Badfinger-Wish You Were Here

Wish You Were Here

Made back in the days when there were two sides to an album, side one of “Wish You Were Here” was one of the best in history. It’s amazing to me that as our attention span grew shorter, albums got longer – 20 minutes of perfection was do-able, 40 minutes was tough but possible, 60 minutes an exercise in futility.

We all know that life isn’t necessarily fair, but it’s not supposed to kill you. It’s been almost 40 years and the Badfinger tragedy still hurts.

Keepers:

Just A Chance
You’re So Fine
Got To Get Out Of Here
