On this week's episode of Listener Land, hosts Louis, Geoff, and Wayne dive into the dark allure of the notorious 27 Club. Join them as they explore the storied deaths of music icons like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse, all of whom tragically passed away at the young age of 27. Why does this specific age represent a musical breaking point? The trio discusses possible reasons, from the dangerous excesses of fame to struggles with mental health and addiction. Though a sobering topic, the conversation unfolds in the show's signature irreverent style. Stick around for stories of wild antics, reflections on the cultural landscape of those times, and theories about the meaning behind the 27 Club curse. A thoughtful dialogue on talent, tragedy, and legacy.
