NATIONAL CURRICULUM FEATURES MARC'S ROCK SHRINE
(Be Warned the Project is called "CRASH TEST DUMMIES: THE MARC BOLAN CRASH")

TRIPLE CROSSED TEACHING: Well who would have thought it? This took me back to a time when I was walking back from the school Dining Room (which was nowhere near the rest of the school in Ledbury). my friends & I were laughing at, & mocking the music of 'the older generation' which periodically forced its way into the charts & cluttered up Top Of The Pops. Suddenly a voice broke through our teenage girlie merriment & said "One day the music you like will be old fashioned!" It was Mrs. Southall who was not only my English Teacher, but was also my form teacher. She was determined to hammer the 'round peg' we arrived as at the age of eleven into the 'square hole' of the Grammar School 'expecations'. Of course her words have echoed down the years as music tastes have changed & I have always cursed her for that. But I can finally get my own back on the now presumably deceased Mrs. Southall with a raised finger & the words:-
"Old Fashioned? Now Marc Bolan is part of the Curriculum."

How I wish history had been this interesting when I was at school. I might have even paid attention to the coursework & not the transistor radio in my blazer pocket with the single cream coloured earpiece hidden by my hair :-) Laser Love, Fee xxxxx
