The 27 Club

With the recent death of singer Amy Winehouse there have been a lot of talks in the pop culture world about her being in the 27 club. For those of you who don't know what the 27 Club is, it is a group of prestegious and influential musicans who all died, mysteriously, at the age of 27. They include Brian Jones, the founder of the Rolling Stones. Jimi Hendrix, possibly the greatest guitarist ever. Janis Joplin, one of the first women to rock out. Jim Morrison, lead singer and songwriter for The Doors, and Kurt Cobain who founded Nirvana and is possibly one of the best lyricists ever. So, it is a shame Amy died, but, you can see her credentials don't match up to the leaders of the 27 Club. She's had 5 Grammy's, but in this day and age that means nothing to me. She shouldn't even be in the same breath as these musicians.

Also, all of the deaths had controversy like maybe there was some foul play going on. Maybe a muder case. And apparently her death was already confirmed an overdose. So not only do her credentials not match up, but also, her story doesn't. So I will leave our readers with a few links to decide. First a few on what the 27 Club actually is, and also, on Kurt Cobain's death. It may also be the most controversial death ever, so you'll see what the 27 Club is all about. Long live rock and roll!
