Marc Bolan and T Rex

A Chronology

Cliff McLennahan

Published on the 25th anniversary of Bolan’s tragically premature death, the Chronology documents Bolan’s life day by day, concentrating on the years when T Rex ruled the charts and airwaves. Bolan was the ultimate glam-rock icon; beautiful, elfin, outrageously dressed, and capable of hammering out impossibly catchy teen rock hits such as "Telegram Sam," and "Get It On." With their pounding guitars and three-chord anthems, T Rex paved the way for hard rock and punk rock.
