The 27 club (thing)

The 27 club is asuperstition involving the death of intensely talented music celebrities who died at age 27. The 27 club consists of music legends Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Brad Nowell. Each of these performers were prodigies in their musical genre, Joplin for Blues, Hendrix for Classic Rock, Morrison for Acid Rock, Cobain for Grunge, and Nowell for Raggae/Ska.They all met untimely deaths and left the music world wondering what might have been.

I guess the moral is, "If you're worth your salt, you'll never see 28."

Or perhaps, the moral is, "Don't do heroin or date Courtney Love."
