Fascinating Fact #5: The popular belief was always that Bad Company took their name from a 1972 Jeff Bridges Western movie of the same name. But Paul Rodgers denies that, saying that he’d never even heard of the movie when the band was choosing their name. Instead, Rogers says the name came “from my childhood days. I saw a book on Victorian morals. They showed this picture of this Victorian punk. He was dressed like a tough, with a top hat and the spats and vests and the watch in the pocket and the tails and all of that. But everything was raggy. The shoes were popped out of the soles, and the top of the hat was popped out. And the guy is leaning on the lamppost with a bottle in his hand and a pipe in his mouth, obviously a dodgy person. And youve got this little choirboy kind of guy - a little kid, actually - looking up to him. And underneath it said, Beware of bad company.
