Actually, I think this story was buried deep in my memory. Terribly sad. I have three (all?) CDs by Badfinger and really think that they were great. At the time (early 1970s) I was more into heavy stuff (Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, etc.) but really enjoyed Badfinger's work.

Speaking of "heavy stuff" I have most/all of Black Sabbath and AC/DC in my CD collection and the younger generation (my wife's daughters) are horrified when they hear that. I'm reminded of Dave Edmunds' song "I Knew the Bride When She Used to Rock & Roll." I used to rock and roll -- and every once in a great while, I still break out the AC/DC or Black Sabbath (at age 75.)

But then every once in a great while I break out my Beijing opera cassette tapes -- most Westerners consider those to be the equivalent of somebody torturing a cat!

For those of you who just got a bunch of "likes" from me, I did a deep dive into this thread and really enjoyed the music! Thank you!

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Learning to Fly

Which reminds me of how much I miss Tom and George Harrison -- I really enjoy the Traveling Wilburys... In fact, I miss so many wonderful artists. Do they die young because of the rock and roll lifestyle?

I must admit I didn't know Tom Petty had passed at the age of nearly 67 and George Harrison was attacked by a madman who broke into his home and stabbed him in chest which certainly didn't help his life expectancy.
Being a rock and roll star has some downsides for sure.

Some good old rock 'n' roll, Doors style.



Another great artist who died too early.
