Life's a Gas

[57vintage]

The real tragedy of Judee is she not a real rock tragedy, Left it way too late to be a member of the 27 club, Without googling other members of the club ? I'll start wi the obvious... Jimi.

999?

[Unit (4+2) x The Big 3] + 9 Below Zero?

The Stones’ 5x5 EP + Rolf’s 2 Little Boys?

(The B52s x Un0.5bricking) + 1Up Records?

I ken fit you mean but it’s a dull as fuuck lazy journalist categorisation of unconnected musicians crashing and burning during any of the 365/366 days between their last day of being 26, and their 28th birthday. Janis Joplin died aged 27, 52 years ago today, incidentally. I remember it well since it was my brother’s 21st birthday, two days after the old fella’s funeral.

EDIT: we took the elder of The Progeny to see this on that individual’s birthday in 2012. My beautiful pal Angela D’Arcy played Janis, as she has done regularly in a revue of the Joplin life, and she always belts our Piece Of My Heart on gigs with her band (no pics, sorry - phone app). Brilliant show. Then the EOTP reminded me, as we watched England’s batsmen paste the Ocker bowling attack all round the ground in a nearby boozer afterwards,”Hemmin, Pater min, ye radge min - you DO realise that it’s my TWENTY SEVENTH birthday i’day, like?” Ooops.
