My 20th Century Boy

Growing up I was exposed to a diverse cross-section of music, mostly because of my older brothers, especially Ken, who was really the music guru in the house. Still is, actually, as one of his former bands has a myspace page. But to a young girl it was the glamour of the lead singer that attracted my interest and when I was 8 and 9 years old (a few decades ago) one of the bands I was interested in was T. Rex. Okay, I liked Bobby Sherman and the Partridge Family too, but no one was as cool as Marc Bolan. I even wanted to marry him, and I would have pursued this (of course) if he hadn't died in a tragic car accident in September 1977. Below is a picture of Marc Bolan:

DN2 as the youngest of my children has been exposed to a diverse cross-section of music, mostly because of her older brothers and her older sister, who also serves as the music director at the college radio station. To a young girl of 8, it is the glamour of the lead singer that is so attractive and one of the bands she is interested in is My Chemical Romance and lead singer Gerard Way. I guess it's true. The apple does not fall far from the tree.
