Well... as talented as Bolan obviously was he was also a bit self obsessed. He had ego i believe even before his big successes and of course that ego only grew bigger and bigger.

[@jimlan801]

I can't access the relevant thread below to reply directly to anitasseo or Dave Wray but of course it is true that June was with Syd Barrett (throughout 1967) before Marc Bolan. This won't be news to a lot of people. Her own thoughts on it are documented. She worked as Pink Floyd's secretary, and Marc (as a big fan of Syd Barrett) used to hang out at the Blackhill office (according to Dave Gilmour). I think the Barrett influence is evident in his image, and some aspects of his early writing. So June was a very important partner for each of them, and a very concrete link between the two.

I read a newspaper article from early 1978 of June talking about Marc and in it she says she and Marc conceived a child twice but had abortions due to the pregnancies happening during the height of Marc's fame and she believed a child would've destroyed their relationship. Obviously June had a right to do what she liked with her body as it's no one else's business what the two of them decided to do, but Marc and June would've had the most beautiful children together

[@tracyhill4550]

June loved Marc up till the day she died. Yes they fell for each other rather quickly, it does happen for people. I believe from everything I've heard and read about, Marc loved Gloria and June. I try not to pass judgement on their lives. No one really knows the truth but the three of them. I'm very intrigued by Marc's life, he was a talented genius. And yes I believe he done things to make it as far as he did at the time. Things happen for a reason. Then I see people bashing Gloria. I often wonder if it's because she was black. She was very talented as well. She lost the man she loved, and her signing career from that accident. She lost everything but the Son she had to Marc. Give the poor woman a break, she has been through enough. Had to raise her son in poverty alone, if it wasn't for David Bowie and his financial influence and I'm sure Marc's family's support he wouldn't been without anything. Rolan is a very talented person like his parents. Just let them be and enjoy the music and the man who made it. Stop trashing the people he loved. He is gone but his music lives on.

They wouldn't have had time to raise a child. All June ever did was do what was best for Marc and had his best interests at heart.

Thats a lie. Gloria did all the damage. She killed Marc and then played the victim..

He put a little glitter on his cheeks and so Bowie copied him?! Ok so he put glitter on his cheeks first but I don't see Bowie needing him at all. Yes, Bowie and all musicians-are influenced by others and then become the influencers. Sure they must of had an impact. The Who mentions them in 81 on "You Better You Bet"and Bowie mentions them in one of his songs. It's too bad they didn't have more success in the US.

+Ricky Rhoades Indeed..Bolan in turn was highly influenced by Elvis, Little Richard, Cliff Richard ,Keith Richard(s), Eddie Cochran and eventually a host of 60's artists ,prominently Dylan.. I wouldn't necessarily state _"he stuck his head out"_,but then, June's (bless her soul) recollections understandably might have been a bit biased.

[@sonia55408]

Yeah, especially when Bowie released Space Oddity in July 1969 and Marc Bolan released "Ride a White Swan" as a single October 1970. This does not support him doing it first. I guess it's what he needed to tell himself as things were not going so well...

[@friendofsyd]

I believe the influence started with Lou reed, who wasn't putting make up on for show.......I would say syd Barrett was the first brit to put the eyeliner on....

[@pwatts8846]

Space Oddity was not a hit until 1973. It was Starman that broke Bowie.

[@annwhite2346]

Space oddity was a hit in 1969. It reached number 5 in the UK charts, after being used on the moon landing TV coverage.

Marc Bolan as a woman

June Child is a female red Spirit, Amalgat, as a human. She is the God Hera. Roger Waters is a Yellow Spirit as a human. He is the God Zeus.
