The 27 Club: Rock’s Fatal Age
Manage episode 508819794 series 3550987
In this episode the hosts examine the 27 Club — the cultural myth that many famous musicians and celebrities die at age 27. They trace the idea from its origins in the late 1960s through cases like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse, and explore explanations ranging from coincidence to cultural superstition.
The episode also looks at media references, the debunked “white lighter” story, and a long list of alleged members, inviting listeners to decide whether the pattern is meaningful or merely tragic coincidence.
