Marc Bolan: The Groover
The saga of Marc Bolan (born 30 September, 1947 - died 16 September, 1977), leader of glam rock group T. Rex, is one of a spunky little dreamer who looked and played the part of an elvish minstrel.
His bizarre voice and songs were dismissed by critics as a fleeting novelty or, worse, a bad joke. His most laughable trait of all was a near mystical belief in his own importance and destiny. In short, a surefire loser who played by rules all his own and went on to become the biggest pop star in Britain.
From "The British Invasion - From The First Wave To The New Wave" by Nicholas Schaffner.

- Jeepster: a charming average guy, who is willing to go anywhere for the object of his affection---namely, a "jaguar" (a "jaguar" is a super hot girl).

- I am right now writing a literacy autobiography and how I came into wanting to learn more about literacy and I am doing mine on Marc. I am only 32 but when my father heard that I was listening to a lot of classic rock he suggested T. Rex so when I found a tape called Electric Warrior I bought it and the rest is pretty much history I simple fell in love with his music and especilly his lyrics. I have very heard words that he used in my life it was just so intreging that I had to know what he was saying so that is what I did started looking up words and expanded my vocabulary. He was great and it would have been wonderful to have him still around today with all that has gone on with music he I beleve would have made some very creative work (as if he already not :-D). And by chance if anyone knows FOR SURE the defination to jeepster please type it in. I am quit positive the meaning is: planly or simply. I'm just a jeepster for your love. I'm just simply for your love?
