00:00:29,784 --> 00:00:31,327
- [Marc] He came from the past,
5
00:00:33,412 --> 00:00:35,915
his frozen eyes had known
our planet's childhood,
6
00:00:36,749 --> 00:00:39,085
his acts to his heart by leads of love.
7
00:00:40,044 --> 00:00:42,838
With one soulful wail a
thousand mean ones were burned
8
00:00:44,715 --> 00:00:47,468
and in turn and jive on into my songs,
9
00:00:48,678 --> 00:00:50,346
for his name as Electric Warrior.
10
00:00:52,974 --> 00:00:56,727

(people chattering)
12
00:01:05,820 --> 00:01:09,824
- I went to this festival,
it was in August '71,
13
00:01:09,824 --> 00:01:14,036
there's like a 175,000
people were attending.
14
00:01:14,036 --> 00:01:17,957
And in the afternoon, the compare, the MC,
15
00:01:17,957 --> 00:01:21,043
was kind of saying who was
gonna come on later that night.
16
00:01:21,085 --> 00:01:23,045
We're gonna have "The Faces,"
17
00:01:23,045 --> 00:01:25,798
and the whole audience just went, "yay!"
18
00:01:25,798 --> 00:01:27,842
You know, just "yay, The Faces!"
19
00:01:27,842 --> 00:01:32,388
And then we're gonna have
"T-Rex" and the whole audience,
20
00:01:32,388 --> 00:01:36,309
175,000 people got up and booed.
21
00:01:37,476 --> 00:01:39,353
I've never heard that before.
22
00:01:40,771 --> 00:01:43,774

00:02:25,399 --> 00:02:27,610

00:02:27,610 --> 00:02:29,362
The Faces come on, kick the footballs out,
33
00:02:29,362 --> 00:02:30,863
everybody goes crazy.
34
00:02:31,864 --> 00:02:34,116
Couple of hours later, Marc Bolan comes on
35
00:02:34,158 --> 00:02:36,494
near midnight or something,
36
00:02:36,494 --> 00:02:39,455
the whole audience gets
up and starts booing.
37
00:02:39,455 --> 00:02:41,624
You know the whole
audience, I'm not kidding.
38
00:02:41,624 --> 00:02:44,752
I mean, we are just going
like, what's he gonna do?
39
00:02:44,752 --> 00:02:46,128
You know, I'd never seen this before.
40
00:02:46,128 --> 00:02:50,633
I'd never really seen 175,000
people booing at someone.
41
00:02:50,633 --> 00:02:52,218
(crowd booing)
42
00:02:52,218 --> 00:02:55,930
Marc walked up to the
microphone and said, "fuck off!"
43
00:02:58,015 --> 00:03:00,267
Walked back to his amp, turned it up.
44
00:03:00,267 --> 00:03:03,562
The whole audience sat down and shut up.
45
00:03:03,562 --> 00:03:06,524
I couldn't believe, I mean,
well this is incredible!
46
00:03:06,524 --> 00:03:08,776
So he starts the performance.
47
00:03:08,776 --> 00:03:11,779
(lively rock music)
48
00:03:23,207 --> 00:03:28,212

♪ Get it on, bang a gong, get it on ♪
50
00:03:38,180 --> 00:03:40,933
He did over an hour performance
51
00:03:40,933 --> 00:03:42,351
and there was like an extra 10 minutes,
52
00:03:42,351 --> 00:03:45,104
he was battering guitar with
a couple of tambourines,
53
00:03:45,104 --> 00:03:48,649
which I'm thinking, "what's
gonna happen at the end?"
54
00:03:48,649 --> 00:03:51,235
(guitar music)
55
00:03:53,154 --> 00:03:56,449
What's gonna happen when he finishes it?
56
00:03:56,449 --> 00:03:59,869
(guitar music continues)
57
00:04:06,167 --> 00:04:09,086
- Rock on!
(crowd cheers)
58
00:04:09,086 --> 00:04:10,421
- The audience got up
59
00:04:10,421 --> 00:04:13,215
and gave him a 15 minute standing ovation.
60
00:04:13,215 --> 00:04:15,134
I've never seen anything like that.
61
00:04:15,134 --> 00:04:17,762
You know, in a way he saw a
little bit of a punk attitude
62
00:04:17,762 --> 00:04:20,723
right there in 1971.
63
00:04:20,723 --> 00:04:25,728

65
00:04:34,653 --> 00:04:36,530
- [Hol] Da, da, da (laughs) you know.
66
00:04:36,530 --> 00:04:37,740
(lively guitar music)
67
00:04:37,740 --> 00:04:38,657
- Yeah.
68
00:04:38,657 --> 00:04:41,243
- That was the basic structure change,
69
00:04:41,285 --> 00:04:42,953
was like, do you want to real, you know,
70
00:04:42,953 --> 00:04:44,538
you wanna keep the song rolling?
71
00:04:45,498 --> 00:04:47,166
- Right, so the, uh...
72
00:04:47,166 --> 00:04:49,919
going back to the E and just
holding for like two extra bars
73
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:53,005
in the, in between each-
74
00:04:53,005 --> 00:04:55,132
- Yeah, one-
- Between, before each verse.
75
00:04:55,132 --> 00:04:57,259
- There needs to be, "you're my girl."
76
00:04:57,259 --> 00:05:00,262
(lively rock music)
77
00:05:10,773 --> 00:05:12,233

85
00:05:32,711 --> 00:05:34,505

00:05:50,521 --> 00:05:54,567

drama and much more spooky.
89
00:05:54,567 --> 00:05:55,401
- Yeah.
90
00:05:55,401 --> 00:05:57,069
- And I think you gotta have the sexy,
91
00:05:57,069 --> 00:05:58,279
but then you have to have it spooky.
92
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,532
Wanna do something a little
more, even more whispered,
93
00:06:01,532 --> 00:06:02,700

important historic artist,
97
00:06:20,259 --> 00:06:21,468
he's also one of the great
98
00:06:21,468 --> 00:06:22,928
songwriters of that era, you know?
99
00:06:22,928 --> 00:06:24,555
And that's the fun thing
100
00:06:24,555 --> 00:06:27,683
about this "Angelheaded Hipster" album
101
00:06:27,683 --> 00:06:29,518
is that you get to hear his songs
102
00:06:29,518 --> 00:06:32,646
and how great they were
lyrically and musically.
103
00:06:32,646 --> 00:06:34,940

- Hey, how are ya, Al?
108
00:07:01,508 --> 00:07:05,596
- What I believed was
we were going to explore
109
00:07:05,596 --> 00:07:09,350
Marc Bolan as a composer, as a songwriter,
110
00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:11,644
where he's never gotten his due.
111
00:07:11,644 --> 00:07:16,649
He's gotten his due as a
rocker with cool grooves.
112
00:07:17,107 --> 00:07:19,777
You listen back to those
songs and they are deep.
113
00:07:21,987 --> 00:07:24,573
No, I'm just trying to
listen, excuse me a second,
114
00:07:24,573 --> 00:07:27,868

116
00:07:30,412 --> 00:07:32,039
Trying to make a "a happening,"
117
00:07:32,039 --> 00:07:33,916
as they used to say in the sixties.
118
00:07:34,792 --> 00:07:37,002

was one thing only.
122
00:07:47,513 --> 00:07:52,184
I liked the music of Bolan years ago,
123
00:07:52,184 --> 00:07:56,230
but I felt that he
deserved universal acclaim
124
00:07:56,230 --> 00:08:00,275
and to be recognised
for who he really was.

