Legend and Myth in Music

1. Robert Johnson had always aspired to be a famous blues guitarist since he was a small boy. While he was still a teenager, he was instructed to go to the town's crossroads at midnight. When he arrived there he met a very large man presumed to be the devil. Robert Johnson gave him his guitar and the man tuned it for him. He then proceeded to play several songs on the guitar. Johnson was offered mastery of the instrument in exchange for his soul. He handed the guitar back to Johnson and the two made a deal. Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil so that he may play blues music better than anyone else in the world.


2. During his announcement to singing with CBS records, ozzy and sharon osbourne decided to release doves into the crowd of people. Ozzy however; showed up to the event extremely drunk. So he grabbed on of the doves and bit its head off. There was another incident at one of his concerts where a dead bat was thorn to him on stage. Ozzy, thinking it was rubber, took the bat and bit its head off in spite of the moment. He was taken to the hospital to recieve rabies shots shortly after. Both of these accounts have been confirmed as true events but some still remain skeptical.
