Who judged that fiddle contest anyway? Were there like a panel of demons or what?
Also, I doubt a gold fiddle would have a very good sound. Plus, it would get all bent up because gold is soft.
Honestly, I have problems with the whole thing. It makes me doubt it's true.
There is a sequel, where the devil comes back and challenges Johnny again.
Did he offer a more sensible prize?
He didn't even offer a prize at all, saying Johnny's own human ego and pride would be his undoing, that Johnny would play just for the prize of being able to say he really is the best.
Johnny recognised what the Devil was doing, still did it anyway, and it's heavily implied he still won regardless. Based af.
That's just not a good look, though. "YEAH, WELL, I BETCHA WON'T FIGHT ME AGAIN, BRO! COME ON, PUSSY!"
When that song was written honor was so deeply ingrained into our culture nobody even questioned the idea of the devil admitting he’d been beat.
Things were awkward when they all got home.
