No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: Marc Bolan of Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Then came Tyrannosaurus Rex, an acoustic duo featuring [Marc] Bolan and the percussionist Steve Peregrin-Took, but with the former evidently calling all the shots. Perhaps noting that Bolan was less committed to flower power idealism than he was to becoming famous, some areas of London’s hippie counterculture regarded him with a jaundiced eye (“He was a cocky little shit,” complains one underground luminary in Jonathon Green’s definitive oral history of the era, Days in the Life), but the music Tyrannosaurus Rex made was frequently extraordinary. For an acoustic duo with a penchant for whimsy, they seldom sounded laid back: their songs charge along chaotically, fuelled by riffs and an energy closer to early rock’n’roll than folk.

— Alexis Petridis, “Why Marc Bolan Was The Perfect Pop Star,” The Guardian (09/04/20)
