're sick, or still love you whether you're old and fat or whatever. Fan worship isn't real love, it's conditional love. Your attitude that it's nice when they die young because then they can be like Saints is really selfish. Sid's 'value' is in t-shirt sales. I wonder if his Mom gets any of the money even. Poor woman, that's her baby
Listen you stupid fucking asshole kid. How many musicians and even non-musicians were inspired by rock stars to take drugs and ruin their lives and even die? Of all the iconic rock stars, there are countless also-rans who may have been very talented, even friends with the icons who also died. No one remembers them. . .except their friends and family. If you revere Cobain so much, go ahead and blow your head off. I knew Courtney, she's a twat. Go marry her. Maybe she'll inspire you to suicide.
You have nothing More to say because you had nothing of value to say in the first place, and you've now proved it with your childish playground taunts. I have no opinion of Kurt, never met him, but I'm certainly sorry I met Courtney. You were the one who brought up Sid, not me. All I know is he wasted his life, and now he's a t-shirt icon. If you were a friend or family member of Marc's you'd hate those who held the perspective on his death that it was good because it 'immortalized' him.
And by the way, it didn't really 'immortalize' him that much. He's no Hendrix. He had one world-wide hit. Some (like me) in the US bought all his records and know all his songs, but in general he's a British star only. Anyway, this stupid notion you have of it being good that musicians die to become public icons doesn't take their humanity into account, or the feelings of their loved ones. And that is because you are a stupid kid who sucks shit, so go fuck Yourself.
I think you meant to say hopeless instead of helpless. But you are the one who's clearly hopeless and stupid and missing the point. Have you ever actually met any real famous musicians? You're exactly the kind of fan that makes them sick. Nobody wants to be a dead icon, and nobody's folks want it either. Dorothy nailed it. You're a fucking asswipe fuckface.
Maybe folks at home didn't want their relatives to die in the Battles of Waterloo or Stalingrad, but this battles helped forge and change the world!
How many soldiers died for you and your stupid generation asshole? You are the one who's completely missing the point, thinking low-level but never getting a view on a large scale!
And yeah, i wanted to say hopeless, but I am not a native English speaker, so sorry!
So now you're comparing rock stars killing themselves with drugs or dying in drunken car wrecks to warfare?
Marc had to die to change the world?
You really are the fucktard of the century you clueless twerp. And by the way, you've no idea how many people in my family died on foreign shores, so go fuck yourself to death asswipe.
You must see the movie V for Vendetta...it deals with the same things....
And the ending line is genius: "Nobody will ever forget that night, and what it meant for the country, but i'll never forget the man, and what he meant for me!"
You see, at a low scale, a man is only a man, but at a bigger scale, a man can be a symbol! And a symbol is far more powerful than a man!
If you think Death is so attractive why don't you go to my channel and listen to my song 'Suicide Children'. i wrote it, sang it and played all the guitar parts. My favorite sister died in a car wreck on my 12th birthday. my Step Dad died in my arms 7 years ago, and my beloved ex-girlfriend died of ovarian cancer a year ago, and her mom, whom I loved died just a few months ago. I've seen death. Have you?
One of my High School friends and former band mates drank himself to death 3 years ago. He was a songwriter who never had any success, but loved music. He recorded lots of songs with his band years ago. We were in 3 bands together. I went to see him in the hospital, but he was already in a coma. I taped a guitar pick top his thumb, kissed him on the forehead and said goodbye. Later, his friends and I divided up his albums and guitars as his Mom asked us to.
@ironbuttermilk He made his choice he drank himself 2 death! I am a soldier an have no sympathy this is cold i no but also very fair!! No body cares for the British Soldier who die 4 their country so fuk da ppl who brought it on themself!!!
I've hung out and jammed with Black Flag, Counting Crows and Green Day, to name a few. These are just people. If you'd met rock stars and held someone you loved while they died you'd feel differently about idol worship and death i think. People make a great big deal about famous people, but they are really only people, no different than you really. Blood and bones, not Gods. Sure, they're talented, but mostly Lucky. There's thousands just as talented without being as 'lucky'.
