It took y’all a while…considering Robert Johnson was used as a reference in an episode from almost six years ago 😛 Supernatural FTW!
Oh, and the inventors of Rock n Roll did NOT look to Robert Johnson as a primary influence. I think the reason why people say that is because he comes from the same group that they DID look to. Clapton looked to him, but not until well after the founding of Rock n Roll. Chuck Berry looked to Muddy Waters and country music to create Rock n Roll. Then Sam Philips ‘discovered’ Howlin’ Wolf et al while simultaneously creating the entity known as Elvis, Johnny Cash, et al. RJ was never mentioned
What is interesting is how many people think Mr. Johnson made this up out of nowhere. In fact, he comes from a solid background line of bluesmen. Despite many people giving him all the credit for delta blues, he’s actually a sterile side shoot of the main branch and was relatively unknown until the 1960’s. The proper line is the Chatmon Family–>Charlie Patton–>Son House–>Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf et al……and the rest is history.
