### Collaboration and Creation
George Harrison and Eric Clapton were great friends, and this friendship resulted in several musical collaborations over the years. "Badge" was written during a session where both were together. Harrison wrote the main part of the song, while Clapton contributed the characteristic guitar riff and melody.
### The Title "Badge"
The story of the song's title is curious. According to reports, Harrison wrote the word "Bridge" in the draft of the song to indicate a transition part. Clapton, reading the draft, mistakenly interpreted the word as "Badge." They found the confusion amusing and decided to keep "Badge" as the official title of the song.
### Ringo Starr's Contribution
Ringo Starr, drummer of The Beatles, also participated in the creation of "Badge." He contributed a line of lyrics that says, "I told you not to wander around in the dark." Starr's involvement in the creation of the song is further proof of the frequent interactions between The Beatles members and Clapton.
### Release and Reception
"Badge" was released as part of Cream's *Goodbye* album and became one of the album's most memorable songs. Although it was a collaboration, the song is generally credited to Clapton and Harrison. The song is known for its iconic guitar riff and the blend of rock and blues elements.
This collaboration between George Harrison and Eric Clapton is an example of how friendship and mutual respect between musicians can result in unique and enduring creations. "Badge" is a song that is still appreciated by fans of classic rock and highlights the genius of the artists involved.