Yes, they may be only normal people for those who met them, but for the crowds that listen to their music they are more, even though they are not gods!
That is merely an effect of Artistic Distance. You put someone on a big stage with lots of lights and a big crowd and suddenly you have an 'event', a big 'shared experience'. You put a song on the radio and people hear it during a certain segment of theri lives and it grows in significance. But it's important to realize that that is a manipulation, an effect of context and added drama. You see a painting at a yard sale. Totally different experience on a wall in a Gallery in lovely lighting.
See beyond the hype and the built up 'Historical Significance' (which record companies are eager to foster) and you see the music's 'intrinsic' value. Lots of artists could make great albums if they had the money, but would they be 'seen' as great without the hype and media attention. It's exposure which creates demand which creates public attachment and 'cultural' value. Really, they're just songs. We make them valuable to us by association.
@ironbuttermilk I have held friend whilst dying during the war in Iraq and Afghan i have held at least 7 and i am a 23 yr old female thinking that my friends deserve more recconision than GREEN DAY an d them othe (I DNT NO WHO THEY R) artists!!!! but Marc is way more special an wil live way after the wars av ended xxxx RIP THE FALLEN HEROS XXXXXX
@BolanBarlow1 In 100 years nobody will remember Green Day either. Fame is only slightly less temporal than our own lives, often farrrr more so. Every single wildly famous star of today will be forgotten, even if their fame lasts a hundred or more years, as I believe the Beatles will, I doubt any but a handful will be remembered as long as Mozart or Bach, and even they have been gone less than 300 years each.
@BolanBarlow1 I do Not consider myself unlucky. Though I have lost many loved-ones, and my life didn't turn out as I wished it, I enjoy each day. I don't complain. Life is Good!
I also think that it doesn't matter in the long run anyway. Oscar Wilde lived to be fat and unattractive, but the most popular pictures of him are by Sarony when he was about 28. Posters and t-shirts of the Beatles sell like crazy even though 2 of them lived to be old. Brilliant musicians become iconic even if they Don't die. Fan worship isn't worth dying for. Your 'icons' would hate you for your attitude. If you ever met a famous artist you'd soon find that out. They're only people, not Gods.
Yes! David Gilmour still lives and i am happy that he does, but the music of Pink Floyd, at least in their prog years, didn't carry this message! Same with The Beatles!
Many psychedelic "stars" died (Jim Morrison, Hendrix, Joplin etc etc etc) but their music had a lot to deal with drugs and hedonism and other things that brought them their death! With punk as well!
Not many classical composers died in their 20's because classical music has nothing to do with popular music philosophies!
What the hell do you mean by 'philosophies'? A drug overdose is not philosophical. Mozart died at 35. Nobody's sure what from. Mussorgsky died from alcoholism by 42. Lennon used heroin, but didn't overdose. These stars you mention. Their music wasn't 'about' the things that killed them, their lifestyle and bad choices contributed to their deaths. I'm afraid you're just some young kid who doesn't know much. Brian Jones was drowned. Keith Relf was electrocuted.
A big percent of psych music is actually ABOUT drugs! And, for the record, music and genres have a lot to do with philosophies! A drug overdose isn't philosophical, but the lifestyle that brought the artists to the point of injecting overdosed drugs has a lot to do with life philosophy!
I am afraid i have listened to more music you will ever hear in your entire life dyke, so keep your narrow-minded opinions for yourself!
It's not Philosophy that leads most musicians to drug use. If you'd met any famous musicians you'd realize that. The Beatles didn't Take LSD at first, it was given to them without their knowledge. Dylan gave them pot. John and George pressured Paul to take acid. Peer pressure, acceptance by others, boredom and pressures from touring. Mozart likely lowered his immune system through partying btw. My point was that decadence and fast living did originate with rock stars.
@Thomaspwgy I do actually feel that 4 Marc if he hD NOT GONE WEN HE DID WUD HE B SUCH AN ICON??? i SAY THIS AS A FAN WHO ALSO SAY I CUD NOT EVEN NAME 1 SINGLE SONG FROM ANY OF THE ABOVE MENTION SO YES I FEEL MARC MAY av lived on as the other u write bout certainly never xx
Marc was a loss to us all. Thirty years ago drinking and driving was not the offence moral or criminal it is today. Met Gloria last year & she was lovely.
I do however have a trusted friend that I have had to confine in because the burden has become too heavy to bear alone. Drinking and then driving is something I would never consider because I never wanted to risk the lives of others. That is plain stupid. She cost his fans 30 years of grief. I lost my best friend and I still think she should own up to the issue and we will all put it bed.
