Bikers & Hippies...1960's grimy documentary about modern day outlaw

"As tough as they look, not one of these cat's can cut in modern day society...and they like it like that" So says the verging on the crazed voice over to the intro to this bizarre documentary about the menace that was BIKERS & HIPPIES!!

If you want it...The Badfinger Story

They were poised to be the 70's answer to the fab four. Their first hit was a Macca original, they penned the huge pop balled "Without You" later taken to the top by Harry Nillson and Mariah Carey. George Martin, Todd Rungren and George Harrison produced some of their finest work, they had the power pop world at their feet. So you may ask...what happened? The story is stranger and more tragic than you can begin to imagine. Dressed up here in the "Behind the Music" gloss, the story of Badfinger is gripping and poignant none the less...all this and they were Welsh!!
