I recall from when I was a kid hearing what turned out to be one of a
million variants of a Black folktale called Wicked John. The man is
kind of like Stagolee. All I remember (I heard it in 1957) is that he
finally dies, Heaven refuses him, he goes to Hell, and the Devil hands
him a torch. "Wicked John, you're too bad even for me, you go start a
Hell of your own!"
Excuse me, I'm going back to reading Sarah Vowell's last book and
praying real hard.
