It was the first of July 2009.
We decided to leave Memphis early, eight, eight-thirty in the morning; because around those parts, at that time, the heat kills you. Humid, so much so that as soon as you step out onto the street you're already soaked in sweat, even if it's early morning.

The first stop was relatively close, Clarksdale, the moral capital of the Mississippi Delta, the moral capital of the Blues. One hundred and twenty-five kilometers all along the legendary Highway 61: yes, the one Bob Dylan also sang about, even if he meant it in the opposite direction to us, from south to north.
On the asphalt in front of our white Ford van, the road, already scorching from the sun, made imaginary images, mirages of reflection, appear on the horizon. And with us there was nothing, no one, only parched fields to the right and left.
Around half past ten we finally saw the arrow indicating the turn-off for Clarksdale, and we took it.

The town seemed deserted, the streets stretched out desolate amidst rows of decidedly run-down wooden houses, with the varied African-American population already exhausted in the scant shade of dilapidated arcades that had certainly seen better days. And my feeling was strange, inscrutable, even if decidedly restless, perhaps also because of those looks, not threatening, but rather astonished, that looked at the decidedly anomalous body that was me and my six friends inside that white Ford van, too clean, modern and untouched, which definitely clashed in that context.

After a while, the little houses ended and we found ourselves, so to speak, "downtown": four or five-story buildings, also somewhat decrepit, stretching within a few squared blocks. And without a single tree, so the sun had free rein to wipe out the few remaining sentiments.
We turned right, then right again, then left: and John Lee Hooker Lane appeared: it's the short street that leads to the Delta Blues Museum, the temple of the Blues.

Now, we Europeans are used to a concept of "museum" that involves austere, polished monumental buildings, with armed guards for access, cameras and all the paraphernalia of control...
There, none of that.
A low, discreetly maintained red brick building, built next to an old abandoned railway line, with rusty tracks, and a canopy with the rusty sign "Delta Blues Museum" underneath it.
In museums you expect a quiet movement of attentive and discreet patrons, perhaps with the classic joyful and somewhat noisy school group: there, again, none of that. Deserted. No one. Just us.

The exhibition was entirely structured within a single large hall, with a ceiling not as high as you would expect. And what was exhibited were common memorabilia: a few "belonging to" instruments, a few trinkets, many photographs, historical and otherwise, very beautiful, I must say.
And little else.
The tour ended quickly, but the previous restlessness, instead of subsiding, increased. There was SOMETHING I couldn't focus on. At one point, I heard the rhythmic sound of drums, like someone practicing a few passages. It came from the entrance area, but distant, from below, perhaps from some obscure cellar. I would never find out who or where it was.
At that point, however, I noticed an old, a really old, African-American man, sitting behind the counter of what looked like a bar; he was distractedly reading a crumpled newspaper, while savoring a noxious cigarette, the smell, the stench, decidedly strong for someone like me, who doesn't smoke.
It immediately and naturally came to me, from deep within, the urge, the need, to ask him a question that had been buzzing in my head for many years, related to one of the most famous legends of the blues, which tells how one fine day in the late 1920s, Robert Johnson, who was a poor cotton picker with no art or skill, in the countryside near Clarksdale met the Devil – yes, that very one – who proposed a pact: he, the Devil, would guarantee him success in exchange for his soul. And Johnson accepted. And the rest of the story is known.

Well, that's when the question came to me, and opening my mouth with an uncertain demeanor, I asked the old man: "Can you tell me where the Devil's Crossroads and Robert Johnson's are?"
The old man didn't bat an eyelid... but he raised it, imperceptibly, while simultaneously lowering his newspaper, sizing me up in silence. A silence that lasted a few eternal seconds, in which time had actually stopped. Then, parting his lips wet with sweat and parched by smoke, he told me: "Hey guy... It's Everywhere...!"
And in that moment, for the first time in my life, I understood what the word "Blues" meant.
And the sense of uneasiness disappeared in the dangerous grin that appeared on the old man's impassive face.

The musicians and I are fortunate people, to have been privileged to experience these emotions that are very difficult to put into words, but which I hope can at least be conveyed a little by the sound tracks left in the grooves of the records. Forever.

Thanks to everyone,
Marco Lincetto

I dedicate this project to that old African-American with the newspaper,
who finally made me understand what the BLUES is.

