“I didn't know Marc Bolan well. Bowie knew him better. They'd been in a band together. Bolan had some extremely good singles, but I never listened to his albums. He was a great self-promoter. Always telling the British press how huge he was in the U.S. (when he wasn't). He was cheeky - engaging and rather pompous viz-a-vee his standing in British Rock. Still has vociferous supporters.”
