Okay, about a week ago, I found an authentic Lynyrd Skynyrd guitar pick on eBay, USED by Rickey Medlocke. *passes out* ........anyway, I won it (!!!), and it finally got here today (!!!!!). OMG...he touched it. RICKEY MEDLOCKE TOUCHED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I called Dad at work, totally freaking out and happy. He asked me how I knew it was authentic; I don't, but I'm pretty positive it is.
For one, the seller kept spelling Rickey's name wrong (Rickie, Ricky, Medlock, etc) and didn't seem to know very much about him, he was also pretty new to eBay and didn't sound like the type to rip you off.
For two, the seller said that the concert was in Toronto, Canada, on June 19th, 2001, and that Ted Nugent and Deep Purple were also on the bill that night. So I did a Yahoo search for "skynyrd nugent deep purple" and sure enough, they were there. The seller said he was in the front row when Rickey threw it to him.
Plus, the pick has the Skynyrd logo on the front, and on the oppisite side is their sponsor's logo, DirectTV, and says underneath it "DirectTV Freeview Event, June 2001". Both sides are worn. So yeah, Rickey used this pick.
I hate to break this to everybody, but I love Rickey more than I did Jack Sparrow, no kiddin'!
