OK, here we go:

I am sure you are familiar with the song Silent Night. It is a historic fact that it was able to stop fighting between the British and Germans during WW1. This is an example that a song can be "blessed". I with I could write a song like that.

Several years ago a song was presented to a jury to show the state of mind of a couple fellows. These guys were making plans to break their buddy out of a county jail, they wanted to make a "switharoo" -- get their buddy out and put the jailers in his cell. According to a witness, the day before their attempt these two fellows were driving around in their car listening to a particular song non-stop several dozen times. So when they actually went to do their thing, they shot and killed two jailers. Was it that particular song that made them do it? I do not know. Oh, and that song was calling for "mo murder". Is this an example of a "cursed" song?

As for me, I hope to do a little magic every time I grab my guitar. Isn't it what we all want to do?
