Episode 129: Songs Under the Microscope, Vol. 13– ”Badge” (Cream)

For our final episode of 2018, go under the microscope once more with us as we examine Cream's 1968 song "Badge," co-written by Eric Clapton and... L'Angelo Mysterioso? Find out who that is, what we think the song means, what's happening in the music, and of course, you'll hear some unusual covers (including a non-English version). 

Thanks for your support in 2018, and we look forward to even more Beatle fun in 2019!
