Born To Rock...
Sep. 30th, 1947 - The late Mark Feld (aka Marc Bolan), lead singer of T.Rex, was born... sadly, he died in 1977, just a couple of weeks before his 30th birthday...
"Metal Guru"... one of my favourites - and if you click on the T.Rex label below this post, you'll find my other 2 favourites...

It's worth reading his entry in Wikipedia, and seeing some of the facts about him and the band...
For example:
- T.Rex reached number 2 in the charts 4 times, and 3 times they were kept off the top spot by "novelty" records - by Clive Dunn (got to be "Granddad"), Benny Hill (I'm thinking "Ernie..." and Little Jimmy Osmond (bloody "Long-Haired Lover From Liverpool", it's got to be!).
- He had predicted that he wouldn't live to see 30, and that he would die in a car crash... Because of this, he had a fear of cars, and never learned to drive. Immediately after the crash that killed him, his home was looted.
