Robert Johnson was a black man that had moved to a Native American reservation in Washington State. He moved to the reservation because he had some trouble in his life and had to get away. One day when he was driving around he stopped at a crossroads and stood in the center. Everyone in the reservation knows that the devil hangs out at crossroads and that it is possibly a gate to hell. Well, that is where Robert Johnson met the devil and made a deal with him. He wanted to be able to play guitar better than anyone else, so he made a deal with the devil; he sold his soul and in return he would receive the skills to be the best guitarist. The curse that he accepted eventually drove him to kill himself, he played the guitar until his hands bled and could not stop. By killing himself the guitar was left behind and Victor found it and sold his best friends soul for the talent.
At a meeting with a record company, after signing to begin his solo career, Ozzy bit off the head of a dove. The point of the dove was to show peace as they flew away, but Osbourne was so trashed that he bit the head off instead. Another occurrence was the night at one of his own concerts; when Ozzy Osbourne bit off the head of a live bat. Throughout his tour he was biting off the heads of rubber bats because that is what he was known for. Though at this one particular show, a woman threw a real bat right in front of Ozzy on stage. Being stunned by all the flashing lights of the show the bat was stunned. So of course thinking it was fake, Ozzy picked up the bat and bit off its head. Realizing that he was real he was rushed to the nearest hospital and received rabies shots.

The Abbey Road cover had many conspiracies’s surrounding it. Many die hard fans believed that Paul McCartney died and that there were several subliminal messages hidden within the albums graphics pointing it out. Some said that the way each beetle was dressed was carefully planned out symbolizing a gravedigger, a mourner, and a priest for Paul’s funeral. A second piece that fans assumed was that in the picture McCartney was not wearing shoes, also symbolizing his death. A third piece was that in the background a police car is parked, because it was thought that the police had helped cover up the death of McCartney. Finally the most disturbing was the theory that is you slightly turn the back cover a person can clearly see the grim reaper. Through all conspiracies this story turned out to be not true, simply because Paul McCartney is not dead.

When Bob Dylan went to the Newport folk festival in 1965, he decided to change up his sound. He plugged in his guitar to an amplifier. Now Bob Dylan was an acoustic folk player so the fans began to boo because they wanted to hear the original Bob Dylan and not “Electric Dylan”. Simply because of they type of music they preferred. Though after interviews with fans that were in the audience these statements were not true. The fans said that they didn’t hear any booing from the crowed. Another set said they looked around and they saw performers and press booing but not the audience. After everything it turns out that some of the fans were upset because they felt that Bob had turned his back on true folk music to go to electric.
