Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Anyone else catch the Blackmore “cameo” on the quite brilliant “Better Call Saul”?
Jimmy: You see that? Fender Stratocaster signed by Ritchie Blackmore. You know who that is, right?
May 26th, 2017 at 01:09Camera Guy: Someone nobody’s ever heard of?
Jimmy: That’s real good. I hope your parents enjoy supporting you for the rest of their lives. C’mon, Ritchie Blackmore, Deep Purple.
Sound Guy: Oh, Another Brick in the Wall.
Jimmy: I weep for the future.
