Tuomala Retracts A Pretty Good Cheap Shot

"A few years back I bought The Best of Badfinger and now only program three songs on my CD player - "No Matter What," "Day After Day," and "Baby Blue." But I guess anthology EPs would be asking for too much from the recording industry."

I wrote the above back in 1998 and need to double back on myself (yet again.) This year I popped The Best of Badfinger back into the CD player and love it. I know ten years ago I didn't "get" the Beatles and so certaintly didn't "get" some powerpop like Badfinger. But these days ... well, it's spring and I might have to spin side one of Raspberries' Best before I hit the hay tonight.
