by I never knew about the tragic story of Badfinger as they were not of my generation and they didn't make my type of music. The other day, though, I came across this video and it's an incredibly sad story. The singer / songwriters, Pete Ham and Tom Evans, were under enormous pressure, believing they had lost everything.
