I love what Bolan says about seeing other guitarists hitting bum notes and realizing that not even our heroes are "good all the time." That is so true. Picasso once said that for every "masterpiece" of his hung in a gallery or museum, there are many terrible paintings we will never see that helped him get to that masterpiece. This is such a wise and essential quote for our obsessed world of "perfection" that people project on social media. Wabi-sabi and the art of accepting imperfection are beautiful things to embrace.
I've read Nick Kent's book, but this Bolan one is a fun article, that I haven't seen before. Thanks for sharing it with us!
