Selling One's Soul to the Devil

I do not believe that if you go to a crossroads late at night in the south and play your guitar, the devil will show up and offer guitar playing skills in exchange for your eternal soul. I do, however, believe that it is possible to sell your soul to the devil. One can have a conversation with the devil just as one would have a conversation with God through prayer. The devil can offer you power, money, talent, and social status in exchange for following his evil agenda and doing evils things. This, in my opinion, is how one would sell their soul to the devil. Whether or not Robert Johnson actually sold his soul to the devil is between him and God. A listener can usually tell whether or not a musician has soul their soul to the devil by listening to the lyrics of their songs. Songs that glorify pain, evil deeds, greed, money, power, etc are influenced by evil forces whereas songs that contain good messages are influenced by God and good forces. I also like to refer to an artist selling their soul to the devil as selling out, or abandoning personal integrity for musical fame and fortune. Unfortunately, most popular artists today have sold out, as is evident by their increasingly depraved and degrading lyrics. This is one of the reasons why I prefer to listen to underground music, music I find on the internet, and music from obscure artists. It actually tends to be better quality due to the fact that the artists have not watered-down their musical talent to conform with the mainstream.
