Actually, the devil demonstrated considerable skill with his fiddle. Johnny himself admitted he was pretty good. This poster needs to read the Bible.
I actually like the devil’s breakdown better than Charlie Daniels, but music is subjective like that.
Book of John, for those curious /s
It’s wild some of the stuff I find out is in the bible, and not just unrelated fiction. I was 14 when I finally found out David and Goliath was in the bible, not just some whacky kids story lol
The fiddle itself is a handicap too, gold is an awful material for an instrument.
The story of the devil and the fiddle is not in the bible.
It’s from the song “the devil went down to Georgia” from Charles Daniels.
The song is quite popular so references to it in popular culture are common. But that’s all it is. A story
Whatchu mean your Bible ain’t got the Gospel accordin’ to Charlie? You one of them freaky-deaky Catlicks? Come on down to the First United International Church of the Resurrection of the Lost Cause and we’uns gonna show you how to praise the Lord CORRECTLY!
He was just trying to get rid of that awful solid gold fiddle. What’s the use of gold in hell?
I dunno why the robot devil specified “solid” gold-- the original song just said gold. You can make violins out of metal, so theoretically a gold one could work.
Devil probably just wants to keep it interesting, it’s not exactly like the stakes were very high for the Devil