His life was cut short,
as a lot of people's,
128
00:08:08,117 --> 00:08:11,328
but he didn't achieve
the acclaim and the fame
129
00:08:11,328 --> 00:08:13,706
that Jimi Hendrix did before he died.
130
00:08:14,540 --> 00:08:16,041
He was on the cusp of that.
131
00:08:16,041 --> 00:08:20,713
And I just felt, well, how
about trying to get people
132
00:08:20,713 --> 00:08:24,049
to really see just how
good his songs were,
133
00:08:24,049 --> 00:08:25,551

♪ Metal guru, is that you ♪
135
00:08:29,221 --> 00:08:32,474
- He was the pioneer of
the glam rock movement
136
00:08:32,474 --> 00:08:34,768
and inspired people like me and Bowie.
137
00:08:34,768 --> 00:08:36,770
- He brought glitter to the masses
138
00:08:36,770 --> 00:08:39,231
and I thought, "no, he's
done it, he's done it!
139
00:08:39,231 --> 00:08:41,233
"He's done it first!"
140

(speaking foreign language)
141
00:08:42,818 --> 00:08:47,322
- The music of T-Rex,
the music of Marc Bolan
142
00:08:47,322 --> 00:08:51,410
leaves so much room for your own fantasy.
143
00:08:51,702 --> 00:08:53,620
- He was so ahead of his time, Marc.
144
00:08:53,746 --> 00:08:56,457
He was the first person to
wear mascara and glitter
145
00:08:56,457 --> 00:08:58,667
and, you know, really camp it up.
146
00:08:58,667 --> 00:09:01,336
- I feel exactly the same.
147
00:09:01,336 --> 00:09:06,091
Marc was the the first guy
he was so loved in England,
148
00:09:06,091 --> 00:09:07,342
you know what I mean?
149
00:09:07,342 --> 00:09:11,138
The music he was playing was relevant.
150
00:09:11,138 --> 00:09:12,639
- [Interviewer] I've been
reading recently Marc,
151
00:09:12,639 --> 00:09:14,808
an article which suggests that you are
152
00:09:14,808 --> 00:09:16,602
the successor to the Beatles.
153
00:09:16,602 --> 00:09:18,312
That you, in fact, claim
that you're a successor
154
00:09:18,312 --> 00:09:19,938
of The Beatles.
- I never said that.
155
00:09:19,938 --> 00:09:21,148
- [Interviewer] You didn't say that?
156
00:09:21,148 --> 00:09:21,982
- No way.
157
00:09:21,982 --> 00:09:23,400
- Do you have in your mind any intentions-
158
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,234
- [Marc] They said that.
159
00:09:24,234 --> 00:09:25,360
- They said that, okay.
160
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,112
- Five years ago it was the Beatles.
161
00:09:27,112 --> 00:09:29,031
This last five years it's been T-Rex.
162
00:09:29,031 --> 00:09:31,700
We played for the kids
that never saw the Beatles,
163
00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:33,619
never saw Jimi Hendrix.
164
00:09:33,619 --> 00:09:36,663
They're seeing us as those
sort of people, you know,
165
00:09:36,663 --> 00:09:38,457
because they never saw,
they weren't around then.

00:15:07,869 --> 00:15:09,329
- Uh, I'm still waiting to feel different,
235
00:15:09,329 --> 00:15:11,123
but I'm still wanting
to grow up, you know,
236
00:15:11,123 --> 00:15:12,457
and I haven't done that yet.
237
00:15:12,457 --> 00:15:15,419
No, it's lovely, I helped
deliver the baby as well.
238
00:15:15,419 --> 00:15:16,753
It's called Roland Bolan.

'cause it looks like me.

So it was really, it's an amazing thing.
242
00:15:22,801 --> 00:15:24,052
Just a miracle, I reckon.

00:15:47,325 --> 00:15:50,537
he knew everything that
he was going to do in life
250

to accomplish in life,
251

252
00:15:57,169 --> 00:16:00,547
His reaction was that the
best thing that happened
253
00:16:00,547 --> 00:16:04,217
for him in his life was
that Roland was born.

was a better lyric writer

than like Bowie and some of
these people of that time
261
00:16:45,467 --> 00:16:47,177
that people considered to be
262
00:16:48,678 --> 00:16:50,972
kind of deeper writers
or something like that.
263
00:16:52,849 --> 00:16:55,560
(stammers) it was the use of language
264
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,812
and the use of imagery.

The production of that particular record
266
00:17:00,565 --> 00:17:02,859

267
00:17:02,859 --> 00:17:07,322
and these very simple but
complex words at the same time.
268
00:17:07,322 --> 00:17:08,865

kind of seemed to invent a
kind of language with his songs
272
00:17:22,420 --> 00:17:26,633
that really, that was perfected
on that particular record.
273
00:17:29,135 --> 00:17:32,722
A kind of way of using words and images
274
00:17:32,722 --> 00:17:36,142
that I think is entirely unique.
275
00:17:36,142 --> 00:17:38,478
And slowing "Cosmic Dancer" down a bit,
276
00:17:39,563 --> 00:17:41,106

together while they were on tour.
304
00:19:14,449 --> 00:19:16,868
It was around the time of, I think it was
305
00:19:16,868 --> 00:19:20,121

309
00:19:25,835 --> 00:19:28,296

corporation they called it,

00:19:28,296 --> 00:19:30,674
where she would write, you know
she wrote for Gladys Knight.
311
00:19:30,674 --> 00:19:32,550

312
00:19:32,550 --> 00:19:34,803

350
00:21:14,903 --> 00:21:16,154

this glittery jackets,

00:21:22,911 --> 00:21:26,039
he had glitter his cheeks and
red shoes that were women's,
354
00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:27,665
I found out, and a feather boa.
355
00:21:27,665 --> 00:21:30,919
And he's just chopping away on Les Paul,
356
00:21:30,919 --> 00:21:35,048
and we just got colour TV from '71 to '74,
357
00:21:35,048 --> 00:21:39,344
Sweet, Slayed, Bowie, T-Rex,
Wizard, Mot, Queen,
358
00:21:39,344 --> 00:21:41,179
everybody trying to outdo
each other with colours.
359
00:21:41,179 --> 00:21:43,890
But let's be honest,
Bolan was the first one
360
00:21:43,890 --> 00:21:46,518
to actually step out there
and really take advantage
361
00:21:46,518 --> 00:21:50,104
of what colour TV could do to teenage kids.

366
00:22:06,621 --> 00:22:09,958
- You have to remember,
Marc was this explosion
367
00:22:09,958 --> 00:22:13,169
of extraordinary imagination, fantasy.
368
00:22:13,169 --> 00:22:16,548
And he lived in this world of
elves and goblins and stuff,
369
00:22:16,548 --> 00:22:19,217
but actually he was really
coming from East London
370
00:22:19,217 --> 00:22:21,594
and he probably wrote
that on the tube coming in
371
00:22:21,594 --> 00:22:24,055
and you know, somehow
it was all in his head.
372

that sound of that record.
375
00:22:32,939 --> 00:22:36,609
I knew that he was riffing
on old rock and roll.
376
00:22:36,609 --> 00:22:39,320
I knew something was going
on with the guitar sound
377
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,198
and with his singing and their songwriting
378
00:22:42,198 --> 00:22:44,242
that was kind of avant garde.
379
00:22:45,743 --> 00:22:48,246
- The androgynous look
of the early seventies
380
00:22:48,246 --> 00:22:52,584
to me as a kid from Sheffield,
me and my soul brothers,
381
00:22:52,584 --> 00:22:54,627
who I'm still tight with now,
382
00:22:54,627 --> 00:22:56,421
were probably the only half a dozen people
383
00:22:56,421 --> 00:22:58,673
that I know that didn't care.
384
00:22:58,673 --> 00:23:01,301
We didn't go round beating up people
385
00:23:01,301 --> 00:23:03,553
because they liked The Partridge Family.
386
00:23:03,553 --> 00:23:06,890
But we regularly got beaten
up for liking Bowie and Bolan
387
00:23:06,890 --> 00:23:09,017
because he's a fucking puff.
388
00:23:09,017 --> 00:23:10,727
And that's the way it was portrayed.
389
00:23:10,727 --> 00:23:12,687
You know, it's like I
didn't see like that.
390
00:23:12,687 --> 00:23:15,189
I saw him as being theatrical.
391
00:23:15,189 --> 00:23:17,066
I saw him as being artistic
392
00:23:17,066 --> 00:23:19,319
and I saw him as standing
out from the crowd
393
00:23:19,319 --> 00:23:22,614
and not looking like Tony
Orlando or Donny Osmond.
394
00:23:22,614 --> 00:23:26,075
- Certainly there's been a
change in England in two years
395
00:23:26,075 --> 00:23:27,619
and we are part of the change.
396
00:23:27,619 --> 00:23:29,454
I mean, guys now can wear makeup.

