We used to look down somewhat on the Bay City Rollers when I was a kid in the 70's but now their kind of cheerful pop brings back happy memories of more carefree times. I know Les had some not-so-good episodes during his life but he seemed to be past that more recently and thoroughly enjoying his music again. RIP Les, we'll miss your cheeky grin.

That's exactly how I thought of the BCR back in the 70's too, but their style brings back a lot of happy memories....

He spent the last years of his life trying to find out what happened to all the money from those record sales as the band (apparently) saw very little of it. They were managed by Tam Paton, a sort of Scottish Don Arden, which probably explains a lot.

Such a shame, there should be a special corner of Hell reserved for those greedy gits who swindled young artists out of their rightful riches. To this day I don't think Marc Bolan's family can acccess his money and in case of Badfinger two people took their own lives as a result of being robbed blind and left struggling to make ends meet.

Badfinger is a very sad story. They were innocently caught up in the chaos of the collapse of Apple Records and got royally screwed by their management. Tam Paton, by the way, turned out to be yet another revolting showbiz pervert and peadophile who abused dozens of victims. If there's any justice he's in that corner of Hell too.