She was tested for alcohol and tested over the limit. Furthermore, at the coroners inquest - she was going to be charged with vehicular manslaughter. She fled the country. I went to the inquest - I heard this with my own ears. As for what Marc would think about the debate of the "woman he loved" it isn't for me to say because I had been told things by MARC that I had promised not to say.
@Wiccansister54 BULL SHIT!!!! REALLY NEVA HEARD SO MUCH SHIT IN MY LIFE I HAVE SEEN WITH MY OWN EYES HIS CASE FILE AND DEATH CERT NOT BEACAUSE I KNEW HIM BUT COZ I GET ACCESS IN MY JOB >>>>> 1 WORD 4 U LIAR, LIAR, LIAR
I miss Marc so much. watching this made me realize that all involved are suffering in some way, even Gloria. If Marc could only hear the way his fans are talking about the woman he loved and his son. His death was not planned. It was two people making a bad choice to get into a car after drinking. Marc chose to get in on his own. Its sad but true.We all make dumb choices. Some with great consequences. Love ya Marc!!
I was so sad I saw it on the news and I am sorry but I am angry she was never tested for alcohol ... I believe she was his down fall ... ok don't hate me please it's just my opinion ... sorry if you dont' like it .. i love this and it's sad and thank you so much for posting it xoxoxoxoxox
oh my god thats so sad!!.. that man was a absolute legdend, i was definatly born to the wrong generation.. how i wish i had been around ta see the full impact of t-rextasy!! xx
I remember well the news of the death of Marc Bolam. I was crazy about T - Rex as a young man. But it was barely a month after the death of the most famous singing star that has yet lived. And in that, it - even now, - seems to pale into insignificance. No disrespect ! Marc was a great entertainer.
Gagia still lives in her denial world, she thinks she can sing. And you are too right about Rolan doesn't have his dad's good looks or talent. I still want to hear the truth. The coroner didn't blame the size of the car for the accident GLORIA!! I was there.
Hi there Wiccansister. I can't beieve that Gloria does hold herself (just a little bit) responsible for Marc's death. Gloria cannot sing. Witnessed her at Shepherds Bush. Don't anyone say it's because she's old. Look at Ella, Frank, etc.
Hi Kido! If her being old was a factor, do you think she was old all her life. HAHA. She sounds like my cat when someone steps on her tail. I just wish I was a mouse in the car that night. I don't think the whole truth will be known because a certain somebody (Gagia) won't "fess up". I spoke to Marc that day...and I made a promise.
U ppl surely dnt buy this shit???? Her brotrher followed her route and of course if he was great mate wif Marc he wud av spoke 2 Gloria after!!!! 2 words BULL SHIT!!!!
I am sure she feels terrible inside. You don't know until you have been there yourself.She had a nice voice in some songs as I remember.But remember Marc chose to get in the car with her and I am sure they both drank a bit.They both made a bad choice. Very sad .
Sorry wiccansister54 . I am sorry for your pain. I mean it!! But I am hurt too and confused by this whole thing. So many stories I don't know what's true and what's not. I'm sure I am not alone.
I would tell the truth the best of my knowledge. I apologize for my banter. All this has me grinding my teeth! I know the pain his fans have felt. Although mine is deeper for reasons I don't go into. Trust me if it wasn't true, I wouldn't say a thing about her. We all burdens to bear through life...my mine had curly hair and I still grieve.
Really, who gives a F..K who you know and who you dont know? You obviously didnt know him that well cos you keep slagging the women he loved off. And as for saying Gloria Jones cant sing , for me that shows how little you do know. `Hey everybody i knew Marc, i knew Marc´get over yourself muppet.
Actually she had a nice voice in my opinion and Rolan is not not trying to be his dad. I think he has a unique voice of his own.he don't look like Marc , so what? I am sure Marc would think his son was handsome.You don't have to attack them because your hurt he is gone.
@Wiccansister54 U r mental 2 petend 2 b a family friend who knows inside detail!! Y would a coroner even care of the size of a car???? I am a crimonologist an can 100% tell u they wud neva even know the car size wen detremining cause of death
I LOVE Marc Bolan and today it still hurts he is gone. Even if Gloria was drinking I am sure they both were. Marc is an adult who chose to get in a car with someone who was drinking. I bet everyone on here pointing fingers has drove after drinking once or twice They both made a bad choice. Humans screw up.Enough pain, time to heal now.