I'm now a famous person, but two years ago
398
00:23:31,664 --> 00:23:35,460
I couldn't have done, and I
can even swear a little bit

408
00:24:29,472 --> 00:24:33,226
there was like certain
people that were really sexy
409
00:24:33,226 --> 00:24:36,020
when you were little and
you didn't understand why.
410

And it was Marc Bolan was like, yeah.
411

He was like, I didn't understand
what it was he was doing,
412
00:24:43,319 --> 00:24:45,655
but it was just like whatever that is
413

and little girls don't like big hairy men.
418
00:25:00,586 --> 00:25:05,425
A younger girl would like a
male that is not threatening.
419
00:25:05,425 --> 00:25:09,262
The age was 11 to 13,
probably down to nine.

talk about your new record
422
00:25:13,683 --> 00:25:15,226
"20th century Boy."
423
00:25:15,226 --> 00:25:16,894
What's the story behind it?
424
00:25:16,894 --> 00:25:20,481
- [Marc] Lyrically the
content is erection rock.
425
00:25:20,523 --> 00:25:21,983
And I consider that every young male
426
00:25:21,983 --> 00:25:24,777
in the 20th century
thinks he's a super stud
427
00:25:24,777 --> 00:25:26,446
and the records made for him.
428
00:25:26,446 --> 00:25:28,656
- [Interviewer] You described
it as your best ever.
429
00:25:28,656 --> 00:25:29,490
- [Marc] I never did that.
430
00:25:29,490 --> 00:25:30,867
You read that I described it-
431
00:25:30,867 --> 00:25:31,784
- [Interviewer] Well, I read it in-
432
00:25:31,784 --> 00:25:32,827
- [Marc] Yeah well, you're down spoken.
433
00:25:32,827 --> 00:25:33,911
Yeah, right.
434
00:25:33,911 --> 00:25:35,121
- [Interviewer] isn't true that you said
435
00:25:35,121 --> 00:25:36,247
that this record is-
- [Marc] No.
436
00:25:36,247 --> 00:25:39,876
What I said is I think it's
a funky sound is what I said.
437
00:25:42,170 --> 00:25:43,004
- That was huge, you know,
438
00:25:43,004 --> 00:25:45,089
there's that on the telly and you're like,
439
00:25:45,089 --> 00:25:48,593
"oh, what the fuck is that?" (laughs)
440
00:25:48,593 --> 00:25:50,178

442
00:25:52,972 --> 00:25:54,974
- Eyeliner I think is
still a political act,
443
00:25:54,974 --> 00:25:57,769
you know, in some places.
444
00:25:57,769 --> 00:26:01,814
It was playing with gender,
it was playing with power.
445
00:26:01,814 --> 00:26:03,483
Gender is power.

00:29:06,958 --> 00:29:07,792
- But he's really a nice person.
523
00:29:07,792 --> 00:29:09,710
- But what is it about him that makes you
524
00:29:09,752 --> 00:29:12,922
so terribly excited for such a long time?
525
00:29:12,922 --> 00:29:14,173
- Everything.
526
00:29:14,173 --> 00:29:17,009
He's so good looking and his
music and the way he dresses,
527
00:29:17,009 --> 00:29:18,636
the way he acts, everything.
528
00:29:18,636 --> 00:29:20,513
- And you're not at all
deterred by the fact
529
00:29:20,513 --> 00:29:23,057
that he has a wife and
a mistress and a baby?
530
00:29:23,057 --> 00:29:25,601
- Well, we put up with it.
(both giggle)
531
00:29:25,601 --> 00:29:27,144

532

'cause we care about him.
533
00:29:28,521 --> 00:29:32,525

It always had some feeling of sex in there

00:30:29,749 --> 00:30:31,625

of the first rock artistes
551
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,756
who got into the bisexual treatment.
552
00:30:36,756 --> 00:30:38,341

(both laugh)

00:30:38,341 --> 00:30:39,383

really bisexual, I gather?

many things in my life.

I think, you know, as a child,
557
00:30:45,931 --> 00:30:47,683

559

but I happen to like titties
562

go more towards women,

We actually met very
early on in the sixties
577
00:31:45,741 --> 00:31:49,245
before either of us were
even a tadpole known.
578
00:31:49,245 --> 00:31:50,329
We were nothing.
579
00:31:50,329 --> 00:31:53,999
We were just two nothing
kids with huge ambitions.
580
00:31:53,999 --> 00:31:56,544
And we both had the
same manager at the time
581
00:31:56,544 --> 00:31:58,629
and we met each other, firstly,
582
00:31:58,629 --> 00:32:02,633
painting the wall of our
then manager's office.

595
00:32:26,615 --> 00:32:28,284
for the annual IMBEX,
596
00:32:28,284 --> 00:32:32,163
International Men's and
Boy's exhibition Olympia.
597
00:32:32,163 --> 00:32:33,497
And that's where we first met.
598
00:32:33,497 --> 00:32:34,999
- He'd been in all the magazines.
599
00:32:34,999 --> 00:32:35,833
He was it.
600
00:32:35,833 --> 00:32:37,668
He wore the best suits and at 14
601
00:32:37,668 --> 00:32:39,837
he'd been on the streets
like looking cool.
602
00:32:39,837 --> 00:32:40,921
Very young mod.
603
00:32:40,921 --> 00:32:44,550
Mark Feld within that year
changed his name to Marc Bolan
604
00:32:44,550 --> 00:32:47,636
and Marc taught me a very,
very important thing in life
605
00:32:47,636 --> 00:32:49,305
that in Carnaby Street in those days
606
00:32:49,305 --> 00:32:51,682
they'd throw away anything
that didn't have a button on
607
00:32:51,682 --> 00:32:53,559
or there was a tear or something.
608
00:32:53,559 --> 00:32:55,519
They put it in the dust bins at night.
609
00:32:55,519 --> 00:32:58,189
So if you hit Carnaby
Street about eight o'clock
610
00:32:58,189 --> 00:33:01,233
you could get a full wardrobe
just out the dust bins.
611
00:33:01,233 --> 00:33:03,319
And so I, bless Marc,
612
00:33:03,319 --> 00:33:06,238

"oh yeah, it's a love song."
661
00:35:56,033 --> 00:35:58,786
But it's funny actually,
you know, singing his words,
662
00:35:58,786 --> 00:36:00,037
singing someone else's words.
663
00:36:00,037 --> 00:36:01,288
'Cause when you sing your own song,
664
00:36:01,288 --> 00:36:04,124
you like every line
has a different meaning
665
00:36:04,124 --> 00:36:05,751
and you sort of play with that.
666
00:36:05,751 --> 00:36:07,753
And today I had that with his song.
667
00:36:07,753 --> 00:36:09,046

668
00:36:09,046 --> 00:36:10,589

673
00:36:20,432 --> 00:36:24,520
- When I was just getting
into Marc Bolan about 1970,
674
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,856
I'd read that he had
this book of poems out.
675
00:36:27,856 --> 00:36:30,484
So I went to my local
library and they had it.
676
00:36:30,484 --> 00:36:34,071
So I took it out and I spent
three weeks copying it out
677
00:36:34,071 --> 00:36:36,407
word for word into an exercise book.
678
00:36:36,407 --> 00:36:39,743
I still got that at home
next to a proper copy now.
679
00:36:39,743 --> 00:36:41,161
There they are.
680
00:36:41,203 --> 00:36:43,372
The version I wrote out is
like an 11 year old kid.
681
00:36:43,372 --> 00:36:44,873
Every single poem.
682
00:36:44,873 --> 00:36:47,334
And I'm telling you, what
head have you got on today?
683
00:36:47,334 --> 00:36:48,168
Because as you're writing 'em out
684
00:36:48,168 --> 00:36:49,378
and you're reading 'em going,
685
00:36:49,378 --> 00:36:50,796
"oh this is weird."
686
00:36:50,796 --> 00:36:55,175
It was old Tolkien esque stuff
and it was, it was just mad.
687
00:36:55,217 --> 00:36:57,594
I just love the fact that
he was full of expression
688
00:36:57,594 --> 00:37:00,305
but he just went off and
didn't matter what it was.
689
00:37:00,305 --> 00:37:03,183
About lions or dragons
or grass or mushrooms.
690
00:37:03,183 --> 00:37:05,602
It was just off with the fairies, really.
691
00:37:05,602 --> 00:37:07,646

709
00:37:51,064 --> 00:37:52,775
you know, he'd be number
one in the charts.
710
00:37:52,775 --> 00:37:54,735
But the big thing was
711
00:37:54,735 --> 00:37:57,654
he was the biggest selling poet in Britain
712
00:37:57,654 --> 00:37:59,239
and he loved that.
713
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,534
- Well right now there's a group
called "Tyrannosaurus Rex."
714
00:38:02,534 --> 00:38:04,828
Marc Bolan is the, well there
are only two in the group
715
00:38:04,828 --> 00:38:07,706
but Marc Bolan is the singer
and he was with John's children
716
00:38:07,706 --> 00:38:10,375
who released a number of records
and Marc decided to go out
717
00:38:10,375 --> 00:38:12,920
and form his own little
group, just the two of them.
718
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,715
And he sings very gentle,
soft little songs.
719
00:38:16,715 --> 00:38:19,176
And one of them is playing
right now in the background
720
00:38:19,176 --> 00:38:20,010
and it's very beautiful.
721
00:38:20,010 --> 00:38:22,262

with his guitar and act
out Elvis fantasies.
728
00:38:39,071 --> 00:38:43,283
So I think he was born to be
this, to be what he became.
729
00:38:43,283 --> 00:38:46,703

