@@kimsullivan5576 Unfortunately, a genius that never got recognized the way he deserved. Last week i've hearded 'Magic Christian Music' and 'No Dice' with one friend, he said Pete was good, but not a genius, he also said that Pete was a weird person and also made jokes about him. It's sad and frustrating, because it's almost like people don't know how difficult it was to master the art of music like Pete did, and how much troubles he had to face against. Pete was a strong man just like Tommy, they both are jamming in heaven with Mike, John Lennon and George Harrison. About his songwriting ability i can even say he was in pair with Sir. Paul McCartney's songwriting ability. Maybe, after my friend takes a listen to Straight Up, he'll start to understand why Pete was a genius. Also, about his personality, Bob Jackson described him as a lovely person, which fits him perfectly. I think Pete was a strong person, who fighted against his troubles, and always had a way to keep himself optimistic. Maybe, if we all knew about this situation from the start, we could've helped him.

@thomascalamo4236 4 месяца назад

Thank you for posting. This is a gift for us Badfinger fans. As a foot note to the second management contract prior to the Warner contract, the band was advised not to resign with Polley,. It’s unknown what pressure was put on the band to sign, but the long term saw the negative end results. The entertainment business is a double edged sword, sometimes extremely good or absolutely awful. In the case of Badfinger they had so much to offer. If Pete and Tom were still alive, Badfinger could have easily gone on for another 5 to 10 years.

@cavaleiro747 4 месяца назад

@@cavaleiro747 Back in those days, you didn't have instant communication and information. As far as music was concerned, there was really only the Rolling Stone to convey popular music. Badfinger received a lot of airplay around 1970, but in America, people didn't really know who they were. They were comparisons to the Beatles, but only because they were on Apple Records. The Beatles as a group, and the 4 as Solo acts, were still the biggest story in any music scene. But musically, Badfinger was as good as anybody. But they weren't the media darlings of other pop acts and certainly not the Beatles.

Just explaining: Ron is a good person, but someone must have made him believe that uploads of Unofficial Badfinger Content screws the band (Which is not the case, considering the fact that there's a ton of Badfinger content that is turning slowly into a Lost Media, and we need to preserve it).
