They way they'd dressed. the way their hair fell over their coat collars. It all happened because of music I wanted to know why. I couldn't go to Somerset on my own so I used. Top of the pops as my World Atlas. In 1974 I bought my first single from Woollies in Redhill. I started to memorise the charts to memorise the leagues.

A few weeks and music wouldn't have to be so private. it would be there for. Me. It would be there for me and when I was married and when. I had kids. Would Marc Bolan still be so important.