He had a 12 quid guitar,

00:39:12,187 --> 00:39:15,107

739

I believe in the tree
spirit and I have Scenescof
747
00:39:34,543 --> 00:39:37,796
and Scenescof is, I suppose,
very much like Sauron
748
00:39:37,796 --> 00:39:38,672
in Lord of the Rings.
749
00:39:38,672 --> 00:39:41,717
He's sort of an arch villain
that I use all the bad things.
750
00:39:41,717 --> 00:39:44,928
I lay it all on Scenescof so I can use him

- It's not so easy to
766
00:41:36,581 --> 00:41:38,750
be vulnerable around people you don't know
767
00:41:38,750 --> 00:41:41,920
and in a space that you're not used to.
768
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,673
And so the challenge becomes
how can I become vulnerable
769
00:41:44,673 --> 00:41:48,719
in every circumstance or
whenever I choose to be?
770
00:41:50,679 --> 00:41:54,266
The plan was to do a very,
very deconstructed version.
771
00:41:55,392 --> 00:41:57,102
We took it in a different direction
772
00:41:57,102 --> 00:41:59,479
where it's more about this celebration.
773
00:41:59,521 --> 00:42:01,481
The song we chose was "Scenescof."
774
00:42:02,816 --> 00:42:05,152
I don't know if I'm
pronouncing that right.
775
00:42:05,152 --> 00:42:05,986
What is that?
776
00:42:05,986 --> 00:42:07,029
What is Scenescof?
777
00:42:07,029 --> 00:42:10,240
Is it scenes... sea of?
778
00:42:11,408 --> 00:42:14,703
That line, "I don't need
anyone to dictate all my fun."
779
00:42:14,703 --> 00:42:16,371
It's an anthem of freedom.
780
00:42:16,371 --> 00:42:18,165
But that's exactly, yeah,
781
00:42:18,165 --> 00:42:19,791
we'll move into that just
a little bit at the end.
782
00:42:19,791 --> 00:42:21,126
But that was beautiful.
783
00:42:22,044 --> 00:42:24,588
For me as a young kid in San Francisco
784
00:42:24,588 --> 00:42:25,505
walking around the city.
785
00:42:25,547 --> 00:42:28,258
Okay so now.
786
00:42:28,258 --> 00:42:29,968
I have no idea what's gonna happen
787
00:42:32,137 --> 00:42:33,388
and I...
788
00:42:33,388 --> 00:42:37,893
And as uncertain as every
single aspect of my life was,
789
00:42:37,893 --> 00:42:39,102
I had that to rely on.
790
00:42:40,395 --> 00:42:43,148
I just didn't need anybody but that song.
791
00:42:44,274 --> 00:42:47,235

have any special things
792
00:42:47,235 --> 00:42:49,488

793
00:42:50,697 --> 00:42:52,949

794
00:42:52,949 --> 00:42:55,744
like we have done here, like
the concert tour that we did.
795
00:42:55,744 --> 00:42:58,163
It was just really playing to people
796
00:42:58,163 --> 00:43:01,041
and having within a quieter thing,
797
00:43:01,041 --> 00:43:03,543
an excitement which equals
sort of rock and roll,
798
00:43:03,543 --> 00:43:06,838
but doesn't have any of the
violence or no violent feelings.
799
00:43:06,838 --> 00:43:08,715
If people dance or people move about
800
00:43:08,715 --> 00:43:11,927
or sort of scratch at the
air, it's because they want to
801
00:43:11,927 --> 00:43:14,638

enjoying the music.

It's a transitional period
807
00:43:24,064 --> 00:43:26,233

808
00:43:26,233 --> 00:43:28,235

815
00:43:47,087 --> 00:43:50,215
These were like poly
rhythms even back then
816
00:43:50,215 --> 00:43:53,343

817
00:43:53,343 --> 00:43:54,803
that's extraordinary.

he's also playing rhythm,
820
00:44:00,684 --> 00:44:03,603
which is dual and Marc is
playing rhythm as well.

00:46:26,621 --> 00:46:29,541
It's when people deny
sort of spiritual factors,
870
00:46:29,541 --> 00:46:31,710
it's very sad, 'cause
it's everywhere around us.
871
00:46:31,710 --> 00:46:33,837
- He started using
electric guitars by then
872
00:46:33,837 --> 00:46:36,339
and he renamed the group T-Rex.

- When he recorded "Ride a White Swan,"
887
00:47:33,229 --> 00:47:34,898
he played it to me upstairs and I said,
888
00:47:34,898 --> 00:47:36,524
"well that's just a great way
889
00:47:36,524 --> 00:47:39,027
"to be Chuck Berry in the modern world.
890
00:47:39,027 --> 00:47:40,570
"It's perfect, Marc."
891
00:47:41,196 --> 00:47:43,656
And I took the demo before release
892
00:47:44,074 --> 00:47:45,533
to the Isle of Wight with me
893
00:47:45,533 --> 00:47:48,620
and played it every two
hours throughout five days.
894
00:47:49,913 --> 00:47:53,333
I was the promo man on Ride a White Swan.

- [Maria] I was heavily
pushing the unicorn.
907
00:49:09,576 --> 00:49:11,786
She was born to be my unicorn.
908
00:49:11,786 --> 00:49:16,666
- We thought put unicorn first
drawn as initially an intro.
909
00:49:16,666 --> 00:49:20,920
Then it took a different
direction of having all of unicorn
910
00:49:20,962 --> 00:49:23,256
and swan as the coda.
911
00:49:23,256 --> 00:49:25,341

- You know, at thanksgiving sometimes,
915
00:49:29,053 --> 00:49:31,097
like if I bring a care package
over to somebody's house,
916
00:49:31,097 --> 00:49:33,933
if I've made pie, and I made
a pumpkin pie and a pecan pie,
917
00:49:33,975 --> 00:49:36,561
and I had a piece of each in Tupperware
918
00:49:36,561 --> 00:49:39,439
and they moulded together
and became one pie.
919
00:49:39,439 --> 00:49:41,774
- Pie is my favourite word.
920
00:49:41,774 --> 00:49:42,609
- Really?
921
00:49:42,609 --> 00:49:43,943
- Yeah.
- Like in a mathematics?
922
00:49:43,943 --> 00:49:47,238
- No, I tell people, "now
let's go have some pie."
923
00:49:47,238 --> 00:49:48,156
- Oh, okay.
924
00:49:48,156 --> 00:49:50,074
- "Ride a White Swan,"
went up to number two
925
00:49:50,074 --> 00:49:52,535
so right away we're gonna make
another record immediately,
926
00:49:52,535 --> 00:49:54,537
and he wanted drums on this one.
927
00:49:54,537 --> 00:49:57,207
I introduced Marc to Bill and he says,
928
00:49:57,207 --> 00:49:58,249
"oh you are from the group Legend.
929
00:49:58,249 --> 00:50:00,793
"Well, I'm gonna call you
Bill Legend from now on."
930
00:50:00,793 --> 00:50:03,796
So Bill played on "Hot Love,"
and by the end of the session
931
00:50:03,796 --> 00:50:05,256
Marc says you're my drummer.
932
00:50:06,299 --> 00:50:08,301
- I didn't know where it was gonna go.
933
00:50:08,301 --> 00:50:11,721
Okay, we had like what,
"Hot Love," in the charts?
934
00:50:11,721 --> 00:50:12,972
What was gonna be the next one?
935
00:50:13,014 --> 00:50:15,767
Would that be a number one or
what about the one after that?
936
00:50:15,767 --> 00:50:19,145
If it was, but I never assumed or presumed
937
00:50:19,145 --> 00:50:20,980
that it was going to be successful.
938
00:50:21,022 --> 00:50:23,149
- [Tony] Waiting in the
wings was Steve Currie,
939
00:50:23,149 --> 00:50:24,317
the bass player.
940
00:50:24,317 --> 00:50:27,111
From there on end this was a T-Rex band
941
00:50:27,111 --> 00:50:29,531
that was gonna be the band
for the next three years.
942
00:50:30,740 --> 00:50:33,743
(upbeat rock music)
943
00:50:48,132 --> 00:50:49,551
- He was so wonderful,
he come down and said,
944
00:50:49,551 --> 00:50:51,553
"Elton, I sold a million
records this morning."
945
00:50:51,553 --> 00:50:54,264
And I went, "fabulous,
Marc, how great for you."
946
00:50:54,264 --> 00:50:57,475
But he wasn't egotistical,
he was so fantastic.
947
00:50:57,475 --> 00:51:00,895
(upbeat music continues)
948
00:51:08,486 --> 00:51:11,447
- Rock music is the thing that
one feels about and enjoys,
949
00:51:11,447 --> 00:51:12,824
and if one doesn't feel and enjoy it,
950
00:51:12,824 --> 00:51:14,534
then one shouldn't really
talk about it or listen to it.
951
00:51:14,534 --> 00:51:15,493
Can we go to the audience
952
00:51:15,493 --> 00:51:16,536
or do you wanna cut off?
- [Interviewer] Yes,
953
00:51:16,536 --> 00:51:17,370
by all means, yes.
954
00:51:17,370 --> 00:51:18,204
- What do you think a pop star is?
955
00:51:18,204 --> 00:51:19,038
Can anyone say?
956
00:51:19,038 --> 00:51:19,914
Just as on a flash.
957
00:51:19,914 --> 00:51:22,041
Come on, doesn't matter,
they'll cut it out.
958
00:51:22,041 --> 00:51:23,376
- [Person] Hard worker.
- [Person] Hard worker.
959
00:51:23,376 --> 00:51:24,794
- I was gonna say (indistinct).
960
00:51:24,794 --> 00:51:25,712
- Well that's nice.
961
00:51:25,712 --> 00:51:26,671
That makes, really.
- It is, it is.
962
00:51:26,671 --> 00:51:28,131
I think it is a job.
963
00:51:28,131 --> 00:51:31,426
I mean people think that it's,
you just go into a studio
964
00:51:31,426 --> 00:51:34,012
and a couple of hours it's all over.
965
00:51:34,012 --> 00:51:36,055
It's not like that at all, is it?
966
00:51:36,097 --> 00:51:37,515
- Not at all.
- I mean it's damn hard work.
967
00:51:37,515 --> 00:51:38,474
It really is.
968
00:51:38,474 --> 00:51:42,562
- But isn't everything?

