	Emma ..... a friend of mine at the time was so mad about Marc Bolan that when he died she went half round the bend , it was all very traumatic at the time . A shame he died , I liked his music . Mother Teresa died at more or less the same time as Lady Diana I think .

	I think the same thing happened with Mother Teresa when she died. Also a fan of M B and remember the young girl who lived next door to me being in hysterics when he died. Emmax

	I loved T-Rex. I remember them on Top of The Pops. AND - They are the only band (that I know of) who have ever sung a song with my name..... Debora. Deb

	Thats it Joy ...thank you.. don`t you think any other time she`d have made front page news? In Charlies Angels she was the pin up girl of the 70s, and i believe that famous iconic poster of hers was one of the worlds best selling posters.....she went on to be a really credible actress and was amazing in The Burning Bed and Small Sacrifices...both made for tv movies,but they really showcased her talents. nicky

	NIcky, I think that it was Farrah Fawcett that died near the time of Michael Jackson.

	Always felt at the time that Marc Bolans death was overshadowed By the death of Elvis just a month earlier......same thing happened last year, someone famous died the same day or around the time of the death of Michael Jackson, and they were relegated to a small side column in the papers....can`t for the life of me think who it was....... Like you Pam loved Ride a White Swan .... Nicky

	I have memories of T Rex and Marc Bolan's records in my younger days, (well just 30) I only have to hear Ride a White Swan etc and the memories flood back. I just googled and found his birthday was 30.9.47 so he was only a little younger than me. Had he lived, he would be coming up to 63, same age as me now. Wonder how he would have aged and what his path would have been had he not died. Lizx

	I remember posting tribute threads for Marc; as sometimes happens, one disappeared and I can't find the other now either! :-) So - R.I.P. Ride it on out like a bird in the skyway, Ride it on out like you were a bird, Fly it all out like an eagle in a sunbeam, Ride it all out like you were a bird. Wear a tall hat like the druid in the old days Wear a tall hat and a Tattooed gown Ride a white swan like the people of the Beltane, Wear your hair long,babe,you can't go wrong. Catch a bright star and place it on your forehead, Say a few spells and baby,there you go, Take a black cat and sit it on your shoulder, And in the morning you'll know all you know. Wear a tall hat like the druid in the old days Wear a tall hat and a Tattooed gown Ride a white swan like the people of the Beltane, Wear your hair long, babe, you can't go wrong.

	Dear All Hello On this day, 33 years ago, the pop singer Marc Bolan was killed in a car accident in Barnes, London. He was only 29 years old. Mr Bolan had just completed a television series and was said to be poised to make a comeback after spending the last three years abroad as a tax exile. Thank you for the memories Marc and RIP. Take gentle care Very best wishes xx
