"Crossroads" (1987) | Robert Johnson

<p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I attempt to cover all the angles that contribute to the question, “What’s the big deal with Robert Johnson and why do people obsess over him?”</span></p> <p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">1. Musical Proficiency</span></p> <p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">2. Lyrical intrigue</span></p> <p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">3. Hoodoo vs Devil connections</span></p> <p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">4. Tragic life story full of suffering</span></p> <p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">5.<span class= "Apple-converted-space">  Mystery about technical details - in recording AND guitar technique, with one contributing to the other</span></span></p> <p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">6. Setting the template for a rock god: Having lots of sex, traveling non-stop, abusing your body chemically, having a demonic reputation, dying young at 27 with bonus points for being murdered by the husband of a woman you were openly fooling around with.</span></p> <p class="p3"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class= "s1"><a href="https://twitter.com/RockFilmRock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://twitter.com/RockFilmRock</a></span></span></p> <p class="p3"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="s1">I also focus on the 1987 Karate Kid spinoff film "Crossroads" where Daniel travels to Mississippi to crane kick Steve Vai in the all-valley blues championship of Hell and damnation. </span> <span class="s2">While technically not canon in the Cobra Kai extended universe, "Crossroads", much like "Shadows of the Empire" links Karate Kid and Karate Kid part 2 behind the scenes of the main narrative. </span></span></p> <p class="p1"><a href="https://linktr.ee/justtheworstever" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1" style= "font-size: 10pt;">https://linktr.ee/justtheworstever</span></a></p> <p class="p1"><a href= "https://www.buymeacoffee.com/justtheworst"><span class="s1" style= "font-size: 10pt;">https://www.buymeacoffee
