No Longer the Soul Owner

Now this is a depressed and sad musician.

They say Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil in exchange for becoming the very best musician ever. While I don't believe a word of that (because the man had the voice of an angel, even though it was haunted by demons, but they were earthly demons if you listen to his lyrics), at least that transaction had an understandable motivation. 

This guy was just looking for the highest bidder on ebay. 

Let's say he did sell his soul for money. What on earth (pardon the pun) do you spend that particular pile of cash on? I mean, once your soul is sold, what is the point of acquiring anything anyway? Don't you just kind of walk around like a flapping, empty puddle of flesh, waiting for your body to just sort of waste away, knowing that, at least in your case, that's really all there is? What do you buy in the meantime? 

Wouldn't it be easier and more spiritually safe to just do what so many others of us have done and get a day job?
