Joey Molland is a survivor and, when he looks back on how what started out as a rock and roll fantasy and then turned into a bona fide nightmare, he tries to remain upbeat. He concedes that the story was tragic but prefers to focus on the good times: "I had a great time. I was very happy with the band and what we were doing. It was a bit of an ideal situation for a guy like myself, in his early 20s."
Molland was one of three primary songwriters in Badfinger, revered by critics as one of the outstanding melodic pop bands of all time, proteges to the Beatles and the darlings of Apple Records. In the late 1960s, Badfinger stormed world pop charts with hits such as "Come and Get It", "No Matter What", "Day After Day" and "Baby Blue".
