Sue meh dear, which O Brother scene was that from?

[hyperdiabolical]

@TheKontosuburbian It's where the boys were sitting around the campfire with Tommy the real performer of the song. You'll remember him as he was the one selling his soul to the devil and the only black man in the campfire scene. Calls to mind many bluesmen who allegedly sold their souls to Satan at the crossroads. Wonderful legend and the inspiration for the Clapton / Cream song by the same. Will send it if you don't know it.

[TheKontosuburbian]

@hyperdiabolical Ah yes, that's when they discuss what they intend to do with their share of the "treasure". Thanks!

[Paganguy1]

@hyperdiabolical

Yes. Indeed. Fascinating... actually, the idea of selling your soul "at the Crossroads" goes back to ancient Rome. The Goddess "Trivia" was the Goddess of crossroads, (Tri-VIA, get it?). Years later, the Goddess was replaced by this Satan character, which always seems to happen, because men are very afraid of women.... apparently... but yeah... very interesting legend that was pervasive all the way to modern day Mississip! Great video!

[hyperdiabolical]

@Paganguy1 Thanks for the info Paganguy! I have always looked at crossroads as a right or wrong choice and a helluva place to get lost if you are not careful. hahahah!

[Paganguy1]

@hyperdiabolical

Indeed. All mythology, as you obviously realize, is a metaphore for some aspect of the human condition. More fascinating on a psychological level than a metephysical or religious one, (is there a difference? LOL!)

[hyperdiabolical]

@Paganguy1 I agree, that's why political radicalism and religious fundamentalism usually end up in homocide. I am a pragmatist rather than a "true believer".

[Paganguy1]

@hyperdiabolical

*Rev. Randy bows* Wisely spoken and truly said. Agreed. It was pragmatism and rationalism that brought us out of the Dark Ages... now there are people, powerful people, who would plunge us back into the Dark.

[hyperdiabolical]

@Paganguy1 Thanks brotherman. Who's Rev. Randy? I hate the folks you refer to. The Republican party is drivin' me nuts now. They used to be the party of "family values" and now are the party of Gingrinch AND Mitt Romney. One cannot get more pragmatic than that, hahahaha! At some point pragmatism means you stand for nothing. Don't know who to vote for this go round. I think I'll vote in favor of populism and everyone's playin that card these day. I enjoy this coversation with ya PG.

[Paganguy1]

@hyperdiabolical

I am The Reverend Randy! Master of all religions, believer in none! TO the point, though, this is common in all declining Empires throughout human history. When the economy fails, we always turn to some imaginary friend in the clouds; we become conservative jerks. We pray to imaginary gods to help us, instead of actually doing something practical. Thereby, hastening the End. Humans are predictable, in this way. The intellectuals like you and I, just get swallowed up

[hyperdiabolical]

@Paganguy1 I guess what I mean PG is that I am confused. I am in favor of compromise and pragmatism. Eventually you cannot move one way or the other when you become obsessed with ideology. I am no ideologist. Just get the damned job done, if ya know what I mean.

[Rikkyhardo]

Great stuff Geoff, I salute you

[hyperdiabolical]

@Rikkyhardo The name is Sue, how do you do? Quote from the dead bloke.

[Rikkyhardo]

Oooops... me spoked wrong Sue, why do you do?

[hyperdiabolical]

@Rikkyhardo I don't know why I just how..at least that's what the missus tells me!

[BigCanOfBeans]

@hyperdiabolical Dude, that quote is off a johnny cash song, called 'my name is sue'.

[hyperdiabolical]

@BigCanOfBeans Which quote? My old channel feature pic was of Johnny Cash so that's why he might be quoted here.

[bloozmonkey111]

Spot on!!!

[Circumpunk]

@bloozmonkey111 Thanks blooz! This is the direction I want this channel to take. Not just blues but everything that had to do with the formation of rock and roll including hillbilly music, rockabilly, etc. from the early bluesmen to Buddy Holly and even folk music, Hell I guess it's all folk music right? Thanks agian, geoff

[bloozmonkey111]

@Circumpunk I think its a good plan and a channel I will like very much! ;)) The way I hear it, it all came from the blues, I guess. The country/folk white guys would listen to the black stuff, and it just kinda melted together and formed into rockabilly later on. And that was the in the 50s. I think rock&roll wasn't really invented yet. Great post, once again! ;)))

"Oh Brother Where Art Thou"

[Circumpunk]

@TheCrazyCowPresents I consider that high praise and I thank you from the bottom of my little black heart! ; ))
