Never saw the show; never saw the reason to idolize evil. Won't miss what was well worth missing.

Funny you should post this, Gerard, because just this morning I posted Walter White's Swan Song, which tracks the final episode's title "Felina" which is a clear reference to Marty Robbin's epic ballad, "El Paso" It's one of my best efforts ever,

I fell in love with the methedrine world
Daytime would find me in Gustavo's meth lab
