Did I really wear out my copy of T. Rex's The Slider as a youth? Oh dear; yes, I guess I did. When advertisers mining the past for nuggets of pop culture to attach to a product get to Glam, we'll be hearing this one in a car commercial. Marc Bolan's shiny blue plastic overalls probably won't be making a comeback though:
Catchy. I've heard only That Other T-Rex Song before this.
Hard to be menacing while lisping, but he gives it all he has.
And I am impressed that he can play all those violins with his butt.

I barely remember the other song..'T-Rex' is kindof
catchy or I don't think they would have had a chance.

Posted by: richard at April 28, 2007 10:53 AMI hate to sound stupid, but it's never stopped me before, so i'll ask....whatever happened to T-Rex? Is he dead or alive? If dead, how did he die, and if alive, what's he doing these days?
Posted by: Scot at April 30, 2007 12:25 AMMarc Bolan died in a car crash in like 1978. It turns out he was very clever financially, putting most of his money out of reach of his own drug use. He ended up leaving his son a trust of somewhere around 35 million.