976
00:53:03,142 --> 00:53:04,977
- The funny thing about this song is
977
00:53:04,977 --> 00:53:07,647
I definitely wrote some new baselines
978
00:53:07,647 --> 00:53:08,648
and wrote some parts in it
979
00:53:08,648 --> 00:53:10,817
that emphasised the funkiness of the song.
980
00:53:10,817 --> 00:53:14,570
But the truth is we
wouldn't have had to change
981
00:53:14,570 --> 00:53:17,323
any of the notes to make it funky.
982
00:53:17,323 --> 00:53:21,077
We just would've had to
play it like Snarky Puppy
983
00:53:21,077 --> 00:53:23,287
'cause the song itself is funky.
984
00:53:23,287 --> 00:53:25,998
I did an arrangement
that I felt would reflect
985
00:53:25,998 --> 00:53:28,459
and bring out kind of
the funkiness of the tune
986
00:53:28,459 --> 00:53:30,586
but also kind of the weirdness
987
00:53:30,586 --> 00:53:33,965
and kind of dissonance, in a certain way.
988
00:53:35,383 --> 00:53:38,469
'Cause it's not a thing that
I think can be played cleanly,
989
00:53:38,469 --> 00:53:41,347
that song, it has to be kind of murky
990
00:53:41,347 --> 00:53:43,558
and ambiguous, you know?
991
00:53:43,558 --> 00:53:45,393
But the baselines, actually, in that song,
992
00:53:45,393 --> 00:53:49,147
in that arrangement could
be parliament baselines.
993
00:53:49,147 --> 00:53:52,483
(funky music continues)
994
00:53:55,027 --> 00:53:57,113
- On "The Slider" there
was that spontaneity.
995
00:53:57,113 --> 00:53:59,615
It wasn't time enough to think, you know,
996
00:53:59,615 --> 00:54:02,201
Bill Legend said he would
just barely know the song
997
00:54:02,243 --> 00:54:04,787
and then Marc would say
that's it, that's a take.
998
00:54:04,787 --> 00:54:08,166
You know, nowadays records are
usually made to a click track
999
00:54:08,166 --> 00:54:09,876
and by the time you get
to the end of the song,
1000
00:54:09,876 --> 00:54:11,878
it's still the same exact tempo.
1001
00:54:11,878 --> 00:54:14,130
There was no click track in the seventies
1002
00:54:14,130 --> 00:54:16,215
and if you listen to "The Slider,"
1003
00:54:16,215 --> 00:54:17,925
it starts out like (slow
tempo vocalisation).
1004
00:54:20,219 --> 00:54:22,054
By the end of "The Slider" it's
(upbeat tempo vocalisation).
1005
00:54:23,055 --> 00:54:26,434
It must have cranked up
about 15 beats per minute.
1006
00:54:26,434 --> 00:54:28,811

1007

1013
00:55:11,729 --> 00:55:12,855
- I feel like the time he was making music
1014
00:55:12,855 --> 00:55:15,441
there was a lot of like really,
1015
00:55:15,441 --> 00:55:17,902
like important figures in rock.
1016
00:55:17,902 --> 00:55:19,987
So he might get overlooked in that regard
1017
00:55:19,987 --> 00:55:22,990
but like yeah, he's just really good.
1018
00:55:22,990 --> 00:55:26,702
- I think he probably
has a lot to do with like
1019
00:55:26,702 --> 00:55:28,871
a man carrying himself like that,
1020
00:55:28,871 --> 00:55:33,626
like making that okay
and like that's cool.
1021
00:55:33,626 --> 00:55:38,089
Like people like him and
Bowie and stuff, you know,
1022
00:55:38,089 --> 00:55:40,383
you don't have to be
like the super masculine,
1023
00:55:42,051 --> 00:55:44,512
you know character to be a male singer.
1024
00:55:44,512 --> 00:55:51,143
You can be a character or
you know be your own thing.
1025
00:55:51,936 --> 00:55:55,273

1026

(crowd cheering)
1029
00:56:57,877 --> 00:56:59,503
- When you hear Marc Bolan,
1030
00:56:59,503 --> 00:57:02,924
it is really apparent
that he is not posing,
1031
00:57:02,924 --> 00:57:06,052
he's pulling from those
artists that came before him.
1032
00:57:06,052 --> 00:57:08,304
It's not like he just
appeared from an alien planet
1033
00:57:08,304 --> 00:57:10,222
with a totally new language of music.
1034
00:57:10,222 --> 00:57:13,517
His, you know the lineage
behind him is apparent,
1035
00:57:13,517 --> 00:57:18,230
but it's the conviction that
that makes it still feel fresh,
1036
00:57:18,230 --> 00:57:20,858
when I listen to records
like "Tanx," or "The Slider,"
1037
00:57:20,858 --> 00:57:23,069

♪ I want to croon with you ♪
1040
00:57:32,745 --> 00:57:35,081
- I come from a very poor background
1041
00:57:35,081 --> 00:57:38,417
and I'm kind of like a
fairytale what happened to me.
1042
00:57:38,417 --> 00:57:40,711
But within that fairytale, it's hard work,
1043
00:57:40,711 --> 00:57:42,964
and now after seven
years, I'm a businessman
1044
00:57:42,964 --> 00:57:45,466
and I do my own shit
to protect my people.
1045
00:57:47,802 --> 00:57:49,011
- I have to thank Marc
1046
00:57:49,011 --> 00:57:51,263
'cause he came over one night for dinner
1047
00:57:51,263 --> 00:57:54,433
and he talked, you know, "oh, back off.
1048
00:57:54,475 --> 00:57:56,435
"Well Boogaloo." (laughs)
1049
00:57:56,477 --> 00:58:00,064
And they left,
1050
00:58:00,064 --> 00:58:02,066
we went to bed and you know
1051
00:58:02,066 --> 00:58:04,443
when you're in that twilight zone?
1052
00:58:04,485 --> 00:58:05,778
I just heard,
1053
00:58:05,778 --> 00:58:09,740
♪ Back off, Boo-ga-loo, I said, back off ♪
1054
00:58:09,740 --> 00:58:12,535
♪ Back off, Boo-ga-loo, I said ♪
1055

