back to black.
considering my obsession with superstitions, nirvana and conversely kurt cobain i had already planned to post and inform the world (my select readers ha) of the "curse of 27". but in light of recent events, now seems a more fitting time to post.
RIP amy winehouse and love to her family and friends. my mum text me the other morning to inform me of amy's death and immediately thought "i bet she is 27" (although, no one would have had any clue as to what i was on about). sure enough she was 27. she is now eligible (i really don't think that is the appropriate word to use) to join the exclusive, talented, missed, mourned and wonderful "forever 27 club".
the curse of 27, also known as the forever 27 club, is basically a group of famous musicians that have passed at the young age of 27. most notably Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain. there is also an extensive list of (not as famous) other musicians that too have died at the age. (i had actually discussed this with someone a few weeks ago but predicted that i unfortunately though gaga would be next, then again ...). here is a superb post about it from recent. 
i thought i'd leave you with more than just a cliched quote ending, but with the beautiful and last words of kurt cobain; up until a few days ago the most recent member of club 27.
i'm sure amy would be tickled ... to see the worldwide support she had/has.
