    I don’t understand your point. People don’t agree with the song because they believe the lyrics would be different if it were written somewhere else? I’m confused what you’re trying to say.

      The hero of the song bets his soul against a golden fiddle that he can beat the devil in a fiddling contest because of his pride. People wouldn’t agree that this is a good thing. For example, most people wouldn’t teach their children this story as if Johnny was a hero, but that’s how he’s portrayed in the song.

      This is the best I can explain it. If you keep asking the same questions past this point, I’m going to assume you’re just trolling me.

        Gonna have to agree with the one replying to ya here - you did not explain what you meant at all.

        Goodness gracious. I literally just didn’t understand your point. 🙄
