John Lennon wanted to call the band “Glass Onion”, but no one liked the name. (Lennon later used the name for one of his songs on the White Album). Instead, The Iveys chose another Beatles-inspired moniker: “Badfinger.” This was a reference to “Badfinger Boogie”, an early working title of “With a Little Help from My Friends,” from “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”
