      Do not let the strange title deter you from this great story. We’ve all heard the expression that the love of money is the root of all evil and this story is a perfect example of that reality.

They work for one of the largest law firms in New York City, and their job is to copy the briefs for the hundreds of lawyers who work in the offices above their basement print shop. The four are as unlike each other as night and day. Rich, a former construction worker now attending college with the vision of going on to law school is in love with a girl from a wealthy family. Visalia, or Vise, is a former petty thief who ...

      Roadtrip Attraction
      Blues legend Robert Johnson was the founding member of the group of influential musicians - Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse are others - to have died at the young age of 27. His life was shrouded in myth and mystery so it's perhaps appropriate that his final resting place is uncertain too. Two other churches nearby have gravestones carrying his name but the general consensus is that the impressive headstone here at the Little Zion Missionary Baptist Church marks his actual grave. ...

      The short life of Blues singer/guitarist Robert Johnson went largely undocumented and his death was shrouded in mystery too (some say he died after drinking whiskey laced with strychnine; others claim this can't have been possible). It therefore seems only right that his final resting place is equally uncertain. The quiet churchyard here at Payne Chapel Memorial Baptist Church is just one of three local sites to have been claimed, at one time or another, as his "real" grave. According to one of Johnson's friends and contemporaries, "Honeyboy" Edwards, his body was moved here from nearby Mt Zion Baptist Church. ...
