Forever 27 or Forever Forgotten?


















via UKrecordshop.com
         
                  Ah, the 27 Club. Consisting of famous musicians who have died at 27 years of age, they've inspired poster artists to create surrreal interpretations of heaven in which Jim Morrison reads his poetry to a lizard, and Jimi and Janis share a bottle on a melting futon. But what about those other musicians not popular enough to make it into the lofty realms of stoner air brush artistry? Those musicians who died at the right age, but hadn't the star power to be forever immortalized under a blacklight? Here's a list of Dead at 27 musicians you'll never see hanging in some frat boy's dorm room:

Pete Ham, singer of Bad Finger

Gary Thrain, Uriah Heep bassist

Pete de Freitas, Echo and the Bunnymen drummer

Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, keyboardist of the Grateful Dead

Mia Zapata, Gits singer

Robert Johnson, blues musician

        Will the recently deceased Amy Winehouse join the more celebrated musicans in poster form? I don't know, but I think I'm more interested in visiting the uncelebrated part of rock n roll heaven. I imagine the egos are smaller, at least.

 Wait..could it be? Far, and very small at the top of the page--it is! It's Robert Johnson! Painted in almost as an afterthought.Well, good for him.

To The Bluejay Who Thinks He Has The Run of My Yard:


To Wit:  I'm not interested in killing two birds with one stone, I'm only interested in killing one-you. In fact, I don't care how many stones it takes, nor neighbors windows I shatter in the process. How many times must I clean my car? I'm tired of your gloating squawk, the sparrows are tired of your gloating squawk, and the cats are tired of your gloating squawk. Here's hoping a 4th of July rocket shoots horribly awry & destroys your bachelor nest, & you along with it. There's a reason you're alone, sirrah.
