Legends and mythology, and this is one of those that always fascinated me. For those that don't know legend has it that blues great (often called king of the delta blues) Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads of Hwy 61 and Hwy 49, Clarksdale, Mississippi.
Here is the story of Robert Johnson.
On a side note with that, he died at the age of 27. Look up that age and rock star deaths. Johnson was techincally the first one to die at that age. A long list throughout history died at that age.
Now, here is the story of Bob Dylan....and this is creepy about reportedly going to the crossroads.
Anyway, there have been many movies and books written about "the crossroads." Many times if you ever hear about the crossroads, it is often referring to that place.
