753.0. "The Good, The Badfinger, The Dead" by LUDWIG::WOOLDRIDGE (Zombie Wolf) Tue Jan 16 1996 16:35

    I suppose this is the correct conference for this entry & in fact this
    may not even be new news to anyone, but it suprised me. I was flipping
    around the radio dial, paused on a "classic rock station" and heard the
    end of a BADFINGER song.  I always kind of liked those guys during
    THAT era.  Post-Beatles deprivation perhaps?  Anyway, the DJ said TWO
    of the members committed suicide! I have no idea on details, which
    members or when this even happened.  But it was something I had never
    of.  So there you go.

	Interestingly enough, an "alternative rock" band called the S.F. Seals (with Barbara Manning) does a cover of a Badfinger tune called "Baby Blue" - so Badfinger lives on!
