I truly love this song, but I have a strong, rather sad reaction to it (and I'm not a sad person)....always curious about my reaction to this one.

Wonder what song Harrison would have written had he known Clapton was crazy for his wife, Patty Boyde. Of course, everyone that met Patty fell in love with her. |

Actually co-written by L'Angelo Mysterioso (GH's nom du record) and EC. Everyone can tell where George's riff comes in after the chorus and before EC's solo. |

I heard this story years ago, always wondered if it's true. Either way, good story.

The name of this song came from Clapton's nearly illegible scribble on the top of the page that said "bridge?" , meaning he needed to write a bridge - aka "the middle 8" - which Harrison then took to be "Badge", the name of the song. He kept calling it "Badge", and it stuck. Kind of an inside joke. |

Some amazing versions.
Not that anyone will see this since the song hasn't been played for 2 years, yes I have the album. Took it to Hawaii to listen to on the plane and while tooling around the beaches. |

I think on one of Clapton's later records there is a version of this that is updated and just sweet.

I'd say a lot of Cream's stuff was overrated ("Tales of Brave Ulysses"? - eek), but this is definitely one of their best. Clapton does a cool live version where he rocks up the ending.

Have you ever had a song mysteriously appear in your head, only to hear that very song played later in the day? That just happened with this song. But in the interest of skepticism, i do hum this song to myself quite often.

Jumping around Jeff Hindman's dorm room in 10th grade wondering how in the world did they achieve that cool guitar solo? The solo was played over and over and over, probably damaging both Jeff's needle and the LP...
