London, 1972: An ordinary schoolgirl is pulled into the world of a fading rock star and becomes the secret weapon in a plan to revive his career in the time of glam. The mysteries of sex and songwriting, connivance, fame, family and the music business collide to bring her to a life she has never imagined. With a detailed and knowing historical background, Marc Bolan Killed in Crash is a musical romp through an all-but-forgotten pop era by a veteran American music journalist.

"Ira Robbins brings a lifelong immersion in pop music's wish fulfillment to this detailed and note-perfect recreation of a glitter-tinged moment of generational transformation in pre-punk 1970s England. He plays his characters like members of a band, each with their own verse and chorus, I found myself waiting for the soundtrack to come, singing along."
—Lenny Kaye, Patti Smith Group guitarist, journalist, author, producer

"In Marc Bolan Killed in Crash, Ira Robbins evokes the mood and mystery of the 70's Glam Rock n Roll zeitgeist."
—Clem Burke, Blondie drummer
