Tuesday Glam Blogging

Ah, yes -- it's the original Leather Bar Keebler Elf.



And a nice Jewish boy, to boot.

I think, on balance, this is my favorite T.Rex song.

    Yep. That's a killer opening riff for sure. Methinks I'm more of a "The Groover" or "Telegram Sam" man.

    Believe it or not, I had never heard the thing until it got used in a commercial a few years ago.

    That riff is such a grabber....

    I have a friend who is a T-REX fanatic, so I've been steeped in all things Bolan for a number of years. Have you heard the John's Children stuff like "Desdemona"?

    KC --

    Desdemona's on the Rhino Nuggets II box, right?

    I guess I could have put T-Rex in as my band I have never heard. I mean, I heard Bang a Gong, but until this video, that was it.

    Color me deprived.

    But the slow turn he does for the camera in the last part of the reminds me a bit too much of some of the preening of Prince.

    My favorite is "Planet Queen" with Flo & Eddie doing backing vocals.

    Planet Queen
    Perchance to dream
    She used my head
    Like a revolver
