    He composed such brilliant music with his head and heart. Played such immortal guitar riffs with his hands. But in the cold dawn,
    his soul rushed through a tree,
    straight into eternity.
    Only a corkscrew curl on the hard metal sheet of a wrecked car, waves us goodbye...

    The tree didn't kill Marc Bolan. Reckless driving did. Can't think of the 1970s and the glam rock era without thinking of Bolan. He was made for the decade and he's never going to leave it. RIP.

      Marc Bolan, was amazing! I didn't realize he died until tonight, 12/15/23. Sorry. I, have been out of touch with that fact. Because every chance I get I always play his music! He was and still is a great, musician! I also saw him perform with Trex in person at, Wildwood, New Jersey 08260, convention Hall in, 1971. He and Trex were amazing then and still are! Happy listening! I am sorry to hear about his death. I thought he was still alive! God bless him! A great, musician, singer, and artist he was and is!

    He stated in an interview that he never thought he would live past 30. He also stated that he never drove because he was terrified of driving and dying in an automobile accident. He knew his time on this earth was short. I’m sure it is painful for his family to this day and for his son that he never got to see grow up.

    He wasn't killed by the tree, it was a fence post - he was fatally injured by an eye bolt. The car happened to come to rest up against the tree. You only have to see the damage done to the car and the size of the tree (plus it would have been smaller in the 70's) to realise the tree is innocent. Anyhoo, if you haven't been to the site, go, they have done a lovely job of creating a little garden of peace to a wonderful and much missed artist.

    The car didn't hit the tree, it hit the crash barrier. The tree which had very little damage, actually prevented the car from rolling down the bank. I took a look at the tree in the middle eighties and it had very little damage, the damage was in fact high up on the trunk. The tree is also quite small and would have been extensively damaged if a car had hit it at that speed. It always stuck in my mind how a car could be so badly damaged by a tree with so little damage. So many people have visited the crash site over the years and never question this fact, I find this very strange indeed.

    that came out in 2012 revealed that it was not the tree but a protective rail or fence that actually killed him. It was removed shortly after which is why you don’t see pictures of it and people assume it’s the tree that did the damage. Nonetheless I admit, the Margrite painting with the exact date Of the accident is pretty weird As is the detail that he became obsessed for a day with the paining the last time he was in France and saw it.

    A lot of irony in Bolan's death. For example, he never learned to drive because he felt he would die in a car accident. The irony is that if he had driven, he would probably be alive today. And no...trees are not evil. Trees don't plan to kill people. And the license plate had "FOX" in it, so of course it MUST be related to a song he wrote about picking foxes from the trees. First off, Marc's lyrics were mostly nonsense anyhow. I'm sure I could peruse through his lyrics and find some deep, secret messages.

  • @nihonbunka
    @nihonbunka 6 років тому +2

    Both his wife (at the funeral) and woman, Vicky Aram, that found him just after the crash said that Marc only had a small head scar.
    The strange coincidence for me is that Vicky Aram also had a car crash **on the way to the Marc Bolan crash inquest** which prevented her testimony.
    Gloria was prevented from testifying due to fear of being prosecuted.
    So the surviving crash witnesses, or at least two of the three, were unable to testify.
    The other survivor, Richard Jones, did not think that Bolan was dead when they took him out of the car and put him on a rug. I guess that Richard Jones is Gloria's brother Richard Jones, so that means all three of the crash survivors would not have been at the inquest, assuming that Richard escorted his sister back to the US.
    If anyone had had the technology to cause car crashes, perhaps by remote control steering malfunction, might have used it twice if they had not wanted it be known that Marc's injury did not look fatal.
    Crashes can be caused, but I guess it is difficult to make sure that people die in them, unless you go and shoot them in the head immediately afterwards.

      ​@Lesley Wynter Vicky Aram was at the scene of the crash immediately after it happened. Why would she lie? She was writing (on her blog and in a book) about her impression at the time, many years later, not talking to the family. Do you think that she lied to protect family and friends?
      By the way, Vicky Aram was prevented from attending, and testifying at the coroner's inquest since she suffered a car accident on the way there, a week after Bolan's crash.
      If someone had had the technology to cause car accidents they might have used it twice.
      Googling "car accident" "assignation" lead me to a group who killed people by that method in the early 1980s, working out of East Berlin.
      By the way, did Bolan have a dog? Was it fat?

    "he toured with The Damned" .....wowzers , what a dude.... Never mind what Marc confided to his mate Steve Harley : "oh well ,it gets bums on the seats"..... anyway.....the Damned comic book "punk" sucked , they only became listenable for a short while during the mid 80s.
