Robert Johnson

Who is Robert Johnson I asked? "Year of Fog" brought up this name and I had to search because my curious nature would not rest. Oh and the skeptic would relay "You should know who Robert Johnson is!" but alas we cannot know all or even a small fraction but we can educate ourselves therefor preventing ignorance. The blues singer, the woman lover, the devil of a singer: that is Robert Johnson. Great music and a deep soul who was constantly searching to find himself, to see himself through a woman's eyes. Love them, hate them, leave them, ...love them.. a never ending circle. We all have the rambling spirit in us, the spirit that searches for our true identity...
A quote from the book (I marveled): "We all have a little Robert Johnson in us. We're all capable of bartering away our soul. The question is whether or not we chance upon the devil."
We ramble, we search, we are not here long... live for this moment for it might not happen again.
