It was actually at THIS crossroads....

3. For making this poll

I think I can say: I LOVE YOU MAN!

I nominate this as the best poll ever. Maybe best post too

[Syrinx]

5. I love you too

Though I'm not gay... not that there's anything wrong with that. :)

6. Ditto

But this post made my day...heck - my life has now been made

7. Big Robert Johnson fan?

I don't think I actually have anything by him, but I've always enjoyed the tales. And come to think of it, I may have a tune or two on a disc somewhere.

8. You could say that

I'm a huge blues fan, and Robert Johnson in particular

10. I've certainly heard some of his recordings

And he does sound like a man possessed. Amazing talent.

I've been asking pals if they want to ride over to the crossroads and see how spooky it is, but no takers yet. It's a shame, because it really isn't a very long drive from here.

4. Yes, but the devil sold it to me for $666

Wanna buy it?

What do I hear?

9. Damn, that intersection has grown up a bit since I was there

The area to the left side of the picture was a cotton field when I drove through.
It was funny, we not "looking" for the intersection, we just landed there.
I was crusing on 61 and we were goofing around singing the Dylan song, and all of a sudden there was a BIG dog standing in the middle of the lane.
I slammed on the brakes, and we 5 in our 1964 Chevy spun around, oh, 6-8 times and came to rest in a cloud of red dust and quiet.
Was not sure where we were for a minute, tried to restart the engine, but could not (duh, it was in Drive...idiot!) and the dust was really thick.
As it settled, we looked up and saw the intersection.
Very weird moment.

11. Believe in reincarnation?

I would classify Robert Johnson as a "big dog." :)

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

12. Oh yeah, I believe.

for sure.

Never did see where the dog went either. That was pretty weird too.

[Syrinx]

13. I'm gonna make someone go over there with me

Do you know if he's buried in that area too?

Just sounds too cool not to visit.

14. No, I don't know. I think he died in Chicago
