hello!! what are your favorite marc bolan / mickey finn fun facts? ^_^

thanks for the ask!! here’s a few silly ones that first came to mind:

-Marc once climbed on top of a stationary helicopter and asked to be spun around on the blades (they let him for some reason)

-Marc got sued by his wife who left him and immediately bragged about how he was gay and good in bed literally right outside the court to the first interviewer who talked to him

-When Mickey was first hired Marc would openly brag to anyone who would listen about how he “always wanted a man with a beard” and when Mickey shaved his beard Marc did not talk to him for 3 full days

-Not much of a fun fact but I can’t stop thinking of the imagery of Mickey leaping up on his conga drums with a tambourine during a live show because Marc’s microphone stand was broken and he took the opportunity to be a distraction

-Mickey is the only member of the original T.Rex foursome that didn’t (openly) call Marc a little freak when he first joined

-Marc getting a black eye, broken rib and busted nose after getting beaten up and immediately doing a fucking photoshoot to show how hot he was all roughed-up

-Marc hired Mickey before even asking if he knew how to play any instruments because he thought he was pretty

finally got my hands on Big Nobody (aka the book with the girl who talks to her 70s rockstar posters) and i am loving it so far the main character is a delight and of course marc dndjdjd check out his introduction

🤣🤣🤣

ok but how accurate is that characterization: “hilarious as well as spiritual and sexy” yes exactly

And david is there too, he and marc are buddies of course

“June Bolan took this snapshot of husband Marc Bolan with George Harrison (next to Pattie from behind?) while they were on holiday together with Ringo & Maureen. They are outside the famous Le Senequier Cafe restaurant in St. Tropez, in the South of France. Could that be Mick Fleetwood on the left? Details unknown - probably when the Harrisons and Starkeys were in France for the Cannes Film Festival? Picture posted at Something About Pattie Boyd yahoo group, from an e-bay auction. Edited by Lynn Mayes.”

According to meetthebeatlesforreal this was taken in 1972.

i have been greatly enjoying all the little leaks coming out of the 2028 biopics

[georgeharrisonsmiling]

Do you have a George's fun or new anecdote to share?

Eric Idle once tried to take David Bowie to Friar Park and George didn't admit him even when they were already in town.

[just-wanna-draw-em]

He’s over there hissing like a feral cat and making sure you know he’s handling the situation he cornered himself into extremely well, thank you.

Tell him how extremely well he is handling it.

Ringo Starr with Peter Tork, Davy Jones, and Micky Dolenz in a Pizza Hut commercial, 1995.

“Actually, I have a little story about that. One of the shots was: the three Monkees come in… Ringo says, ‘I’ll tell the lads it’s time to eat your pizza crust first,’ and Micky, Davy, and I walk in, and Ringo says, ‘Wrong lads.’ And so we’re setting up the shot with Ringo at the drums, and Micky, Davy, and I behind him with a piece of pizza in our hands. Ringo said something droll. I said (tongue-in-cheek), ‘Ringo, we’re the comedians, you’re just a musician. We’ll do the humor.’ Ringo said (imitates Liverpool accent), ‘I’ve been funny. People have laughed at me jokes.’” (Laughter)” - Peter Tork, Breakfast With The Beatles, June 2013 Q: “are you still close with your pals from the Monkees?” Peter Tork: “YES of course… we had dinner together when we did the Pizza Hut commercial… we don’t seek each other’s company out but when we are together we enjoy it very much!!!!” - Stein Online web chat, September 1995

one of my favorite ways marc bolan has been kept alive is when they play ‘celebrate summer’ in the diary of a wimpy kid dog days scene where they suck at tennis

I loved this movie before knowing what t.rex even was and now I love it even more

T.Rex live. This was the photo that was adapted for the cover of the 'Electric Warrior' album 1971.

Never one to miss out on an opportunity, in late '76, Marc changed his look once again and became 'Bolantino'.

As a teenager, Marc had been influenced by the Regency era dandy, Beau Brummell. Marc identified with Brummell's background, attitude and his description of himself as a 'living work of art'. Marc also considered himself to be a living work of art.

Looking back at the individuallity of Marc's dress sense and look. It's no stretch to see that Marc really was our equivalent of a modern day dandy.
