You can see Marc Bolan almost anywhere and walk away with the same impression. You’ll think he looks cherubic, not a little elfin, and that he is decidedly beautiful — though not a twinge at the realization that he knows, capitalizes on this, has made it his career.

It all comes naturally to him, you’re thinking, and in the next minute you realize that that is precisely what you’re supposed to think.
