The Soothsayer's Song... Marc Bolan’s Eerie Premonition... #shorts
In the realm of human fascination, few subjects elicit as much debate and intrigue as the ability to see the future. Through history, individuals (such as Nostrodamus) claim to possess the extraordinary gift of second sight, unveiling tantalizing glimpses into a world yet to unfold, sparking profound contemplations on the nature of destiny, free will, and the elusive line that separates prophecy from coincidence. Glam Rocker Marc Bolan was 29 when he was killed on September 16 1977. He died instantly when the car he was in - driven by his girlfriend Gloria Jones - hit a tree.
In the song 'Solid Gold Easy Action' he seemed to foreshadow his own death. The opening line begins: "Life is the same and it always will be / Easy as picking foxes from a tree." Marc's choice to link a tree and spea...

Marc Bolan - T-Rex, life and death of a glam rock superstar
Marc Bolan l; born Mark Feld; 30 September 1947 – 16 September 1977) was an English musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, and poet. He is known as one of the pioneers of the Glam Rock movement of the early 1970s with his band T-Rex.
T. Rex's first single "Ride a White Swan" which went to number two in the UK singles chart. Bolan's March 1971 appearance on the BBC's music show Top of the Pops, wearing glitter on the face for the UK chart topper "Hot Love", is cited as the beginning of the glam rock movement. Music critic Ken Barnes called Bolan "the man who started it all". T. Rex's 1971 album Electric Warrior, with all songs written by Bolan, has been described by AllMusic as "the album that essentially kick-started the UK glam rock craze."

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.
Marc Bolan is best known as the frontman of T Rex. In the early 70s, he and the band led a musical movement known as glam rock, which combined heavy hooks with extravagant displays of fashion. T Rex would experience critical and commercial success in their native UK during this time and would also prove extremely influential in America. By 1977, following a brief commercial decline, the band were in the midst of a strong comeback, but Bolan would die in a serious car wreck at 29 years old. While the crash itself was undisputed, it turns out that the circumstances around the crash contrasted with what was first reported. That’s what we’ll discuss in today’s video.
Bolan was born Mark Feld on September 30th, 1947, in the east London borough of Hackney, to an English mother\ Ashkenazi Jewish father. Both parents came from a working-class background, with his mother operating a food stall on Berwick Street Market at the time, while his father was a truck driver. Although that meant that the family sometimes struggled to make ends meet, Bolan nonetheless had a happy childhood with his older brother Harry. Harry would comment on the time his brother’s larger-than-life presence took shape when he was five years old, recalling in the documentary Marc Bolan, The Final Word,
“He would adopt a frontman [persona] like Clark Kent and Superman, and his first one was Mighty Joe Young. He was the big gorilla and nobody could beat him. He [always had] a front, and ‘Marc Bolan’ was [one of them],” he’d say.
The family would relocate to Wimbledon, and it was at this point that Bolan was drawn to music. By age 9, his mother bought him his first guitar, and after a few years of simple strumming, he’d gradually become proficient by teaching himself how to play. According to Bolan, the 1956 film The Girl Can’t Help It, would fuel his ambitions for becoming a rockstar. Realizing that his instrument could supplement as a fashion accessory while he moved around, he’d take a cue from some of his rock n’ roll heroes, saying,
“I remember seeing Eddie Cochran. The way he held his guitar, unmoved, looked good. Little Richard put his foot on the piano, and I thought that was outrageous. I thought Elvis was the man, because he really used to wiggle his bum…and that influenced me incredibly. I was impressed with the fact that he always had a guitar [on him]. That, to me, was the ultimate showman thing, just sort of pushing it behind his back and throwing it around.”
By August 1965, the 18-year-old musician made inroads in the music industry, signing a contract with Decca Records under the moniker Marc Bowland. He’d then adopt a popular folk-rock sound similar to artists like Donovan and Bob Dylan, and materialize it with the help of session musicians, but his first two singles, “The Wizard'' and its follow-up in 1966, “The Third Degree,” failed to make any impact, which resulted in him being dropped from the label. He had also been changing the stylization of his name several times up to this point. In the book Marc Bolan: The Rise and Fall of a 20th Century Superstar, it’s said that the earliest instance involved changing the ‘k’ in his birthname, Mark Feld, to a ‘c’. As for how he’d eventually get to ‘Bolan’, the most common theory is stated by his brother Harry, who’d recall,
“Around this time, Mark was very friendly with the actor James Bolam. They fell out shortly afterwards, and I had a feeling it’s because Mark used his name as an inspiration.”
Actor Riggs O’Hara agreed, adding,
“Mark just changed the ‘m’ to an ‘n’… [and] liked the sound of it. He couldn’t understand why Jimmy was upset. He thought it was absolutely ridiculous that Jimmy thought he was going to be as big as Mark was. Mark always knew that he was going to be famous,” O’Hara would say.
By late 1966, things would start to look up for Bolan, as he’d successfully convinced legendary producer and manager Simon Napier-Bell to record him by himself with just his acoustic guitar. Napier-Bell soon became Bolan’s manager, and using his c