Good Plug
Purchased this from Amazon for convenience and it arrived quickly so I was satisfied. If I order the oil and filter for mower at the same time it saves me time and I have them delivered to my door for the mower tune up.

This card is awesome!
Style: Prime Visa
I’ve been using the Chase Prime Visa card for over a year, and it’s become one of my favorite credit cards, especially for anyone who regularly shops on Amazon or Whole Foods. Here’s my personal take based on firsthand experience: ### Pros: 1. **Generous Cashback on Amazon/Whole Foods Purchases**: The card offers 5% cashback on Amazon.com and Whole Foods purchases if you're a Prime member. Since I do a lot of online shopping and grocery runs there, the cashback adds up quickly. Every couple of months, I have enough cashback points to significantly reduce my bill, which is super satisfying. 2. **Solid Rewards for Everyday Spending**: Besides Amazon and Whole Foods, the card gives 2% cashback on restaurant, gas station, and drugstore purchases. I find this feature great since I often fuel up and grab meals on the go, and it's nice knowing I’m getting something back on those purchases. 3. **No Annual Fee (with Prime)**: Since I’m already paying for Amazon Prime, having no additional fee for the card is a bonus. It's like getting extra perks from Prime without paying more. 4. **Redeemable Points**: I love that the cashback can be used directly on Amazon for purchases, but I usually save my points to cover larger purchases or statement credits. 5. **Travel Perks**: While I haven’t used it extensively, the card does offer some decent travel benefits like no foreign transaction fees and access to some travel protections, which can be useful for international travel. ### Cons: 1. **Requires Amazon Prime Membership**: The biggest downside is that the card is only valuable if you're already an Amazon Prime member, which costs around $139 a year. If you’re not a frequent Amazon shopper, the perks might not justify having the card. 2. **Limited Categories for High Cashback**: Outside of Amazon and Whole Foods, the cashback categories aren’t as high (2% for gas, restaurants, etc.), so if you're looking for a broader range of high-reward categories, this card might feel limited. 3. **Amazon-Heavy Focus**: While I enjoy the Amazon-focused rewards, someone who doesn’t shop there often might find the card’s benefits less compelling. If you’re looking for more flexibility in redeeming points for travel, the Chase Sapphire line might be better suited. ### Overall Verdict: If you’re an Amazon Prime member and do a lot of shopping on Amazon or at Whole Foods, this card is a no-brainer. The cashback rewards are generous, especially compared to other cards. However, if you’re not an Amazon or Whole Foods shopper, there are probably better options with broader rewards categories. For me, the Chase Prime Visa has been a great addition to my wallet, primarily for its ability to consistently give me back a portion of what I’m already spending.

Great card for Amazon purchases, read the fine print people!
Style: Amazon Visa
Seems to be a lot of griping from people who don't understand how to read the fine print and use common sense. This is basically a store card/loyalty card Visa like many retailers offer. That being said, the interest rates are always high on these types of cards. Deal with it. Don't carry a balance. "Instant" credit approval is assumed if there is nothing in your account that needs reviewing. If you need the $30/$50 immediately to make your purchase, maybe you should rethink what you are buying. If you're getting this card, I'll bet you'll buy something from Amazon again and be able to use that gift card before long anyway... Card Pros: -1 point=$1 spent. $1 spent at amazon gives 3 points (3%). $1 spent elsewhere gives 1 point (1%). For me, I like it simple, no point-to-dollar conversions like the citi card. -Card is by Chase. May be a pro/con here, but if you already have Chase accounts, this card will show up after a couple weeks in your chase.com online account. Easy to manage and make payments straight from your checking account. -No annual fee. -Redeem points at any time for anything sold by Amazon. Yes there is fine print, marketplace purchases can't be funded with points, neither can subscribe and save. Boo hoo. Read the terms and you won't have to post 1 star reviews whining about what's explained in the fine print you didn't bother reading before handing over all your personal information. :) Card Cons: -Interest rate is high. As stated above, these types of cards always have high rates. My condolences if you are under the assumption that a 13%+ rate is a good rate. Bottom line- read the card's terms and conditions before applying, understand the rewards and how to use them, pay your bills on time, and you'll wind up with some nice rewards points to use on something fun from Amazon.
