Delta Slim

Mm-hmm

... uh, Delta Slim.

And then you turn-

Yep

It's beautiful.

They then arrive at the train station, which is a very interesting spot, because we're kinda like, "Wait, are they going on a train? Like, what's happening here?" And we find out that they are there to recruit legendary bluesman Delta Slim.

After going back and forth on form of payment with Delta, 'cause Delta's like, "Hey, I don't really need to go to your guys' juke joint.

I've got a good thing at the one I've been playing at for the n- last 10 years, and I'll probably be playing at for the next 10 years.

Yeah, and they ha- they have that back and forth with their exchange about their past.

And he tells her, he's like, "It's not like I didn't think of you every single day." But then they kind of, like, break off from each other, and that's all we get in that moment.

Then we skip ahead to Delta Slim, and he's performing, he's doing so good.

Everybody's loving him on, on the stage.

So I don't remember for sure if this was coming out of his mouth, but somebody was talking about the gospel and religion and Christianity, I assume specifically being like forced upon them from, I assume from the position of like a master kind of relationship and saying how that was like, it was both comforting, but it was also not an awful, I feel like there were threads throughout about religion being used as a tool of oppression and also about kind of the distinction between like integration in communities, like as in people, various races being able to kind of coexist and respect each other and live, you know, in a community together versus like, forced assimilation having white culture kind of crammed down people's throats there were threads of commentary I thought about that and so I just feel like that ties into the religion piece like there was there was critique of religion or at least I found bits of it floating around there I think often coming out of the vampires mouths and it felt legit and the vampires did seem opposed to the religion so it was like the sort of confusing thing is like who was good and who was evil in that

I mean, so Delroy Lindo, who plays, I guess, Delta Slim, I never got his name, but is the harmonica player, he says, right, he says this was not forced on us, like that religion.

This is from, we brought this with us, like in here or something.

Yes.
