well in reality i don't think that Son House meant to spread it maliciously, it is very possible that he may have just said something that was taken out of context by followers of his. I have the utmost respect for Son House as he himself is a fixture in pre World War II blues. I am not disagreeing with Bill Mahers stance though.

I have to take biil maher's stance here: what does it say about a religion when ministers are spreading rumors about people?

The crossroads is just a metaphor for a serious decision, he could have taken the road of playing religious music, but instead, at the crossroads Robert Johnson took the road of playing secular music. Because Son House was a minister he thought that secular music was the devil's work, and therefore started the rumor that Robert Johsnon sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads.

What was the significance of purporting it to happen at the crossroads?
mowgli2071 2 years ago
Well I actually spoke with a close friend of Robert Johnson's "step son", Robert Lockwood Jr., and he told me that the selling of his soul at the cross roads was just a rumor spread by Son House because Robert Johnson started playing secular music.

Thoughts on 0:26 to 0:42; first, someone actually DID at one point, put their own mortal soul up for auction on ebay. I don't remember the result. Also, the Robert Johnson thing; there's an african god known as Legba and he's known to be in charge of the crossroads. The devil part is probably just a trans-cultural warping, like the way the ancient greek god Pan is used as the image of the devil in modern western culture.

0:50; this is why we need a real life "thieve's guild" like the one from B5"crusade", or at least a "Bum's Guild".

From the song by BTO "Little Gandy Dancer" To this! God bless your soul Utah. I was doing a web search and came upon this, I had no idea that I was going to be sitting on my ass and laughing so hard that I completely forgot about working. Thank you for sharing this with us!
