Rex, my good friend Marc Bolan. People knew him as a great musician, a songwriter, a guitarist, but he was also a poet, and he was very proud of that. He was always telling me that he was the No. 1 selling poet in Britain. In fact, his poetry was as important to him as his music. He had great style and was really unlike anyone else I have ever met.<\/p>\n<p>He was a great performer, just incredible, and that\u2019s why I called the film we did together <em>Born to Boogie<\/em> because he really was. I told Marc, \u201cI\u2019ll bring the camera and everything else, you just bring yourself.\u201d We had a lot of fun together. I remember lots of laughter.<\/p>\n<p>We lost him way too young. Within his short life he made over 12 albums that are as far out and ahead of their time as he was. With the help of Tony Visconti and his band T. Rex, Marc\u2019s style started a lot of trends. They called it glam rock, with singles such as \u201cGet It On,\u201d \u201cChildren of the Revolution,\u201d\u00a0and, of course, \u201cBorn to Boogie.\u201d But it was always just great music to me, and that\u2019s why people are still listening to T. Rex today. There\u2019s no doubt they belong in the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame. Finally! And I\u2019m very proud to welcome them in right now. Peace and love to Marc, Mickey, Steve, and Bill, and peace and love to all the fans from me and T. Rex. Peace and love!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rolan_Bolans_acceptance_speech\"><\/span>Rolan Bolan\u2019s acceptance speech<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote-embed blockquote-embed--has-top-border\">\n<div class=\"blockquote-embed__content\">\n<p>I feel very honored to accept this award on behalf of my father Marc Bolan and his band T. Rex. I really think my dad was put on this Earth not only to play music, but to show off his unique magnetism and charisma. He took inspiration from American music, but formulated his own persona and his own sound. The T. Rex sound kept evolving up through when my mother joined the group, creating a cosmic soul which still tests musical boundaries as well as racial ones.<\/p>\n<p>As I reflect on this incredible honor of my dad and his band being inducted into the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame, I think about how I really didn\u2019t have a chance to know him very well. He was taken away from all of us so early in his life. I discovered his music pretty much the same way you have\u2014through my eyes and ears. When I was a kid watching MTV, Def Leppard\u2019s \u201cRocket\u201d video came on, and it had clips of T. Rex\u2019s performance of \u201cGet It On.\u201d That was my daily hello to my father. When I saw GnR and Slash was wearing a <em>Slider<\/em> T-shirt and looking just like my dad, I had to check out <em>The Slider<\/em> album and discover the T. Rex sound for my self. I know my dad would\u2019ve been very proud to receive this. He always aimed for the top and here he is now. To my mother Gloria Jones, my uncle Harry Feld, friends and fans all across the world, keep a little Marc in your heart and long live T. Rex.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"cne-video-embed cne-video-embed--margins\">\n<div class=\"cne-video-embed__persistent-placeholder\">\n<div class=\"cne-video-embed__persistent-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/news\/rock-hall-2020-t-rex-inducted-by-ringo-starr-joan-jett-billy-idol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Rock Hall 2020: T.
