LOL! The headline says it all in denial, all of them died at age 27 at the height of their fame.

Flame away.

I never heard of that before.

It’s often said that the satanists running the entertainment industry think it’s a good idea to sacrifice people at the age of 27.

[Disambiguator]

Burning out and actually dying are two different things. Who writes this stuff?

[nickcarraway]

I think it’s true in the sense that people in that profession often have dangerous elements to their life and come to an unfortunate end. It doesn’t matter if they were 25, 26, 28, whatever.

Although he was well before rock’s 27 club, delta bluesman Robert Johnson fits the pattern.

[ansel12]

Willie Nelson didn’t make the list.

The source is a very old, well-known (in some quarters at least) black newspaper, FWIW.

Alan Wilson, vocalist and guitarist for Canned Heat also died at age 27,i think of an overdose.

Any list without Pigpen isn’t worth the paper it’s written on!

On the other hand, some of the rockers from my high school days are still alive: Jagger/Richards, Eric Burdon, Dave Clark, Peter Noone (Herman’s Hermit’s), Mike Love (Beach Boys), among others. Some are still performing.

There was a Club 47 where Jim Kweskin used to play, but he’s still alive.

Sociologists trying to sound smart. From The Conversation, so not to be taken seriously anyway.

[Olog-hai]

So something can be real and false at the same time?

Sounds like doublethink to me. Also sounds like someone completely misunderstands what the phrase “27 club” means.

[Albion Wilde]

all of them died at age 27 at the height of their fame drug abuse.

Fixed it.
