About this whole "selling your soul" thing...

BRITISH ROCK LEGEND Sir Jeremy Freakout, who famously sold his soul to the devil on stage at Wembley Stadium in 1972, was said to be “apoplectic” yesterday, after Satan returned the soul and politely but firmly demanded a refund.

I went to the Crossroads and all I got were some rib tips. Good rib tips, but not a soul's worth.

You can thank Wall Street for that one too.

I missed the whole bubble. I sold my soul way too early. If I just coulda hung on until 2006, I'd really be coining it.

More on selling your soul to play smooth jazz:

ASK DR. BOLI. « Dr. Boli's Celebrated Magazine.
Quote:
”Smooth jazz” is the result of a Faustian bargain in which jazz musicians sell their immortal souls in return for the privilege of being heard in shopping malls and middlebrow restaurants all over the country. Jazz with the soul thus removed has none of the rough edges and sharp corners normally associated with the genre. Most musicians who are enabled in this way to make a steady living find that they do not miss their souls very much and can do without them quite comfortably.

It is worth noting that “smooth jazz” seems to have been fading in popularity over the last few years. Satanic pacts do generally come with expiration dates, and it is possible that “smooth jazz” musicians are now facing their dark overlord’s inevitable demand for payment. It is possible, also, that you are participating in their agreement with the powers of darkness merely by working in an establishment that plays their music. But you will probably not miss your soul any more than they do, if indeed it has not already been crushed out of you in the normal course of your employment.

I'd be happy to sell my soul, but so far there are no takers!

LOL, last I heard the devil was giving out rebates.

You've gotta look at it like hiring a broker.
If the Devil's in Hell? Why would I sell my soul to that cat...he obviously hasn't done so well with his own.