♪ Back off, Boo-ga-loo, I said ♪
1056
00:58:15,329 --> 00:58:19,709
♪ Back off, Boo-ga-loo, Boo ♪
1057
00:58:19,709 --> 00:58:21,794
- LA was kind of the hot bed
1058
00:58:21,794 --> 00:58:24,422
and I always would hear like the new stuff
1059
00:58:24,422 --> 00:58:26,590
because we'd drive around Sunset Boulevard
1060
00:58:26,590 --> 00:58:29,260
or go by the Continental Hyatt house,
1061
00:58:29,260 --> 00:58:33,014
or try and get into Rodney's club.
1062
00:58:33,014 --> 00:58:35,808
And so you got a sense of like
1063
00:58:35,808 --> 00:58:39,020
the coming thing on the
street when you came to LA,
1064
00:58:39,020 --> 00:58:40,855
and it was T-Rex.
1065
00:58:40,855 --> 00:58:45,860
It was that kind of
pumping, groovy hop-rock,
1066
00:58:47,737 --> 00:58:49,780
little bit of Eddie Cochran
1067
00:58:49,780 --> 00:58:52,491
and a little bit of like futurism,
1068
00:58:52,491 --> 00:58:56,871
and it felt so fresh and like insidious.
1069
00:58:56,871 --> 00:58:59,749
It got under your skin
in the way he used vocals
1070
00:58:59,749 --> 00:59:03,461
and like you know women's
voices, men's voices
1071
00:59:03,461 --> 00:59:05,963
and it was such a great kind of gumbo
1072
00:59:05,963 --> 00:59:08,299
of all these influences.
1073
00:59:08,299 --> 00:59:10,634
You couldn't get it outta your head
1074
00:59:10,634 --> 00:59:13,054
or like you couldn't get
the rhythm outta your body.

not to emulate it or anything
1081
00:59:29,904 --> 00:59:31,447
but just to kind of get the vibe.
1082
00:59:31,447 --> 00:59:33,157
- No more BPM than that.
1083
00:59:33,157 --> 00:59:34,492

1084
00:59:34,700 --> 00:59:37,328

1088
00:59:42,792 --> 00:59:44,543
- 140.
1089
00:59:44,585 --> 00:59:47,421

and she comes from such a different genre
1127
01:02:02,473 --> 01:02:05,142
but I think for how she got it
1128
01:02:05,142 --> 01:02:07,686
and how she kind of thought
it was as Bob Marley,
1129
01:02:07,728 --> 01:02:09,897
it felt like a, it's like a chant
1130
01:02:09,897 --> 01:02:11,899
of like we have to do something,
1131
01:02:11,899 --> 01:02:14,360
and we have to fight for
it and we have to bump,
1132
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:18,697
if we don't bump the table, no one will.
1133
01:02:18,697 --> 01:02:20,783
And she took it and turned it into,
1134
01:02:20,783 --> 01:02:24,203
it could be an anthem of
a whole new generation.
1135

(upbeat music)
1136
01:02:26,038 --> 01:02:31,043
- Marc took a train ride alone
to surprise me at Manchester.
1137
01:02:31,794 --> 01:02:34,296
I was opening for Bob Marley,
1138
01:02:35,339 --> 01:02:39,134
and any other day I
would've been in the hotel,
1139
01:02:40,552 --> 01:02:43,013
that day I decided to go to the mall.
1140
01:02:44,265 --> 01:02:47,851
So he goes over to the auditorium
1141
01:02:47,851 --> 01:02:50,020
and guess who's there on stage?
1142
01:02:50,020 --> 01:02:50,854
Bob.
1143
01:02:51,814 --> 01:02:53,482
So I said, "well, what did you do?"
1144
01:02:53,482 --> 01:02:56,944
He said, "he and I just sat
there and looked at each other
1145
01:02:56,944 --> 01:02:58,320
"and played the guitar.
1146
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,364
"Bob just sang to me and played
1147
01:03:00,364 --> 01:03:02,032
"and he said I just crossed my legs
1148
01:03:02,032 --> 01:03:04,159
"and just listened to him."
1149
01:03:04,159 --> 01:03:06,745
And so they had that wonderful moment
1150
01:03:06,745 --> 01:03:10,374
and that was that peace, one love.
1151
01:03:11,250 --> 01:03:12,960
Marc was very happy
1152
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:16,463
'cause he was comfortable in integrating,
1153
01:03:16,463 --> 01:03:19,133
bringing the two cultures together.
1154
01:03:20,050 --> 01:03:25,055
At that time Marc was
starting to change his sound
1155
01:03:25,514 --> 01:03:28,892
but he actually loved where he was going.
1156
01:03:28,892 --> 01:03:33,564
He liked the fact of riding
down Sunset Boulevard
1157
01:03:33,564 --> 01:03:37,401
in our gold Cadillac
with David Bowie driving
1158
01:03:37,401 --> 01:03:39,903
and they're in these gangster hats,
1159
01:03:39,903 --> 01:03:42,406
and all of a sudden a couple
of people look over and say,
1160
01:03:42,406 --> 01:03:45,367
"oh there's Marc Bolan and David Bowie
1161
01:03:45,367 --> 01:03:47,661
"driving down Sunset Boulevard."
1162
01:03:47,661 --> 01:03:50,414

♪ Is there a sane man ♪
1170
01:04:16,857 --> 01:04:20,069
- I was 16 and I really
wanted to interview Marc Bolan
1171
01:04:20,944 --> 01:04:22,696
and he was coming to San Diego.
1172
01:04:22,696 --> 01:04:25,324
He played the San Diego Civic Theatre
1173
01:04:25,324 --> 01:04:26,784
and I went backstage to meet him
1174
01:04:26,784 --> 01:04:29,078
and do one of two interviews.
1175
01:04:29,078 --> 01:04:31,789
Drove up from San Diego the next day,
1176
01:04:31,789 --> 01:04:33,290
I believe with Neal Preston,
1177
01:04:33,290 --> 01:04:35,834
and we had a great interview with him
1178
01:04:35,876 --> 01:04:37,127
at the Beverly Wilshire.
1179
01:04:38,045 --> 01:04:40,381
And Marc, you can see from the photos,
1180
01:04:40,381 --> 01:04:42,758
he kind of was holding court in this room,
1181
01:04:42,758 --> 01:04:44,301
kind of an opulent room.
1182
01:04:44,301 --> 01:04:48,097
He ordered some champagne
and he on a show day,
1183
01:04:48,097 --> 01:04:49,807
you know, 'cause he was
playing Santa Monica
1184
01:04:49,807 --> 01:04:51,058
that night, I guess.
1185
01:04:51,058 --> 01:04:55,646
And he drank this champagne
and was charmingly loopy,
1186
01:04:55,646 --> 01:05:00,651
and kind of performed the
Marc Bolan character for us.
1187
01:05:00,943 --> 01:05:05,531
- What I remember about that
day is pretty much summed up
1188
01:05:07,491 --> 01:05:08,325
in,
1189
01:05:09,952 --> 01:05:13,247
the now...
1190
01:05:13,247 --> 01:05:14,790
The somewhat famous
1191
01:05:17,459 --> 01:05:19,253
nipple photo.
1192
01:05:19,253 --> 01:05:21,380
You know, he's just so
matter of fact here.
1193
01:05:21,380 --> 01:05:24,049
And it wasn't like he was
taking the outta me or anything,
1194
01:05:24,049 --> 01:05:27,511
it was just thought this
will make a good photo.
1195
01:05:27,511 --> 01:05:31,390
But you know, the look on
his face is just priceless.
1196
01:05:31,390 --> 01:05:35,185
- He was fun and cheeky
1197
01:05:35,185 --> 01:05:38,188
but underneath it, I remember very clearly
1198
01:05:38,188 --> 01:05:40,524
was a kind of wounded bravado.
1199
01:05:40,524 --> 01:05:43,360
'Cause he had a little
bit of a story to tell,
1200
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,280
which was about this album "Tanx"
1201
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,199
had come out in January of that year,
1202
01:05:49,199 --> 01:05:53,537
gone to number one in
the UK, big hit, right?
1203
01:05:53,537 --> 01:05:55,247
And they were trying to like
1204
01:05:55,247 --> 01:05:57,916
put him over the top in America.
1205
01:05:57,958 --> 01:06:00,043
But what happened was
1206
01:06:00,043 --> 01:06:04,006
he had already played out the
glam rock thing in England.
1207
01:06:04,006 --> 01:06:07,301
So by the time "Tanx" comes out he said,
1208
01:06:07,301 --> 01:06:10,596
"I don't wanna put on the
makeup in England anymore,
1209
01:06:10,596 --> 01:06:12,389
"'cause like I played that character.
1210
01:06:12,389 --> 01:06:16,310
"I did it and now all the
people that imitated me
1211
01:06:16,310 --> 01:06:19,062
"have taken over but I need to move on."
1212
01:06:20,022 --> 01:06:22,858
And he said, "I'll wear
the makeup in the US
1213
01:06:22,858 --> 01:06:24,610
"because I haven't played that out,
1214
01:06:24,610 --> 01:06:26,403
"I haven't played that out here yet."
1215
01:06:26,403 --> 01:06:28,822
But he was slightly irritated
1216
01:06:28,822 --> 01:06:32,951
that his influence had not landed here
1217
01:06:32,993 --> 01:06:35,245
and was possibly waning there.
1218
01:06:35,245 --> 01:06:37,206
- [Marc] Boston's the only
city on this whole tour
1219
01:06:37,206 --> 01:06:39,291
that has not sold well,
I don't know why that is
1220
01:06:39,291 --> 01:06:40,918
and I must accept that.
1221
01:06:40,918 --> 01:06:42,794
To anyone out there, we're
just gonna rock and roll
1222
01:06:42,794 --> 01:06:44,213
so you're gonna come and rock and roll.
1223
01:06:44,213 --> 01:06:46,048
You know, but I'll play the three people.

