Wrong agen!By the way, what is the 'Crossroads' quotation to do with?Arry not a problem arry. I apolgise for seeming a little antagonistic on this and other threads. I didn't mean it. the reason pork and other foods aren't Kosher comes from the book of Exodus. When Moses was leading the Jews out of Israel he stipulated what the jews could and couldn't eat on their journey. If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. remember when there were onl;y certain foods before refrigeration that you coiuld only eat when there is an R in the month?the quote is from the most famous song by the most famous blues singer in history: Robert Johnson. It's called 'Crossroads' and is the story of how Johnson went to a crossroads and made a pact with the devil in return for the power to great music.Without Johnson: the history of rock music and pop music woiuld have been entirely different.

Is it the same 'Crossroads' that Lynyrd Skynyrd covered? Quote rings a bell.
