In this episode we discuss the cultural phenomenon of the age 27 that specific performers died at during the years 1969 to 1971. The statistical spike of high profile artists gave the name the 27 Club as it has been notably a strange coincidence that rising stars died at that age.
Some attributed to overdoses and suicide, others homicide and even accidental death, the life of fame is one that often ends in tragedy with the fast-paced lifestyle to keep up with the demand from the industry. Is it worth the price?
We take a look at the “Faustian Bargain;” surrender to the devil necessary in exchange for fame and popularity, as well as the industry demand, This is a spiritual bargain regardless the source whether figurative or literal.
We look at the first noted deaths of:
Brian Jones
Jimi Hendrix
Janis Joplin
Jim Morrison
But there have been others not so noted as early as 1930s and as late as recently in all entertainment.
However, we show that there may be a curse of ages on the “7s” as an expression of the Faustian Bargain made asa pact to the industry, and spiritually to the devil. Not everyone will agree, and it may only be a heightened suggestion, but something fishy is going on.
