@Van the devil was not always thought to be evil. In Ezekiel it is actually said that Lucifer was one of God’s most trusted angels. I’m not saying anything bad about your comment nor trying to disprove it. I am just saying, the devil was not thought to be evil since day one as you stated. Sorry, I’m Bah’ai and we revere to all religious texts as holy, so I read the Bible often(as well as the Upanishads, Torah, Qur’an, and just about every other holy book).lol
As for the whole selling your soul to the devil, don’t waste your time. There can only be one Robert Johnson.

Has anyone ever noticed an odd parallel between two very popular men who started new directions of their music? Elvis Presley and Robert Johnson.

Robert Johnson, a black man who became a great guitarist. Elvis Presley; a white man who was said to have a black man’s voice in a white man’s body. They both died the same day, but different years!!!! Creepy…….

RJ- August 16, 1938

EP- August 16, 1977

39 years difference between the years of their deaths…RJ was 27, Elvis was 42. They were only 15 years apart in age when they died.

Thanks to Charles -your post is really illuminating. I’m an Australian who loves blues music though it is totally alien to the my experience. I’m currently travelling in the South and drove through Rosedale today and felt weirdly ambivalent about the delta in general and Rosedale in particular. Asked a local young guy about the crossroads location -he genuinely had no idea (probably could have answered anything about rap?)-Main St Rosedale has effectively closed for business as has Gunnison (mentioned above). 46% population below the poverty level and so many communities looking like they are dying. I felt a haunting melancholy -as if the area is crushed by the weight of its own history but at the same time I got just a glimmer of what Charles describes.
We are so globalised and this authentic local connection gets lost in the mix of TacoBells/Exxon gas stations/Walmarts…….

I grew up in the Delta. My family were share croppers. I went to school in Gunnison, Rosedale, Pace, Skeen, Boyle, Merigold and cleveland…as sharecroppers my family would move from plantation to plantation all over Boliver County thus explaining the number of schools. Even as a child I could feel the Delta, that spirit, that indescibable thing that wraps itself around you like a second skin you, FEEL it! I can remember standing in the yard of a shotgun house that we lived in on the Waldon plantation. Just out of Rosedale near Pace, and just standing there FEELING the Delta. I was only five at the time, so there was noway I could articulate what I felt. I am know fiftysix years old and still cant articulate it, but I know it is there! I dont know if it’s the air,or that muddy water, or that rich aluvian soil maybe all three, but the veil between the physical and the spiritual gets thinner the longer your there. That is the Delta.

If you once sell your soul, you can’t never get it back.

P.S.: Jesus LOVES you all, very much!!! Satan HATES you, has no love for you & never did!! Why ANYONE would ever CONSIDER selling their soul to him is BEYOND ME!! Jesus invites you to give your heart/life over to him today. Why you hate Jesus so much, Michael, is also beyond me. He loved you enough to DIE for you on a cross 2000 years ago, so He’s NEVER done ANYTHING, not ONCE, to deserve your hate! But alas, even He said to us followers of His, “Don’t be surprised if the world hates you. For it hated Me first!” & also that, “They (the world) hated Me without reason.”. I’ll be prayin’ for you, dude, & hopefully, in the meantime, you’ll wise up, get some sense in that head of yours, & take Jesus up on His offer! Laters!
