Robert Johnson
In proof of Robert Johnson's song "The Crossroad" representing him selling his own soul to the devil, ties between the meaning of crossroads and Satanic figures were made. In research, the demonic god Legba was a deity whom was claimed to be the "trickster" of crossroads and entrances. Legba was a form of voodoo devil that represented Satan in many religions.
Therfore, the devil that Robert Johnson had theroetically sold his soul at a crossroad to was referring to Legba, the Devil of Crossroads.
Ozzy Osbourne
Osbourne has reportedley torn off the head of a bat and a dove for entertainment and/or expression of potential insanity with his own mouth. The initial case, the bat, was for a concert in "a rock induced demonic state" to dazzle his peers and fanatics. In the secondary case, he had released two doves to start a peaceful meeting with CBS records; the third dove lost its head.
Abbey Road
Many believe that the Abbey Road poster has several signs indicating that Paul McCarthy is dead and has been replaced with a false Paul.
- Lennon is dressed in all white with long hair and a beard, indicating that he is God or Jesus
- Ringo Star has a very neat, black suit, indicating that he is the pastor
- Paul is messy as if he'd been in an accident
- Paul also has no shoes [in many cultures, one was buried without shoes]
- George is last and casual, as if he is the gravedigger
- Paul's ciggarette is being held in the wrong hand, for he was left handed
Electric Dylan
When Bob Dylan decided to go electric, he was booed from the stage. This is because he was seen as the immortal icon of folk music, and that folk music did not include elcretic intruments, rather a more earthy sound of acoustic pleasures. Nowadays, some refuse to refer to him as folk anymore because of his electric record "Bringing it Back Home" from 1965.
Led Zepplin's "Stairway to Heavan"
Many have been afriad of backmasking, especially since they could always find dark and satanic messages within the songs played backwards. Many joined the hysteria that the backmasked songs were going to force children to "commit sins and participate in risky behaviour." This song was no exception to that fear.