Marc was superb.
He was the true King of Pop. He formed the grooviest guitar licks on "Ride a white swan" & "Get It On". I had a huge poster of Marc on my wall in 1972...i think it came with the "Electric Warrior" LP.

Even if she was drinking, I'm sure they'd done it before and Marc would have had no issues with it. Before the late 80s it was pretty common for people to drive home with a few drinks in them. It's just one of those unfortunate accidents.

It's too bad so many people have such hate for Gloria. I've read that she was after his money, tried to control him. Anyone who knew Marc knows that nobody could control him. Why would Gloria still be on good terms with his family if they blamed her for his death? And look what she's doing with her life now. Does that seems like a materialistic, cold person? I'm sure she feels guilty about driving the car, would'nt you?

Your father is not an idol, his personal relationship to you is much deeper and more real. You begin by looking up to him, then rebel, and maybe even look down on him in teen years, and eventually learn to value him more deeply and more maturely in adulthood. The relationship evolves over time. It isn't hero worship.

I always believed that an artist becomes more of a legend after their death! What would have been Sid Vicious without his death? Or Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain????? If he lived now, he would have probably been an old fool, trying to get into music again like Sex Pistols now do, or other bands of old men!
Thomaspwgy 3 years ago
What a fucked up attitude. You want artists to die for you to preserve their glamour? You think older artists are all pathetic. . better off dead? Fucking asshole!
Bands of 'old men' have made great music. BB King, for one is still playing beautifully.
You are one shallow, pathetic asshole.
ironbuttermilk 2 years ago
You are clueless!
I don't want artists to die FOR ME!!!
It's the idea that an artist reaches his spiritual peak through death! Sid Vicious was seen as the ultimate punk icon, worshiped by many punks! And punk is certainly a youth rebellion movement! So Sid will always be the ultimate punk that many youths will worship! Would Sid be a model for punk youngsters if he was an old, dirty fat man? NO!!! He will always remain a young for fans around the world!
Thomaspwgy 2 years ago
Sid was a junkie who wound up murdering his girlfriend. I've seen loads of young people wearing Sid t-shirts, I've seen loads wearing Charles Manson t-shirts too, and he didn't even die. Young people can be pretty stupid. Keith Richards is a horrible looking alcoholic, a better 'model' for youth. They can see where that lifestyle leads you. You want icons to worship, you need to grow past that.
sSurrenderDorothy 2 years ago
I wasn't saying that Sid is a good or bad example! I was just talking of his symbolic value! Like others, i used to like Sid in my 14-15's! Of course most go past this when they are mature enough!
I wasn't expressing my opinion on Sid, i was just saying that his symbolic value was complete after his death!
Thomaspwgy 2 years ago
People are not 'symbolic' they are human beings with friends and family, people who really love them. Fans don't love you, they aren't there to care for you when you're sick, or still love you whether you're old and fat or whatever. Fan worship isn't real love, it's conditional love. Your attitude that it's nice when they die young because then they can be like Saints is really selfish. Sid's 'value' is in t-shirt sales. I wonder if his Mom gets any of the money even. Poor woman, that's her baby
sSurrenderDorothy 2 years ago
And you are narrow-minded thinking at this low level!
He may be a human being! But after all a symbol has more significance and power than flesh and bones, and can defy time itself!
But of course, you are too busy thinking about Sid's mom, a stupid junkie that learned poor Sid how to do drugs in his teens!
Thomaspwgy 2 years ago
Listen you stupid fucking asshole kid. How many musicians and even non-musicians were inspired by rock stars to take drugs and ruin their lives and even die? Of all the iconic rock stars, there are countless also-rans who may have been very talented, even friends with the icons who also died. No one remembers them. . .except their friends and family. If you revere Cobain so much, go ahead and blow your head off. I knew Courtney, she's a twat. Go marry her. Maybe she'll inspire you to suicide.

