20th Century Boy – The Marc Bolan Story
22.00, BBC Radio 2
It’s nearly the 35th anniversary of Marc’s death so here’s a show first made for the thirtieth anniversary. We’ve seen quite a lot of Bolan in recent months on Pops 76 and 77, where he was still faithfully showing up even if the chart positions were getting lower, and at the time of his death he was well into an interesting new phase of his career, touring with The Damned and enjoying proper critical acclaim for possibly the first time ever.
