This is a fabulous interview with Tom Evans, who, along with Pete Ham, was one of the guiding lights of the seminal band Badfinger. Evans traces Badfinger's origins -- from the formation of the Iveys through their Apple Records signing, the success of the Paul McCartney-penned "Come and Get It," and their phenomenal Straight Up and No Dice records. The Story of Badfinger is a lot more than success, however. Mismanagement, the chaotic nature of Apple, and the suicide of Pete Ham all create a very real drama. Evans covers all of this and more here with honesty, humor, and pathos. The saddest part is that Evans himself committed suicide just a year after this interview. ~ Matthew Greenwald|
