Re: Characters from Songs
Yeah, realized that later, I was thinking of the deal being made in Denmark, but Roland is canonically Norwegian.

Re: Characters from Songs
"The Devil Went Down to Jamaica." It's a parody of the original, frequently misattributed to Weird Al Yankovic (and so many others I honestly have no idea who actually made it), where the Devil goes to Jamaica intending to sell some marijuana, sees Johnny similarly peddling the ganja, and makes him a bet about who has the superior product. Rather than the Devil offering up a golden fiddle in exchange for Johnny risking his soul, he offers up a million dollars in exchange for Johnny risking his own stash of weed. Turns out Johnny's stash is sufficiently dank to defeat even the Devil's "stuff they smoked in Vietnam."
