I haven't decided what complicated curse this spell is for. I'm open to ideas.

David "Junior" Kimbrough was born in 1930 in the North Mississippi Hill Country. The Hill Country was a geographically distinct area of Mississippi that was generally overlooked as ethnomusicologists scoured the nearby Delta for blues musicians.
David would get out his father's and brother's hidden guitars while they were working on the farm. Then he taught himself to play be ear. He would also drink their whiskey. (So, I ask you, what was he gonna do but be a bluesman?) He learned from "Mississippi" Fred McDowell and was an inspiration to his rockabilly friend Charlie Feathers. Junior worked in a John Deere dealership in Holly Springs, MS until 1954, when he (and every other aspiring blues musician) headed to Chicago. Later he returned to Memphis performing and recording as "Junior" Kimbrough.
Junior got through life as a bluesman and a jack-of-all-trades. He was a mechanic, a sharecropper, and a moonshiner. He also was known for turning his home into a jumpin' juke joint on the weekends. Playing in juke joints was his bread and butter. He eventually bought his own, "Junior's Place" in Chulahomah, which stood until destroyed by an arson's fire in 2000.
All Night Long was produced by Robert Palmer (author of Deep Blues ) and was released in 1992. It was the premiere recording of the new Matthew Johnson's Fat Possum Records.
Junior only recorded two more albums: Sad Days, Lonely Nights (1994) and Most Things Haven't Worked Out (1997) both on Fat Possum. "Lonesome Road" is from the latter.
"Done Got Old" was recorded in 1988 with Junior's band in sessions that were released in 1997 as Do The Rump.
'Tomorrow Night' was recorded in the early eighties but didn't get
released until 1999 on a compilation, Deep South Blues.
Hard living and drinking took a toll on Junior's health and he died of
a heart attack in Holly Springs in 1997 at the age of 67. He had 36
children. I'm thinking that took a toll on him, as well.
Clean hands and dirty hands
The brown eye and the blue
Pale cheeks and rosy cheeks
Jesus loves you
If you come to Him today
He will wash your tears away
Your result for The Personality Defect Test...
You are the Haughty Intellectual. You are a very rational person, emphasizing logic over emotion, and you are also rather arrogant and self-aggrandizing. You probably think of yourself as an intellectual, and you would like everyone to know it. Not only that, but you also tend to look down on others, thinking yourself better than them. You could possibly have an unhealthy obsession with yourself as well, thus causing everyone to hate you for being such an elitist twat. On top of all that, you are also introverted and gentle. This means that you are just a quiet thinker who wants fame and recognition, in all likelihood. Like so many countless pseudo-intellectuals swarming around vacuous internet forums to discuss worthless political issues, your kind is a scourge upon humanity, blathering and blathering on and on about all kinds of boring crap. If your personality could be sculpted, the resulting piece would be Rodin's "The Thinker"--although I am absolutely positive that you are not nearly as muscular or naked as that statue. Rather lacking in emotion, introspective, gentle, and arrogant, you are most certainly a Haughty Intellectual! And, most likely, you will never achieve the recognition or fame you so desire! But no worries!
To put it less negatively:
1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive. 2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted. 3. You are more GENTLE than brutal. 4. You are more ARROGANT than humble.
Your exact opposite is the Schoolyard Bully. (Bullies like to beat up nerds, after all.)
Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Braggart, the Hand-Raiser, and the Robot.

I found myself watching videos from the V Festival last night, and holy crap. I was blown away by this:
