I whole heartedly agree, T.Rex was amazing, but that scene of Velvet Goldmine with Brian singing 20th Century Boy is great

i think this song is about being a 20th century boy...about holding out your hand while you drive...and about evrybody saying that being a 20th century boy is "fine"

I loved the live version Orgy did while they were on tour with Love & Rockets in 1999. w0w. *sigh* Jay Gordon should work with Placebo sometime. . .

There's a bit of a debate over whether it's "everybody says it's just like Robin Hood" vs. "everybody says it's just like Rock 'n' Roll". And. Um. Yeah.

Yep. Velvet Goldmine, greatest movie ever. Hah, I'm amused at the fact that Molko had tight leather pants on, but you know.. that's just me. ;x But yeah, I could just be biased, but I like the Trex version better.

It actually says "Everybody says it's just like rock 'n' Roll" AND "Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood". I love this song. I also love Velvet Goldmine. Best movie EVER.
