Being a rock n roll fan, i was familiar with the 27 club - Jones, Hendrix, Joplin, Cobain and Winehouse. (and since i love blues - new of Robt Johnson as well). However, the author has expanded the 27 club (or at least done the research and identified) with many more members, drawing primarily upon the arts. None of the bios or portrayals is very detailed (there are excellent existing biographies of many of these artists), but it does provide an introduction and starting point for further reading.Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. This book was a surprise in several ways. Unlike many who tackle the subject Edwards addresses the paucity of evidence that there is an actual curse. He then goes on to write short but accurate and thorough descriptions of the lives and accomplishments of 27 individuals. Yes, he includes the 'evergreen' examples of Jones, Joplin, Hendrix and Morrison but then he goes on to include individuals who were not musicians and more impressively, not Europeans or North Americans. I finished the book feeling that I wanted to investigate the cultures and milieus of many of the individuals whose lives he sketches.Well written, well researched and informative. The is little more one could have asked for the author. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. The 27 Club: Curse or Coincidence by Chance Edwards 2 stars. I was looking forward to this book and a deeper look at the mysterious 27 club. So many famous and infamous people are dying at age 27. What is going on? Sadly, this book will tell you nothing except what you could find out yourself with a Google search. It is an extended term paper of 20 mini biographies crushed into 99 pages...this book was given to me or I would be asking for my money back. Do your own research and you will find that people are born and die every day, there is nothing mysterious going on. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. An interesting anthology of the worst days in pop culture history. Some of the names you know and some you don’t. I found the non American ones to be interesting, as a early 90s American child. The research put into the book was well crafted, and it was a quick read. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. Wow! There are even more memvers of the 27 Club than I knew about. And it was so interesting to readd about them, and the links between all the members was fascinating. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
During a two year span, from 1969 to 1971, the world of rock-and-roll was devastated by the loss of four of its biggest talents - Brian Jones (founder of the Rolling Stones), Jim Morrison (founder and lead singer of the Doors), Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix. They were all 27 years old when they died, and thus, the myth of the 27 Club was born. Each new generation seems to lose at least one influential artist to the infamous 27 Club. This book explores the legends and theories about the 27 Club, as well as the incredible true stories behind the iconic celebrities who tragically became its members. It covers musicians, artists, athletes, and entertainers from the past century and around the world, including Basquiat, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, Rodrigo, Anton Yelchin, Jonghyun, and more.