In the realm of human fascination, few subjects elicit as much debate and intrigue as the ability to see the future. Through history, individuals (such as Nostrodamus) claim to possess the extraordinary gift of second sight, unveiling tantalizing glimpses into a world yet to unfold, sparking profound contemplations on the nature of destiny, free will, and the elusive line that separates prophecy from coincidence. Glam Rocker Marc Bolan was 29 when he was killed on September 16 1977. He died instantly when the car he was in - driven by his girlfriend Gloria Jones - hit a tree.
In the song 'Solid Gold Easy Action' he seemed to foreshadow his own death. The opening line begins: "Life is the same and it always will be / Easy as picking foxes from a tree." Marc's choice to link a tree and speaking about life in one breath is eerily spooky when understanding how he died.
It also came to light after his demise that the license plate on the car that the hitmaker was killed in was 'FOX 661L' - making the idea of him penning about a tree and fox years prior to his passing even more unusual. The talented musician never learnt to drive and had no plans to get a license - as he feared that he would die in car. Marc also famously said he was “too beautiful to live and too young to die" - possibly suggesting he knew he would not live to old age.
His favourite painting was by Rene Magritte, It’s title is September 16th, the subject... a tree.. Apparently, Marc inquired into purchasing the painting.
In the aftermath, as the world mourned the loss of a vibrant talent, debates ensued, fueling speculation about the true nature of these chilling coincidences. Was it a mere compilation of chance occurrences, a series of random events converging into a tragic finale? Or did Bolan possess a dormant ability to glimpse into the future, unknowingly leaving breadcrumbs of his own fate for the world to decipher?
The line between coincidence and premonition blurs, leaving us with a haunting question that lingers in the air: was Marc Bolan's death a matter of chance or a haunting forecast? As you delve into this eerie narrative, unravel the enigma yourself, explore the depths of belief and skepticism, contemplate the limits of human understanding in the face of inexplicable events.
Is it mere chance, random occurrences that align coincidentally with vague predictions?

Marc Bolan l; born Mark Feld; 30 September 1947 – 16 September 1977) was an English musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, and poet. He is known as one of the pioneers of the Glam Rock movement of the early 1970s with his band T-Rex.
T. Rex's first single "Ride a White Swan" which went to number two in the UK singles chart. Bolan's March 1971 appearance on the BBC's music show Top of the Pops, wearing glitter on the face for the UK chart topper "Hot Love", is cited as the beginning of the glam rock movement. Music critic Ken Barnes called Bolan "the man who started it all". T. Rex's 1971 album Electric Warrior, with all songs written by Bolan, has been described by AllMusic as "the album that essentially kick-started the UK glam rock craze."
Bolan died in a car crash two weeks before his 30th birthday. In 1977, a memorial stone and bust of Bolan, Marc Bolans Rock Shrine, was unveiled at the site where he died in London. His musical influence as guitarist and songwriter was profound; he inspired many later acts over the following decades. As a member of T. Rex, Bolan was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020.
