51 The Devil's Violinist and The King of Delta Blues & The Farmville Murders

For God's Sake, Don't Drink the Jones Juice

Part 1: We've all heard the rumors of celebrities selling their souls to the devil in order to achieve musical success. Today in part one, we discuss the violin prodigy, Niccolo Paganini and the King of Delta Blues singer, Robert Johnson, and their stories on how they potentially made a pact with the devil. Listeners beware! Tritones are used in the making of this episode! Part 2: When 15 year-old Emma Niederbrock and 19 year-old Richard “Syko Sam” McCroskey met on MySpace in 2009, they clicked instantly due to their shared interest in the “horrorcore” rap scene. A year later, Sam would take a cross-country trip to finally meet his love interest in person. What Sam expected to be a nice week with his “girlfriend”, ended up being far from it when Emma decided she didn’t feel anything romantic with Sam. Did Sam turn into a raging killer because of Emma’s refusal to return his love? Or was it the dark & gruesome music they were fans of that made him flip?
