O.K., folks this is required reading. It's filmmaker Michael Ventura's classic essay "Hear That Long Snake Moan," in which the author argues that blues, jazz, rock 'n' roll, TV evangelism, and a lot of our pop culture springs from the religion of voodoo.

By the way, "Long Snake" appears in Ventura's compilation Shadow Dancing in the U.S.A. . Amazon.com says it's out of print, but there are used copies available for real cheap.
