Mister no Revolution

Before T. Rex assaulted the world with their glam rock party in the early '70s, there was the folk duo Tyrannosaurus Rex. Although both bands were fronted by flamboyant singer/guitarist/songwriter Marc Bolan, the earlier outfit was the polar opposite of the style of music that would later become synonymous with Bolan. Tyrannosaurus Rex originally formed in September of 1967 as a duo after Bolan split from his previous band, John's Children. Joining Bolan in the band was percussionist/bongo player Steve Peregrin Took, a gentleman that Bolan named after a character in The Lord of the Rings novel series. Bolan was so infatuated with Rings that most of the subject matter in Tyrannosaurus Rex songs came directly from the books as well.

However, its title, "Dazibao" - the wall journals on which the Red Guards wrote their (sic) opinions - and its container (titles and comments by the pianist) fit perfectly into the context of the time which some saw , in the West, to be passionate about, and to support the cultural revolution in progress. Obviously, François Tusques, neither more nor less than many others, was mistaken about what this “revolution” really was and History was going to demonstrate to us, over time, the brutal nature of the regime of whoever joined the table. of the great dictators of the 20th century.
