Todd "The Fixer" Rundgren- sounds like he could have been a gangster.

Such a perfect fit for the Breaking Bad finale.

It's been one of my favorite songs for decades. It's a true pop masterpiece. And I didn't know that Rundgren produced it either! As much as it was a perfect fit for the Breaking Bad finale, I'm kind of bummed, because I can't hear the song without imagining crystal meth!😀

I know what you mean. I guess we have to try to associate it with Joey Molland and the families of the other band members from that original Badfinger lineup hopefully getting some benefit from the surge in sales, given the band had fallen apart and had huge financial and legal problems from bad management and the breakup of Apple.

I love the song too. It really takes me back. Brilliant tune.
