Personal Struggle: Marc Bolan’s fame was starting to cool by this era, forcing him to face the brutal shift from teen-idol mania to a press already looking for the next thing.
-
Media Narrative: Tanx pushed T. Rex past simple glam-boogie image, with Bolan trying to stretch the mythology before punk and changing tastes made him seem old fast.
