Badfinger: No Dice
Metal Mike Saunders, Creem, March 1971
IF YOU PRIDE yourself on being a member of the generation that battles hypocrisy, shuns prejudices and easy labels, and fights to the death to tell the pigs (boo) what it's all about (yay) – and won't listen to Badfinger's No Dice because they're a "teenybopper group," then it's your own tough luck.
