Last paragraph on Ian Westbury
Okay, I admit I believed in this tragic story of the British rock star Dominic Keating (alias Ian Westbury) first. But while I dealt with this blog and with Ian Westbury, I discovered that this story was a huge, humorous, entertaining and great promotion campaign of the company "Sprint" for its new music store "MixSherpa". Ian Westbury and his employees were the stars who guided the clients to find the right music in Sprint's new music store - but they were only fictive characters. Nevertheless, Dominic Keating has a fantastic singing voice in the music video that is really shot in that way it is described in the professional part of Ian Westbury's biography. I wish I could watch the whole story of Ian Westbury / Dominic Keating.
