I see there's a new musical opening about Marc, who I knew long before his success. He used to come around to this very house and sit on this very floor, singing me new songs like Deborah (I didn't know him in the John's Children era). The imitation Bolan in the musical doesn't look at all like him to me.

I'm rather surprised numerous ladies in their 60s haven't applied for compensation. But then many things surprise me about the world today.

Would you care to elaborate re compensation?

He had, by his own admission, a lot of time for groupies. He's dead. The perfect essentials for claims, whether false or not. It has astonished me that we've not been deluged with claims against rich, dead pop stars. It was a very different time in the sixties. Since the media and the law has discovered this terrific way of getting great stories with no down side at all, except the reputation of past stars, I'm astonished that it hasn't exploded yet.

It will, of course, it will. Say goodbye to your memories. And hello to history, rewritten by liars.

I always thought he sounded like a lamb being masturbated. Not that I've heard one of those. But I suspect it's not quite as bad as Bolan singing 'Deborah'.
