I was glad to hear Marc Bolan and T-Rex would be inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame's Class of 2020. Some feel the honor is long overdue, as Bolan has been credited with influencing a generation of rockers, most famously, his pal David Bowie. Sadly, we lost Bolan in 1977 at the age of 29, but his music lives on. On September 4, 2020 his music will be reinterpreted for AngelHeaded Hipster a collection of his songs reimagined by U2 featuring Elton John "Bang A Gong (Get It On)", Joan Jett "Jeepster", and many more.
You can hear Nick Cave's interpretation of "Cosmic Dancer" below.
