Thanks for the fun questions, Glorfindel!
I'm running behind schedule (as usual), so here's a quick and easy (from where I'm sitting) one: - What is the "27 club"? - 1 point - 1 point for each member of this club I'll let it run till tomorrow, or until everyone has run out of ideas. The 27 Club is the set of musicians who have died at the age of 27. - Kumabjorn, 1 point. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse - Kumabjorn, 4 points Jim Morrison, Brian Jones - Orlok, 2 points Chris Bell - HomeInMyShoes, 1 point Robert Johnson - Poohbear, 1 point Last edited by Shayne Parkinson; 08-23-2014 at 05:16 PM. |

Considering your interest in Rock n' Roll I'm fairly confident we are talking about rock musicians who passed away at the age of 27. Janis Joplin, Jimmi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse come to mind. I'm sure there are more.

Very good, Kumabjorn! You're quite right, it's the set of musicians (not just rock ones) who have died at the age of 27, and the four you've named are all part of it.
5 points to Kumabjorn. Last edited by Shayne Parkinson; 08-22-2014 at 04:32 PM. |

Were any of the three on the plane in that group: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, or The Big Bopper?
Chris Bell? One of the members of Big Star dies pretty early. |

Speaking of this list, I read a book which was quite good that mentions Hendrix, Morrison and Wilson: Glimpses by Lewis Shiner

Clues for a few more:
The Drifters Badfinger Uriah Heep Echo and the Bunnymen Manic Street Preachers and one from a very (as in very) well-known group that's still around. |
