Age: Too old to go clubbing, too young to stay at home
DOB: 13th February 1954 (born to be an Aquarius)
Fave song: Life's a gas!
Fave album: Electric Warrior
Fave quote: "I drive a Rolls Royce 'cause it's good for my voice" !
Also "were all splinters of God's head" and "He (Jesus) was a very funky stud, who denied the Beast .......... and had a great image"
First experience: On Radio 1, early in 1971 when I heard Ride a White Swan and was intrigued by such original lyrics as "Wear a tall hat like a Druid in the old days, Wear a tall hat and a tattooed gown, Ride a white swan like the people of the Beltaine, Wear your hair long, you can't go wrong!" This was literally magic for me and I was ensnared from then on. The first time I saw Marc was on BBC's Top of the Pops singing Get it On. He was wearing a satin jacket and that summer I went to a local boutique to buy one. It was electric blue but was talked out of it by mother who persuaded me that I would look ridiculous and anyway the fashion would change by the autumn and so would hardly wear it. This is also one of my biggest regrets. I also took a day out to specially travel to the London cinema Oscar 1 to see Born to Boogie but it had been taken off. The first single I ever bought was Jeepster and was amazed to find his picture on the B side. I wasn't expecting anything special on the flip side but was knocked out by Life's a gas, which I rated better than the chosen A side. I discovered that this was not a one off and that most of his singles contained quality recordings on the B side, some with two additional songs.

Comments: After nearly 30 years my interested has not diminished, this is truly magic. If I feel down I just put on one of his records.

I don´t have a fave Bolan album, but most often played in my mind are Zinc Alloy & Dandy In The Underworld. Tyrannosaurus Rex in spring and summer, it seems to lend itself to the buzz of nature in the air. All of the Unchained, Bolan at home is sooo comfy!
Hobbies reading about the things that is our cosmic inheritance, and experimenting with that energy! (It can be done).

Occupation: Artist
Birthdate: January 31
Fave LP's: Zip Gun, Tanx (Marc) Teaser (Tommy Bolin)
How you got into Marc: Curiosity led me to Marc, last year. I seem to have worked backward with my
musical taste. I am very into the late 60's and early middle 70's. Also Record Collector and Mojo magazine
have been great musical references for me. Other hobbies and passion revolve around Art,
and making my wife Melissa as happy as i can.
Favorite links: TillDawn of course, also a special thanks to Nathie and Gordon who have both been great in helping me
discover Marc and finding great lists like Till Dawn.
Favourite Non-Bolan links are Tommy Bolin sites, I guess everyone may not know Tommy but he was
Deep Purple's guitarist at one stage, and cut great albums with his own bands Moxy,
Energy, Zephyr, also with Billy Cobham and Alphonse Mouzon, groundbreaking Jazz Fusion records.
It is a strange quirk that my 2 favourite artists are both Bolins, Bolans. Tommy was another who left us too soon,
he died at 25 of an overdose.
