[peel] Hippies waxing lyrical? John's in on it (2,6,4,4,3,3,3,2,5,4...3,3,4'2,7,2,4,5,2,5,5)

[rockerq@...]

Perhaps I need to explain for younger listeners "My people were fair...etc etc" was the 1968 debut album by Marc Bolan's hippy band Tyrannosaurus Rex - John Peel and Marc were great friends at this time, and Peelie reads a story in one track, and also contributed liner notes for the album.

GOT IT!

My people were fair and had sky in their hair...but now they're content to wear stars on their brows

Phew... had to dredge up some early 70s memories from when I slavishly bought the reissued Tyrannosaurus Rex albums after the success of T.Rex - Took me a while but I did get into them...

I think the clue must be in the apostrophe - a 'they're' or a 'they've' ?

Cheers Steve always good to unearth these early nuggets. PS was something crawling over the number pad of your keyboard when you were sending that....

Hi gang
In the last week, I've been contacted by a kind gent who wishes to share a couple of early previously unavailable Peel files, and promises more, so many thanks to him.
17 March 1972. From a Friday Night Is Boogie Night, Genesis' first session and some JP links.
09 November 1972. Top Gear: a couple of Roxy Music session tracks and more of John.
Best wishes
Steve (TK)
