I thought the "Roy Clark" guitar ad was the most shameless piece of musician prostitution I'd ever seen. I lost a lot of respect for him after seeing him pitch this instrument. I couldn't believe he was that hard up for money, that he would endorse something along these lines. Yes he remains a helluva player, but surely his finances were not in such a state of disarray that he would pitch and con people into buying these "boat paddles". What's next? Marty Stuart endoring plastic dobros? Ricky Skaggs endorsing Born Again guitar picks?
