I've always thought so, too.
Posted elsewhere on YouTube:
"George Harrison co-wrote this song. He also played the rhythm guitar on this track. As well as the beautiful guitar part at 1:08"

harrison tells clapton "i was looking at your song 'badge'"...clapton laughs.."those are the chords, not the name"...they took the joke further and named the song "badge". the notes b,a,d,g, and e are the chords to the song.

They were kinda wasted when they wrote the song, and clapton missread Harrison's handwriting and thought "Bridge" said "Badge"
Don't ask how :|

What made this band great is the rhythmic elements. Right at the edge of chaos, but always fully in control, they could run in & out & take you for a ride.
Yes Clapton is a great guitar player, but for me guitar gets boring if there is no bottom.
The booming drums, & fills + that addictive creeping bass-line hooked me straight away.
The best 3 man ensemble ever. Yes better than Hendrix, The Doors, Rush, The police, & King C's early 70's lineup.

Why the name "Badge"?

You can hear George all over this. RIP.

I read once that Ringo had a small part in the writing of this song - spontaneously coming up with the 'told you 'bout the swans...' line. Whatever-this song is sheer class. |