You have nothing More to say because you had nothing of value to say in the first place, and you've now proved it with your childish playground taunts. I have no opinion of Kurt, never met him, but I'm certainly sorry I met Courtney. You were the one who brought up Sid, not me. All I know is he wasted his life, and now he's a t-shirt icon. If you were a friend or family member of Marc's you'd hate those who held the perspective on his death that it was good because it 'immortalized' him.
sSurrenderDorothy 2 years ago
And by the way, it didn't really 'immortalize' him that much. He's no Hendrix. He had one world-wide hit. Some (like me) in the US bought all his records and know all his songs, but in general he's a British star only. Anyway, this stupid notion you have of it being good that musicians die to become public icons doesn't take their humanity into account, or the feelings of their loved ones. And that is because you are a stupid kid who sucks shit, so go fuck Yourself.

One of my High School friends and former band mates drank himself to death 3 years ago. He was a songwriter who never had any success, but loved music. He recorded lots of songs with his band years ago. We were in 3 bands together. I went to see him in the hospital, but he was already in a coma. I taped a guitar pick top his thumb, kissed him on the forehead and said goodbye. Later, his friends and I divided up his albums and guitars as his Mom asked us to.

I've hung out and jammed with Black Flag, Counting Crows and Green Day, to name a few. These are just people. If you'd met rock stars and held someone you loved while they died you'd feel differently about idol worship and death i think. People make a great big deal about famous people, but they are really only people, no different than you really. Blood and bones, not Gods. Sure, they're talented, but mostly Lucky. There's thousands just as talented without being as 'lucky'.
ironbuttermilk 2 years ago
Yes, they may be only normal people for those who met them, but for the crowds that listen to their music they are more, even though they are not gods!

That is merely an effect of Artistic Distance. You put someone on a big stage with lots of lights and a big crowd and suddenly you have an 'event', a big 'shared experience'. You put a song on the radio and people hear it during a certain segment of theri lives and it grows in significance. But it's important to realize that that is a manipulation, an effect of context and added drama. You see a painting at a yard sale. Totally different experience on a wall in a Gallery in lovely lighting.
ironbuttermilk 2 years ago 3
See beyond the hype and the built up 'Historical Significance' (which record companies are eager to foster) and you see the music's 'intrinsic' value. Lots of artists could make great albums if they had the money, but would they be 'seen' as great without the hype and media attention. It's exposure which creates demand which creates public attachment and 'cultural' value. Really, they're just songs. We make them valuable to us by association.

@BolanBarlow1 In 100 years nobody will remember Green Day either. Fame is only slightly less temporal than our own lives, often farrrr more so. Every single wildly famous star of today will be forgotten, even if their fame lasts a hundred or more years, as I believe the Beatles will, I doubt any but a handful will be remembered as long as Mozart or Bach, and even they have been gone less than 300 years each.

