"Crossroads" (1987) | Robert Johnson

2022-01-31
Download Right click and do "save link as"

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?”

1. Musical Proficiency

2. Lyrical intrigue

3. Hoodoo vs Devil connections

4. Tragic life story full of suffering

5.  Mystery about technical details - in recording AND guitar technique, with one contributing to the other

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.

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.  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.
