Despite the feather boa, makeup, long curly hair and satin trousers, people still thought Marc Bolan might have been gay!

He was an ace face (a very well dressed mod) in the 60’s and stole motorbikes to pay for his obsession with clothes

T. Rex

One per week!

Not sure if this is a general point Duffers or an eye roll at T Rex.

If the latter you are wrong, very wrong. For those of us who became teenagers in the early 70s, they were an important bridge between pop music and something a bit more challenging/serious/better (delete as appropriate).

Children of the Revolution.

On Bowie I think they were friends up until Bolan's death. Bolan had a children's pop show, and there is a famous show where Bowie appears doing his latest single     which was Heroes.

Bowie was a very good mimic of other singers. If you search YouTube you can find him mimicking Bolan (amongst others) on an outake of Absolute Beginners.

They were fantastic. He's about the same age as Springsteen-would have been packing out arenas now if he'd have lived imho. Or postponing arena gigs indefinitely to keep hold of the money, more likely.

Oh no, nothing against T-Rex at all. Lot of time for them, I’d pick Children of the Revolution as mine.

We’d agreed that posters could only post one thread a week to give more posters chance to suggest someone and get a bit more diversity rather than the same few starting threads. Remi has already done one this week.

The accuser is normally the real abuser.
