The story of Robert Johnson is every bit as fascinating as it is creepy. There was always an enigmatic quality to the Delta bluesman‚ who hailed from Mississippi. His life story was the pinnacle of unsourced mystery that only heightened the curiosity about his precocious existence. The only known fact about Robert Johnson is that he was born in 1911. He spent much of his early life playing where he could by frequenting the local bars. Johnson achieved the omnipotent ability to play the guitar by going down to the crossroads of Clarksdale‚ Mississippi‚ and supposedly made a deal with The post Top 10 Robert Johnson Songs: The Birth Of Classic Rock appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Would you be considered human if you haven't locked yourself out of your house at least once? One mom on TikTok found herself in quite the predicament with only her toddler to "mission impossible" his way to unlocking the house door to let his mom‚ @gesikaaaaaa‚ inside. The video starts with the camera pointed at a rosy-cheeked toddler on a snow-covered porch.The boy looks to be no older than 2 or 3 but he's an expert at following directions … sort of. It's all still pretty new to him and‚ as anyone who's ever interacted with a toddler knows‚ multistep directions are not the way to go. They tend to hear one thing only and even then are apt to be distracted by a stray piece of lint and not be able to finish the task. Everything is new to a toddler and it doesn't take much to distract them. And just about anything can be a toy. So when this mom helped her son through an open window in an effort to guide him through the process of unlocking the door‚ classic toddler cuteness ensued. The desperate mom explains in the video that she left one window unlocked and you can see immediately that there's no way an adult could fit through the small space without injury. So instead she uses her toddler to do it and once he's inside the house his instructions are to get a chair … he finds a bowl. His mom tells him‚ "Focus. Focus. Grab the chair and take it to the door."What do you know? That sweet boy did just as he was told. Until he found a rock. Mom quickly refocuses the boy and the chair is back on the move‚ then he finds the fireplace tongs and takes a break to play with the fireside tools stand. Eventually the little guy succeeds in his mission but the journey there was the cutest maze of side quests you'll ever see. Watch him rescue his mom below: @gesikaaaaaa Thank god for tiny humans #bne #lockedout #tinyhuman #mamashelper #breakingin #DoTheSmartThings #toddlercomedy #kidtok This article originally appeared on 1.4.23

There's no denying that a wedding day is a special memory most people want to hold onto for the rest of their lives. It's the reason people spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on wedding pictures and hand out disposable cameras to guests—to capture memories from all angles‚ including behind-the-scenes moments that you may forget due to the nerves beforehand. One mother of the bride decided to take her daughter's beautiful wedding photos and create a special personalized photo album. But upon further inspection of the gift‚ the bride noticed that something was amiss. Niki Hunt‚ told Good Morning America that when her mom‚ Sherry Noblett‚ gave her the wedding album at brunch‚ she admitted she may have messed up. "She’s very crafty‚ so usually when she says something like that‚ it’s something really small. I'm thinking some of the pictures are askew‚ or whatever‚" Hunt explained to GMA.The book was a beautiful‚ sweet gesture for the newlyweds created with Shutterfly‚ a photo site that allows you to make keepsakes out of your pictures. It appears to be a well-crafted‚ good-quality album as long as you only look at the photos. When Hunt's eyes drifted to the captions next to the pictures‚ she noticed the mistake.Shutterfly generates automatic generic captions next to the photos‚ which can be edited to fit what is happening in the pictures. But Noblett either didn't notice the captions or assumed they wouldn't show up in the final product if she didn't edit them. This mishap meant there were wedding pictures next to captions detailing a beach day‚ time at a park and even the four seasons. Hunt and her sister could not contain their laughter in the restaurant and decided to record their reaction. The TikTok video has been viewed over 4.2 million times and the comments are full of people joining in on the laughs."Not the groomsmen being labeled summer‚ winter‚ spring and fall like it's a spicy calendar‚" one person wrote."Imagine your great-great-great-great-grandchildren discovering this in a box and reading it with no context lmaooo‚" another said."When ChatGPT makes a photo album‚" someone commented.You can see all the wacky captions in the video below: @niki_nibs Our mother is single handedly the most hilarious person we know‚ and its usually completely on accident.

Dating has certainly evolved over the years—we’ve gone from courtship being purely a financial arrangement (not that this trend has ever truly died) to knights jousting for a lady’s favor‚ to casual hookups … and now‚ romance is primarily found through an app more than anything else.Technology used for meeting that special someone has become so advanced that you can base your search entirely upon specific interests. Like … oddly specific interests. Think a fellow cat person would be the purrfect match? There’s an app for that. Wish to “love long and prosper” with a fellow Trekkie? There’s an app for that too.No matter the changes‚ one thing remains the same—dating is awkward. It’s got all the unspoken formalities of a job interview‚ disguised as innocent fun. The balance between playing it too cool and too eager is hard to find even for the smoothest among us‚ and usually results in total embarrassment. Even if we aren’t the ones committing those embarrassing acts ourselves‚ we are often the reluctant witness to them. Terrible dates might not always be fun in the moment‚ but they can be just as important as the good ones. They can teach us a lot about ourselves and what qualities we want in a partner. And at the very least‚ they can teach us to embrace social clumsiness with a sense of humor.Jimmy Fallon recently asked his “Tonight Show” audience on Twitter to share a “funny or embarrassing first date story” for his ever popular #Hashtags segment. The best part—some of these awful first dates ended in marriage. There’s hope for us all.Below‚ find 15 stories that are truly the best of the worst. How do some of your first dates compare?1.

Not only was she not impressed. The next morning I woke up with heartburn.” –@Dmonster3813. “My date showed up with his bestie and girlfriend‚ and they talked through dinner about people I don’t know.

When polarization starts to feel like a defining characteristic of humanity‚ sometimes we need a reminder that people really are capable of coming together as one.Watching a stadium full of Green Day concertgoers bust out their best "Bohemian Rhapsody" when it came over the loudspeakers is just such a reminder.As the person who uploaded the concert footage to Reddit noted: "For almost 6 minutes‚ the equivalent of a small city sang‚ with one voice‚ the beautiful song of a man who has been dead for decades. If you can do this‚ you're not just a famous person‚ you're a legend."What could be more palette-cleansing than hearing thousands of people breaking into song together for an entire six minutes? What's more unifying than a piece of music being so beloved and well-known that a whole stadium knows every note and word and sings it in unison with all their heart?via GIPHYAs one commenter on Reddit wrote‚ "Ever notice how one crowd singing together always sound the same as other crowds‚ as in has the same tambre [sic] and sound quality? It's like the recognizable and familiar voice of humanity. Regardless of how different the people in the crowd are‚ the crowd always sounds the same. I think the idea that we are listening to humanity's voice when hearing a crowd sing is a beautiful concept."Listen to the voice of humanity. It's truly a beautiful thing.This article originally appeared on 03.03.20
