Marc Bolan and cooking fat !
There is a debate going on between myself and a friend of mine.
My friend reckons that there was a connection between T. Rex (Marc Bolans' group) and Trex cooking fat (lard) - maybe lending his records to advertise Trex. I say that there was no such thing. Who is right ? |

You are.
Marc Bolan formed Tyrannosaurus Rex in 1968, but only had a following amongst hippies. When Bolan wanted to change direction, become poppier and appeal more to teenage girls he shortened the name to T-Rex, so it would be easier for those teenage girls to pronounce. That cooking fat theory is complete and utter rubbish. |

The link was a joke by Eric Morecambe on a Morecambe and Wise show from the 70s. There was no other link.
