  T. Rex (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bolan retained the services of percussionist Steve "Peregrin" Took and the duo began producing eccentric, pastoral, and folk-tinged ditties steeped in Tolkienian mythology, with spiritual homages to Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran thrown into the mix for good measure.
Bolan and his girlfriend June Child (ex-girlfriend of the late Syd Barrett) were living a quiet life, while Took had fully embraced the anti-commercial/community spirited/drug-taking ethos of the UK Underground scene centered around Ladbroke Grove.
Bolan was a crusader for punk rock, which led him to invite many punk artists to appear on his TV show.

In the end we decided to let her just release it, we are of course a Marc Bolan site but one that is not looking to confuse people into thinking we, in any way, have a "ownership" of Marc's name or Legacy.
Also the year 2000 I think has ushered in a new desire by all the various Bolan factions to turn the 21st Century into one of joining hands and in keeping with this spirit the jumping point was the "BOLANFEST 2000" get together put together by George Rab.

Live in concert, T. Rex leader and guitarist Marc Bolan was a sight to behold, Les Paul guitar in hand, strutting across the stage, rockin out on classics like “Bang A Gong (Get It On)”, “Telegram Sam” and much more.
In addition to the ‘72 London shows, the best bits here include live in the studio video clips of Bolan with Ringo on drums and Elton John on piano and a fine documentary conducted by Bolan’s son Rolan Bolan.
The younger Bolan eagerly pursues his dad’s legacy with intriguing in the studio interviews with various T. Rex cohorts including long time producer Tony Visconti, who extensive memory of working with T. Rex is still sharp as a tack.