(sombre music)
1238
01:07:47,985 --> 01:07:50,654
- Marc and I had an
extraordinary relationship.
1239
01:07:50,654 --> 01:07:53,740
We both knew we were gonna do great things
1240
01:07:53,740 --> 01:07:55,492
and we were very close in the beginning,
1241
01:07:55,492 --> 01:07:58,620
and then as it got closer
to us actually making it,
1242
01:07:58,620 --> 01:08:01,623
we drifted apart and we'd
be very wary of each other.
1243
01:08:03,542 --> 01:08:06,420
He started getting fairly, you know, known
1244
01:08:06,420 --> 01:08:10,424
and invite me to do mine
performances on his tours
1245
01:08:10,424 --> 01:08:11,758
and stuff like that.
1246
01:08:12,593 --> 01:08:14,428
But we kind of drifted, you know,
1247
01:08:14,428 --> 01:08:18,223
we were at either end of the
room by that time, you know,
1248
01:08:18,223 --> 01:08:20,934
even being sort of superficially
pleasant with each other.
1249
01:08:20,934 --> 01:08:22,644
It was like, who was gonna do it first?
1250
01:08:22,644 --> 01:08:25,939
♪ It really doesn't matter at all ♪
1251
01:08:25,939 --> 01:08:27,482
♪ it really doesn't matter ♪
1252
01:08:27,482 --> 01:08:31,069
- He talked a lot about Bowie
and Bowie who'd kind of,
1253
01:08:31,111 --> 01:08:33,405
obviously started out
around the same time.
1254
01:08:33,405 --> 01:08:36,158
There's a lot of intertwined
history with them.
1255
01:08:36,158 --> 01:08:39,703
They were close friends,
but I think because
1256
01:08:39,703 --> 01:08:41,872
of the kind of culture of the UK pop scene
1257
01:08:41,872 --> 01:08:44,791
where there's Melody
Maker and there's Sounds,
1258
01:08:44,791 --> 01:08:47,419
and there's New Musical Express.
1259
01:08:47,419 --> 01:08:51,048
And so these are weekly's
and they need content, right?
1260
01:08:51,048 --> 01:08:54,301
So they would really like
luxuriate in this world
1261
01:08:54,301 --> 01:08:56,928
where all the pop artists
would snipe at each other.
1262
01:08:56,928 --> 01:08:59,097
Rod Stewart would snipe at Elton John,
1263
01:08:59,097 --> 01:09:02,100
who'd snipe at Marc Bolan,
who'd Snipe at Bowie,
1264
01:09:02,100 --> 01:09:04,186
who'd snipe at Jethro Tull, you know,
1265
01:09:04,186 --> 01:09:07,648
and they just would like
be crabs in a bucket.
1266
01:09:07,648 --> 01:09:10,817
So I got the feeling
that Marc was coming off
1267
01:09:10,817 --> 01:09:13,904
of a publicised feud with David Bowie.
1268
01:09:13,904 --> 01:09:16,782
So he is alternately really
complimentary of David Bowie
1269
01:09:17,783 --> 01:09:19,701
and then a little jealous.
1270
01:09:19,701 --> 01:09:23,121

- [Person] Yeah, yeah.
1276
01:09:49,564 --> 01:09:50,982
- You worked so extra hard.
1277
01:09:50,982 --> 01:09:53,026
- [Interviewer] You vanished
a bit at the end of the year.
1278
01:09:53,026 --> 01:09:54,069
- [Marc] I didn't realise that
1279
01:09:54,069 --> 01:09:57,656
I'd only put two singles
out this year and one album,
1280
01:09:57,656 --> 01:10:00,242
but I also didn't wanna be that involved,
1281
01:10:00,242 --> 01:10:05,247
in my opinion, over
'Marlena Dietriching' the act
1282
01:10:05,247 --> 01:10:08,417
or over painting yourself
or becoming a circus clown,
1283
01:10:08,417 --> 01:10:10,752
or pretending to be Judy
Garland or something,
1284
01:10:10,752 --> 01:10:13,296

- Bowie, had started to
do the glam rock thing
1290
01:10:29,938 --> 01:10:33,608
and had put out "Aladdin
Sane" that same year
1291
01:10:33,608 --> 01:10:36,194
and then announced from the stage in July
1292
01:10:36,194 --> 01:10:39,281
that he'd retired and it was a big deal.
1293
01:10:39,281 --> 01:10:40,949
Bolan was a little
jealous because he says,
1294
01:10:40,949 --> 01:10:43,201
"they're playing Bowie
like he's James Dean."
1295
01:10:43,243 --> 01:10:46,788
Like he's too big and too starry for rock
1296
01:10:46,788 --> 01:10:50,167
and here was Bolan in the
US still trying to make it,
1297
01:10:50,167 --> 01:10:53,962
and they had put him on a tour
opening for Three Dog Night.

- In 73 I saw him, they were
opening for Three Dog Night.
1301
01:11:02,137 --> 01:11:05,432
I was with my friends and my
little sister in the front row
1302
01:11:05,432 --> 01:11:07,726
and we knew that we
were there to see T-Rex.
1303
01:11:07,726 --> 01:11:09,936
So in my little group right in the front,
1304
01:11:09,936 --> 01:11:12,105
I mean literally the
front, we could touch Marc.
1305
01:11:12,105 --> 01:11:15,108
That's when I really wanted
to become a guitar player.
1306
01:11:15,108 --> 01:11:17,527
- His success in England was phenomenal.
1307
01:11:17,527 --> 01:11:19,821
It didn't translate so much to America.
1308
01:11:19,821 --> 01:11:22,783
Of course, Get it on, Bang A
Gong was a huge hit over there.
1309
01:11:22,783 --> 01:11:25,243
I think his records were too out there
1310
01:11:25,285 --> 01:11:27,871
for American audiences
at that particular time.

That you're gonna do
something totally different?
1314
01:11:34,336 --> 01:11:36,046
Something that, I mean you
did the Cilla Black show,
1315
01:11:36,046 --> 01:11:37,547
which no one thought you would do.
1316
01:11:37,547 --> 01:11:38,799
Is there gonna come a time on record
1317
01:11:38,799 --> 01:11:41,009
when Marc is just gonna change like that?
1318
01:11:41,009 --> 01:11:42,344
- [Marc] I've just done
it in the new album.
1319
01:11:42,344 --> 01:11:43,637
It's just that you know when you hear it,
1320
01:11:43,637 --> 01:11:44,805
you'll know what I mean.
1321
01:11:44,805 --> 01:11:45,639

1333

I've expanded the whole sound incredibly.
1334
01:12:22,384 --> 01:12:24,886
I've double-headed the tour,
it's Marco Bolan and T-Rex
1335
01:12:24,886 --> 01:12:27,973
as Zinc Alloy and The
Hidden Riders of Tomorrow.

