The 27 Club

A list of great people who have passed at the age of 27.

I have become convinced that there is a place in the afterlife that is neither heaven, nor hell.

A special place for those who were taken from us at an early age, yet left behind such a strong impression that it forces us to question what would have been had they have lived longer.

This is a place where true legends go after they have died-at the early age of 27. This is the "27 Club" and here are some of its' greatest members:

Robert Johnson: May 8, 1911 – August 16, 1938



Brian Jones: 28 February 1942 – 3 July 1969



Jimi Hendrix: (November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970



Janis Joplin: January 19, 1943 – 4 October 1970



Jim Morrison: 8 December 1943 – 3 July 1971



Ron "Pigpen" McKernan: September 8, 1945 – March 8, 1973



D. Boon: April 1, 1958 – December 22, 1985



Kurt Cobain: February 20, 1967 – c. April 5, 1994



Kristen Pfaff: May 26, 1967 - June 16, 1994



Pat Tillman: November 6, 1976 – April 22, 2004

rather interesting, yet really bizarre(note:I am referring to the majority of the rock stars in the "27 club") it's got to be more than coincidence that they are mostly from the same generation I liked the way this was put together I give this a "Must view" critique, great work Glen, a little mourbid, but who says that's a bad thing?
