RE: Devil at the Crossroads (Netflix special): Dig into the Robert Johnson legend
Robert was also one of the original member of the "27 club" - a club of extremely talented individuals that changed the musical scene with their immense talent that died in their 27th year on this earth.
To be fair, the 27 club is not just for musical artists. There are a lot of other celebrities/actors/etc. that are in there. Lets not forget all those other people who died in weird, unfortunate ways due to their contract with the Devil. Those fucking virgins knew what they were getting into when they signed with the dark lord, and they should stop being pussyboi's and just chill in their dark oblivion.
On a related note, I have never really seen anything actually centered around this guy in media. They've referenced him in TV shows (Like, Constantine and Metalocalpyse) and stuff like that, but this is the first thing I've actually seen that's about him. So, that's pretty neat.
There is an old movie called Crossroads with Ralph Macchio (the guy from The karate kid) that tells his story, but not as tha main plot in the film.
yeah, i saw it referenced in Supernatural years ago, but i was like "Robert who?"