I also think that it doesn't matter in the long run anyway. Oscar Wilde lived to be fat and unattractive, but the most popular pictures of him are by Sarony when he was about 28. Posters and t-shirts of the Beatles sell like crazy even though 2 of them lived to be old. Brilliant musicians become iconic even if they Don't die. Fan worship isn't worth dying for. Your 'icons' would hate you for your attitude. If you ever met a famous artist you'd soon find that out. They're only people, not Gods.
sSurrenderDorothy 2 years ago
Yes! David Gilmour still lives and i am happy that he does, but the music of Pink Floyd, at least in their prog years, didn't carry this message! Same with The Beatles!
Many psychedelic "stars" died (Jim Morrison, Hendrix, Joplin etc etc etc) but their music had a lot to deal with drugs and hedonism and other things that brought them their death! With punk as well!
Not many classical composers died in their 20's because classical music has nothing to do with popular music philosophies!
Thomaspwgy 2 years ago
What the hell do you mean by 'philosophies'? A drug overdose is not philosophical. Mozart died at 35. Nobody's sure what from. Mussorgsky died from alcoholism by 42. Lennon used heroin, but didn't overdose. These stars you mention. Their music wasn't 'about' the things that killed them, their lifestyle and bad choices contributed to their deaths. I'm afraid you're just some young kid who doesn't know much. Brian Jones was drowned. Keith Relf was electrocuted.
sSurrenderDorothy 2 years ago
Your seem one of great stupidity!
A big percent of psych music is actually ABOUT drugs! And, for the record, music and genres have a lot to do with philosophies! A drug overdose isn't philosophical, but the lifestyle that brought the artists to the point of injecting overdosed drugs has a lot to do with life philosophy!
I am afraid i have listened to more music you will ever hear in your entire life dyke, so keep your narrow-minded opinions for yourself!
Thomaspwgy 2 years ago
It's not Philosophy that leads most musicians to drug use. If you'd met any famous musicians you'd realize that. The Beatles didn't Take LSD at first, it was given to them without their knowledge. Dylan gave them pot. John and George pressured Paul to take acid. Peer pressure, acceptance by others, boredom and pressures from touring. Mozart likely lowered his immune system through partying btw. My point was that decadence and fast living did originate with rock stars.

She was tested for alcohol and tested over the limit. Furthermore, at the coroners inquest - she was going to be charged with vehicular manslaughter. She fled the country. I went to the inquest - I heard this with my own ears. As for what Marc would think about the debate of the "woman he loved" it isn't for me to say because I had been told things by MARC that I had promised not to say.

I would tell the truth the best of my knowledge. I apologize for my banter. All this has me grinding my teeth! I know the pain his fans have felt. Although mine is deeper for reasons I don't go into. Trust me if it wasn't true, I wouldn't say a thing about her. We all burdens to bear through life...my mine had curly hair and I still grieve.

Really, who gives a F..K who you know and who you dont know? You obviously didnt know him that well cos you keep slagging the women he loved off. And as for saying Gloria Jones cant sing , for me that shows how little you do know. `Hey everybody i knew Marc, i knew Marc´get over yourself muppet.

Actually she had a nice voice in my opinion and Rolan is not not trying to be his dad. I think he has a unique voice of his own.he don't look like Marc , so what? I am sure Marc would think his son was handsome.You don't have to attack them because your hurt he is gone.

I LOVE Marc Bolan and today it still hurts he is gone. Even if Gloria was drinking I am sure they both were. Marc is an adult who chose to get in a car with someone who was drinking. I bet everyone on here pointing fingers has drove after drinking once or twice They both made a bad choice. Humans screw up.Enough pain, time to heal now.

OMG at 3:24 you can see a chunk of Marc's hair caught in the wreckage of the car. Ripped right out of his scalp. Poor, poor darling baby Marc.