started experimenting with dance

- Calm.
1377
01:15:49,382 --> 01:15:52,719
(eerie celestial music)
1378
01:15:56,389 --> 01:16:01,394
♪ You damaged the soul of my suit ♪
1379
01:16:03,104 --> 01:16:08,109
♪ You pulled my love out by the roots ♪
1380
01:16:09,402 --> 01:16:13,156
♪ But I'm not such a bad boy ♪
1381
01:16:16,451 --> 01:16:20,580
(eerie celestial music continues)
1382
01:16:21,831 --> 01:16:23,792
- I'll never forget, he came home
1383
01:16:23,792 --> 01:16:25,877
and he was really, really sad.
1384
01:16:26,878 --> 01:16:31,674
And then he realises that now
I understand who fans are,
1385
01:16:32,592 --> 01:16:35,261
but he said, "I have to be me
1386
01:16:35,261 --> 01:16:39,015
"and I have to create
and I have to change."
1387
01:16:39,015 --> 01:16:41,976
And I thought that they would want that
1388
01:16:41,976 --> 01:16:44,938
and that they would change with me.
1389
01:16:44,938 --> 01:16:46,940
He said, "but I'm finding out
1390
01:16:46,940 --> 01:16:50,110
"that now I have to change for myself."
1391
01:16:51,111 --> 01:16:52,487
- He said he was working on a record
1392
01:16:52,487 --> 01:16:54,948
that was gonna be his "Blonde on Blonde,"
1393
01:16:54,948 --> 01:16:56,825
which I guess is the "Zinc Alloy" album.
1394
01:16:56,825 --> 01:16:59,536
He had already written
"Interstellar Soul,"
1395
01:16:59,536 --> 01:17:01,996
which he was very happy about,
1396
01:17:01,996 --> 01:17:03,289
and he was heading towards the thing
1397
01:17:03,289 --> 01:17:05,333
that Bowie himself would do in '75,
1398
01:17:05,333 --> 01:17:06,793
which was the "Young American" stuff.
1399
01:17:06,793 --> 01:17:11,798
So he just kept, you know, kind
of crossing paths with Bowie
1400
01:17:12,674 --> 01:17:16,219
probably in an annoying way,
ultimately, career wise.
1401
01:17:16,219 --> 01:17:21,182
- David went totally R and B
where Marc went more into punk.
1402
01:17:21,975 --> 01:17:26,104
Marc and Lonnie Jordan hit it off,
1403
01:17:26,104 --> 01:17:28,565
he's the keyboard player for War.
1404
01:17:28,565 --> 01:17:31,526
He said, "Lonnie, you're
going to be in Los Angeles,
1405
01:17:31,526 --> 01:17:32,986
"I'm going to call you."
1406
01:17:32,986 --> 01:17:35,446
He said, "I've an idea
for a wonderful song
1407
01:17:35,446 --> 01:17:38,116
"that I need you to play the piano on."
1408
01:17:38,116 --> 01:17:41,077
Lonnie said, "no problem man, I'm there."
1409
01:17:41,077 --> 01:17:45,707
So he goes into the studio,
plugs his guitar in.
1410
01:17:45,707 --> 01:17:48,835
All of a sudden you hear, wham!
1411
01:17:49,711 --> 01:17:54,674
"Surprise, surprise, the boys are home."
1412
01:17:54,757 --> 01:17:57,427
♪ Surprise, surprise ♪

01:17:57,427 --> 01:18:02,307

1420
01:18:40,428 --> 01:18:42,597
- Whenever you look at
these great artists,
1421
01:18:42,597 --> 01:18:44,515
there's always something missing.
1422
01:18:44,515 --> 01:18:48,311
Their preoccupation and
their focus and their energy
1423
01:18:48,311 --> 01:18:50,313
has been spent in a certain area,
1424
01:18:51,189 --> 01:18:53,149
and so they miss out on others.
1425
01:18:53,149 --> 01:18:54,943
- [Interviewer] Such as?
1426
01:18:54,943 --> 01:18:56,110
- Common sense.
1427
01:18:58,363 --> 01:19:00,031
♪ A broken god ♪
1428
01:19:00,031 --> 01:19:03,743
- The fans didn't want
to accept his new music.
1429
01:19:04,702 --> 01:19:07,664
He cried and he said, "why?
1430
01:19:07,664 --> 01:19:10,124
"Why can't they change with me?"
1431
01:19:11,167 --> 01:19:13,211
Then he understood,
1432
01:19:13,211 --> 01:19:18,216
I am so glad that I have my worth.
1433
01:19:18,383 --> 01:19:21,511
That I understand every
song that I have written.
1434
01:19:22,428 --> 01:19:25,932
But he said, "my dream is
to become a film director."
1435
01:19:28,142 --> 01:19:30,520
- First it's Rosemary who's
gonna ask Marc a question.
1436
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:31,354
- Yeah.
1437
01:19:31,354 --> 01:19:33,481
Have you any plans to make another film?
1438
01:19:34,399 --> 01:19:35,900
- Yeah, I'm in fact gonna be making one
1439
01:19:35,900 --> 01:19:37,318
in about three months time
1440
01:19:37,318 --> 01:19:39,737
and I play a murderer in it, So watch out.
1441
01:19:39,779 --> 01:19:40,905
We start in four weeks time.
1442
01:19:40,905 --> 01:19:43,491
- Mm-hm and where will you make that?
1443
01:19:43,491 --> 01:19:44,867
- We'll do it in Monte Carlo.
1444
01:19:44,867 --> 01:19:45,952
I'll definitely be doing films.
1445
01:19:45,952 --> 01:19:47,704
I'll be directing that one too.
1446
01:19:47,704 --> 01:19:49,998
- He was a dream maker.
1447
01:19:49,998 --> 01:19:54,627
He and Stan Lee actually spoke
1448
01:19:54,627 --> 01:19:58,006
about the future where
Stan ended up going.
1449
01:19:58,006 --> 01:19:59,882
- [Marc] What about Silver
Surfer, are they in there?
1450
01:19:59,882 --> 01:20:01,259
- [Stan] Yeah, he's one of my favourites.
1451
01:20:01,259 --> 01:20:05,179
If I saw this nut on a
flying surfboard in a story,
1452
01:20:05,179 --> 01:20:07,098
you see, and I said, "who's that guy?"
1453
01:20:07,098 --> 01:20:09,517
He said, "well I figured
a guy like Galactus
1454
01:20:09,517 --> 01:20:12,478
"would have to have a
Herald who goes before him
1455
01:20:12,478 --> 01:20:14,480
"and flies on a flying surfboard,"
1456
01:20:14,480 --> 01:20:16,524
and so was born the Silver Surfer.
1457
01:20:16,524 --> 01:20:18,026
- [Marc] And he was beautiful.

01:20:33,458 --> 01:20:36,294

summer I'd looked after him
1461
01:20:36,294 --> 01:20:37,795
throughout the TV show.
1462
01:20:37,837 --> 01:20:41,341
I managed him every week on that TV show
1463
01:20:41,341 --> 01:20:44,344
and you know there was a TV series?
1464
01:20:44,344 --> 01:20:49,349
(upbeat music)
(crowd cheering)
1465
01:20:50,475 --> 01:20:51,642
- All right.
1466
01:20:51,642 --> 01:20:54,312
Welcome to a new show called Marc.
1467
01:20:54,312 --> 01:20:58,566
Could be a lot of new sounds,
a lot of new experiences.
1468
01:20:58,566 --> 01:21:01,402

- Most of the older stars
were really quite anti punk.
1478
01:21:23,591 --> 01:21:25,676
Marc was in the tour, he's
like, "wow, what goes on?
1479
01:21:25,676 --> 01:21:27,595
"Wow, man, what's it like at the Roxy?
1480
01:21:27,595 --> 01:21:29,055
"Wow man, could you take me down?"
1481
01:21:29,055 --> 01:21:30,765
And We did go down to the Roxy
1482
01:21:30,765 --> 01:21:32,308
and he launched this album
1483
01:21:32,308 --> 01:21:34,811

1493
01:22:16,102 --> 01:22:18,312
We were at the back,
1494
01:22:18,312 --> 01:22:21,441
when I looked up Marc pulled up
1495
01:22:21,441 --> 01:22:24,569
all the way to the front stage
1496
01:22:24,569 --> 01:22:26,320
and that's who he was, he just,
1497
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:28,906
he loved music, he loved creating.
1498
01:22:28,906 --> 01:22:31,159
- I find that The Pistol
is very believable.
1499
01:22:31,159 --> 01:22:36,122
I find, um, the Ramones
beautifully unbelievable.

"Sheena ls a Punk Rocker,"

Debora was a zebra, which is
my first hit right in '67.
1502
01:22:42,962 --> 01:22:47,216
It's all, I mean, it's all

- It was very absurd, it
didn't even make any sense.
1517
01:23:33,346 --> 01:23:35,181
Some of it was like almost rambling,
1518

but it was such like a

- He found his roots when
he started the TV show
1540
01:24:27,108 --> 01:24:30,403
and discovering like
Generation X with Billy Idol,
1541
01:24:30,403 --> 01:24:35,408
the Damned and he kind of
evolved to the godfather of punk.
1542
01:24:36,951 --> 01:24:39,412
- This is a new group called Generation X
1543
01:24:39,412 --> 01:24:41,956
who have a lead singer called Billy Idol,
1544
01:24:41,956 --> 01:24:45,126
who's supposed to be as pretty as me.
1545
01:24:45,126 --> 01:24:47,837
We'll see now, Generation X!
