@abrekutu Thanks for the clarification! I think Bobby Rush may have mentioned Robert Johnson and the crossroads when he was performing there one time . . .

@andy131481 It was supposed to have been Robert Johnson, not Bobby Rush.

@nestorian9 he was drunk and probably on a LOT of illegal substances. Forgive me, but I think what your saying is utter toss.

If Eric Clapton dislikes African-Americans moving to England and supports racist politicians, then he shouldn’t be featured on any of these videos. His entire career is based on this music, and yet he says horribly racist things according to the wiki page I read. I had no idea. I saw Eric with Muddy Waters in concert. It’s stunning to read that kind of diatribe coming from his mouth. If these rantings are true—keep Clapton away from any mention of real blues singers.

Andy,
I’m afraid I don’t know but certainly Bobby Rush has performed at the Ground Zero Blues Club, owned by Morgan Freeman, narrator of The Blues Live On.

is that the crossroads where Bobby Rush sold his soul to the devil?
