Badfinger, perfect end for Breaking Bad

I'm not a big Badfinger fan but it seems like that song was made for the final scene in Breaking Bad. I don't know the name but the lyrics were right on the money. Kudos to whom ever picked that song to end my favorite show in recent memory. Plus judging by the lyrics, the use of the song El Paso was also a perfect choice. By the way, that's how you end a TV series, no loose ends to try and figure out, no fade to black. I'll miss that show.

I thought it was a pretty good choice. I thought the earlier use of Crystal Blue Persuasion was more right-on-the-button.

"Guess I got what I deserved
Kept you waiting there too long, my love
All that time without a word
Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget or I'd regret
The special love I had for you, my baby blue"

Walter White loved his "baby".....blue meth that is.

My first reaction was reflected in the Rolling Stone article linked above:

The song was really kind to the character because it intimates that, despite all of Walt's horrific behavior, he was always just a chemist at heart. I thought it was a deliberate choice to ignore the "He had it coming lyrics" in favor of "He made his own choices". I neither felt bad for Walt, nor good that justice was done - either of which might have been what I expected. In a weird way, it struck me as a happy ending for the show.
