You made a point the book was biased - no, the friends of the Mollands are biased. Obvious from the supporting comments of the participants of the book and lack of any proof of anything wrong in the book in ten years. I buy it. The Molland's attitude proves what it portrays. They hassled the crap out of the other members. Check out the Gibbins interview on the web. It is amazing and scathing toward them. Matovina obviously went out of his way to be fair. Not squabbling.

A few friends of the Molands who are often vile when presssed and never have one fact to back anything. The book turned me into a huge fan and it has never had one thing disproven that I've seen. Joey is a great writer and decent guitarist, but he and his wife's inflammatory rhetoric never amounted to a hill of beans. It's a great band and a shame she got involved. The book is amazing. Read the reviews from the people involved on the book's website. There;s no way this book comes off biased, I've followed the situation for years.

So please, let's not export the squabbling to this site too. Oh yeah- before I forget, I was also very careful to say that a lot of people thought the book was great.

I bought both versions of Matovina's book. I read them. I thought they were informative AND biased against the Mollands. I think Dan's book was the start of a lot of ill will. I'm not saying he INTENDED it to be that way. But a lot of arguing and stuff started when the book came out. And, please be careful, I didn't say anyone hated Dan, I said they hated his book. There's a big difference there. There's all kinds of bad feeling flinging both ways as far as I can tell. I bought both versions of Matovina's book. I read them.

I particularly appreciate the generous mltimedia links.<br><br>That TV host in Milwaukee seems like he could have been the model for Krusty The Klown! It's worth noting that whatever embarrassment they may have felt they turned in a massive performance that night. Great overview, MIke. I particularly appreciate the generous mltimedia links.

Thank you. That book by Matovina is phenomenal, even-handed and likely sourced for this article. Any hate toward Matovina always comes from Joey and Kathie Molland - and they always say they never read the book - and Molland's tight buddies who are heavily abusive. Matovina is a class act. He's helped get a lot of Badfinger projects off the ground. Just check it out. Nice rundown of the band for the novice. Thank you.

I've seen him several times. He puts on a great show and is very accessible to the fans afterwards. He's also very meticulous about crediting songwriters on stage. This band has a very fractious hardcore following with many die-hard fans really hating Matovina's book and others thinking Matovina did a great job and only has the band's legacy in mind. I think your article here is very good and (with the exception of calling Kathie the Yoko of the story - after all Kathie may have pushed, but she WAS pushing against S.P. - the evil manager, a fact which ought to redeem her in my mind) even-handed.
