Everybody gangster till a dude be sitting on the side of the road with a guitar....

It wasn’t THAT many years ago when The Crossroads was out in the middle of nowhere. I liked it better then.
-
people come down to "pay their respects" to the man by leaving their garbage lying all over the damn place. Come on people please HAVE some respect.
-
I think Robert Johnson died doing what he loved. He wasn't trying to live the richest lifestyle, he only wanted to be good at what he loved. Today, for a lot of musicians, it is about the money, and not for the love of the art. Some ppl can take a lesson from this story.
-
He got three gravesites. I don’t know why but it says so on the web. They weren’t sure where his body really lays so therefore he got three graves. What a legend. R.I.P Robert.
-
I've always wanted to visit the famous Crossroads. It's so cool to see you there and to discover that the location ofJohnson's grave is close by.
-
Any videos of anyone going there with guitar at Midnight?
-
The crossroads is on Dockery Farms Road. Actually two dirt roads that intersect with the tree in the corner of one of the intersects.
-
Man i love Robert Johnson. I am so glad that even in the beginning of 2024 he is well known. Even so many years later, he is immortal. The deal has been made.
-
Very cool. Me being a big Blues fan I knew about Robert and his story. It was so cool to actually see it on video. Thanks for that Micah. I love your vids.
-
You feel he could never have dreamed all this curiosity of his music and life
-
Great video, Micah! My grandmother was born in Mattson, about 5½ miles south of Hopson Plantation which is south of Clarksdale (and the Crossroads?). Now I have that Eric Clapton song stuck in my head! That’s the one written by Robert Johnson? I bet the movie O Brother How Art Thou sparked much interest in the Robert Johnson story and Mississippi. I visited Mattson and Hopson in 2000, before the MS Blues Trail existed I think. O Brother came out around then too.
-
My son and I just went to Clarksdale to the Crossroads and then down to Dockery Farms Plantation before journeying East over to Grenada and then back up North to my relatives home in Tippah County. I swear we say that same airplane in your video. It broke up the almost hypnotic monotony of the Delta highway we were on. I need to get down to Greenwood and visit that church.
-
I have been told on good accounts that the area depicted as the "crossroads" are incorrect but rather more of a memorial. Granted at that time, I am sure the whole town looked different
-
I'm not a Blues fan but this was a very interesting video. Thanks so much for sharing his story.
-
Great tour! I live in Australia so i'll never get there in person myself! Thanks!
-

-

-
Good stuff! Thanks for that bit of history.
-
Thankful for Mr. Johnson’s God given gift, and that he shared it with the world,
