i wanted to add that i am a "lyric" guy & i find bolan
a pretty masterful wordsmith....he plays with language
better than some of the best surrealist poets of last
century & he can equal dylan or chuck berry in terms
of rhythm & groove (i'm talking language here...his
musical grooves are amongst the best & are f-ing
primal too!)...sure he wrote some daffy gunk & he was
obviously just treading water at times, but from "T.
Rex" thru to "TANX", including all the singles, the
man could do no wrong...
