Event Details
Born 70 years ago and just months apart in
Stoke Newington and Brixton, Marc Bolan and David Bowie turned the world of
popular music upside down. Sharing a trajectory that took them from
shiny-booted mods to androgynous troubadours, Bolan and Bowie would finally
strike gold as fully-fledged glam rock superstars in the early
1970s. Forty years on from Bolan’s tragic death in a car crash, Paul
Morley, arts commentator and author of The Age of Bowie, joins writer
Travis Elborough to discuss their parallel pop lives and their enduing cultural
legacies.
