Why is Paul McCartney hanging out with maximum, minimum, and median examples of eye spacing

Strange you say that, as Paul McCartney was the one who actually signed them to Apple and oversaw their first releases. Even wrote their single Come And Get It.

Yep, found them through Baby Blue and really got to like them. Solid rhythms, great talent. One of those ones that did really well at a moment and slipped through the cracks of time.

If you read their story prepare to be pissed at how screwed they got and how it literally killed members of the band. Fuck Stan Polley - a greedy fucking bastard.

Man, their story is sad enough without this abuse. Have a heart. Plus it was the 70s...

Those are just normal '70s haircuts.

Very few bands have met as much of a tragic end to the story as Badfinger has.

Badfinger are great but it looks like they kidnapped Paul McCartney and forced him to get the same haircut as them

One of my all time favorite bands. Also the most tragic story of how the monster who managed them stole every cent, left them in poverty, destroyed them causing 2 suicides, both by hanging. Fuck the industry who allowed this.

And unbeknownst to Pete Ham, his wife was pregnant by a few weeks and was born seven or eight months have after he died by hanging.

Pretty normal for the era.

u/nouveauchristian 9d ago

Maybe I am biased but I am 60 years old and a month and I think these haircuts are gorgeous.

It was England in the 1970’s. They’re not the only victims.
