Plans For New Year's Eve?

Re: Plans For New Year's Eve?

Dude, who is your avatar? I saw him on tv somewhere... didn't a jealous husband poison him or something?

Robert Johnson.

And yes. At his last performance, the husband of a woman singer Robert made advances on poisoned his moonshine. He kept playing until he was too sick to play. Although he sweated the poison out of his system, he caught pneumonia and died at the age of 27.

And for good measure...

Those who were there swear he was last seen alive foaming at the mouth, crawling around on all fours, hissing and snapping at onlookers like a mad dog. His dying words (either spoken or written on a piece of scrap paper) were, "I pray that my redeemer will come and take me from my grave." He was buried in a pine box in an unmarked grave...
