Short answer - me!
I picked the monicker up while still at school, way back in the early 1970's, when one of the biggest pop/rock stars in Britain and around the world was Marc Bolan and his group T.Rex. As usual, it was peer pressure that formed the initial interest, but this grew the more I investigated the Bopping Elf, and I have remained an avid fan to this day, 36 years after Marc's untimely demise on September 16, 1977, just two weeks short of his 30th birthday.
So that's where the handle gets its root, but don't tune out suddenly in panic, thinking I am going to build a site dedicated to the adoration of the Bolan! LOL
Yes - there will be the occasional Bolan or T.Rex tune gracing the blog entries, but the real indulgence of this blog is to leave my impressions over a LOT of music from a LOT of artists that I have enjoyed over the years. And believe me, there will be an incredible breadth of music and artists to listen to - From Bolan to Black Sabbath, Deep Purple to Devo, King Crimson to Kraftwerk, Jethro Tull to Tangerine Dream, with lots of progressive rock, glam rock, heavy metal, punk rock, bubble-gum pop, etc, etc, etc.
I intend to blab about them all - the thousands of songs and albums and artists I have been lucky enough to enjoy over the years. And I want to hear what you think, too. Please leave comments after each and any blog post to let me know what you thought of the music or artist I've showcased, and we'll have a jolly good chinwag about them all!
Those about to Rock - I salute you!
The Bolanoid
