Reel To Reel: Angelheaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan and T. Rex

 MODERATED BY LYNDSEY PARKER

 

The GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to present a special screening and the Los Angeles premiere of Angelheaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan and T. Rex in the Museum’s intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater with a post-screening panel discussion featuring Marc Bolan’s partner and musical collaborator Gloria Jones, his son Rolan Bolan, director Ethan Silverman, recording engineer Marc Urselli, and musician/author Richard Barone to talk about the creative process behind the film. Following the screening, there will be an acoustic performance featuring Barone and Rolan Bolan to close the evening.

A leader of the glam-rock movement and an early champion of punk, Marc Bolan was always ahead of the curve. This was both an advantage and a stumbling block for the mop-headed T. Rex bandleader, whose unique approach to pop songcraft is highlighted in Angelheaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan and T. Rex produced by Hal Willner

Director Ethan Silverman initiated both the creation of this documentary and the 2020 Marc Bolan tribute album of the same name. This gave him intimate access, both to those who knew Bolan best and to the musicians who were profoundly impacted by his work.

The list of Bolan acolytes just happens to include some of the biggest names in music, and U2, Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Ringo Starr, Nick Cave, and Elton John are all on hand to celebrate his work in interviews and performance footage. These combine with archival footage to trace Bolan’s life from his teenage years digging through Carnaby Street dustbins with David Bowie to his tragic death at the age of 29.
