Bolan and Moony were of course two white rabbits which Kate helped 
look after at school. They sadly met an untimely end when Bolan 
was run over by the school minibus and Moony overdosed on lettuce leaves. 
It was the trauma of these experiences which caused Kate to become 
a vegetarian and later to immortalize them in song. 
 
Incidently, it was during the same period that Kate was also given
4 pet mice called John, Paul, George and Ringo who had a similarly
influential impact upon her later work. She had to split them up however
after John was eaten by her cat Rocket.
