Everything from people's heads being stolen to people and places and things being cursed. There's a lot of cursed things, especially when you think about, you know, stories about music go all the way back to, you know, the. The beginning of recorded history. So I've stumbled upon these.

Think of it as an hour of entertainment where we're going to talk about some of the frighteningly strange history of music and composers and producers and songwriters throughout history.
