HOT GOBLINISM from the GET GO

one of the reason i MUST WRITE UP my MARK S LESSON on UNICORN = the continued annoying afterlife in the FALSE MEME than early t.rex wz a strand of folk hippyism

actually listening to these records -- esp. as. contrasted eg w.dreary dullards like the INCREDIBLE VERY USELESS STRING BAND or TRAFFIzzzzzzzzz --- proves that i. tyrannosaurus rex never sounded remotely like anyone before them, ii. the lyric content of bolan's songs (lets have sex w. anything mythical) never really changed iii. they were better than and difft to all the folk rock that came after also (in particular NICK "I am rubbish compared to my talented sister" DRAKE)

Mark wot songs of T-Rex were about doing it with anything mythical? And wot were these mythical things? Would he do it with ALL THE TOP 20 STRANGE PHENOMENA?

Well, he did go on abt RIDING white swans and BANGING gongs, but neither of them are particularly mythical innit?

Perhaps he fancied a tumble with the guy in the loincloth who banged the big MGM gong. Still, NOT MYTHICAL.

When I said this earlier, about them being part hippy-folk, I was thinking more along Donovan lines than Incredible String Band, let alone Traffic (how did they get in here?). Also, acoustic guitar = folk, attraction to magical = hippy, QED.

magic-as-SEXIER-than-nature = art-trumps-roots = NOT hippy, qed
