JOP JOINTS
Hi,
about Robert Johnson's music again, Dylan says:
'I thought about Johnson a lot, wondered who his audience could have been. It's hard to imagine sharecroppers or plantation field hands at HOP JOINTS, relating to songs like these.'
What were exactly these HOP JOINTS could someone explain it to me?
Thanks, Jo.

Hi, A 'hop head' is an old-fashioned term for someone who smoked marijuana. A 'joint' is a place with a low reputation. Ths, I'd guess this is a place that people used to go to smoke marijuana.
