Nice song by Joey - a fine songwriter - but Bottomline on Kathie Molland - Mike Gibbins (who was there and saw it all) called her the "anti-christ" - SEARCH Gibbins Interview & Sean together. Also, Tommy Evans stated on tape that Kathie "killed" Pete Ham ( I'm sure it is figurative, meaning his "heart and soul.") And Kathie had a huge foul mouth on the internet and would to threaten to "hurt" people.

@popomatic1970 Well, you had a good personal experience with her, but to say she never had a bad word to say about the others, I guess you never saw her interview on the DVD trashing Tom Evans or have you read her bile on the internet, much of which still is on it. What a nasty foul-mouthed woman. Have you heard Mike Gibbins call her the "anti-christ" in an interview on the web! He was around for it all. And Tom Evans on a phone call said she "killed" Pete Ham. God knows what went down...

I read Paul Matovina's book, a he totally trashed Kathie throughout, but other people he interviewed did as well, including Tom, Mike and certain members of Natural Gas. All I can say is, we didn't personally know her, so we can't really judge. It's one of those had-to-be-there things. Take it as you want, but the woman died with warts like anyone else. Whatever kind of person she actually was, it's still a sad thing for Joey, and he seems like a decent guy.

I don't think there is a longer version ronfowlermusic because I messaged the director when he had a website years ago. He just added material at the end to all the versions. The VH1 Behind The Music was ten times better in telling the basic storyline. Not that it was perfect either. The Molland approved documentary ; Kathie bragged to be the definitive story. Not even close. Very amatuerish like their rushed BASIL project. That was a clear copycat move to Ham's 7 Park Avenue demos coming out.

@GraceBarrett I did think it was strange that they ended the documentary with Pete's death. Should've included the reformed Badfinger with Tom and Joey, and then Tommy's death. I can't blame that on the Molland's, though, may have been the director's decision. There is a longer version out there, but I haven't seen it. May buy it someday if the price comes down.

@ronfowlermusic It was more in the interviews sold, sorry. They left the background on Tommy's death out of the doc. It was a very shallow doc... that's my opinion. Also Kathie did say something about "our" check. That really struck me with what Pete did in quitting the band over Kathie getting involved in their business. Joey even said that many times!

[ronfowlermusic]

@GraceBarrett I don't remember anything disrespectful of Tommy in the documentary. There were differences of opinion, of course, but none of that takes away from the music.

[GraceBarrett]

@ronfowlermusic I thought that Kathie Molland character-assassinated Tom Evans after he was dead in the Mollands approved documentary. But I agree that this is not the ideal place to cast aspersions - whatever one's opinion.

[ronfowlermusic]

It's sad that even after her passing, certain parties persist in the character assassinations. Beautiful song, RIP Kathie.

[castletriglav]

So, two dumbasses kill themselves because they didn't understand the contract they signed? What fucking tards.
