What happens when you're barely an adult and you're given the keys to the castle? You have everyone eating out of the palm of your hand with every move you make. If you sneeze, the people want to know. Sounds pretty stressful. Now add a daily routine of substances just to feel a semblance of normalcy. That's what today's episode is about, more specifically the artists who left their mark, checked out, and ended up inadvertently joining the group of others like them that happened to make the same choices. We're diving into The 27 Club. Titans of their genres that showed us all that fame and fortune might not be all it's cracked up to be. Live fast, die young, leave a pretty corpse.

Also, if you're having issues with substance abuse or thoughts of ending your own existence. Please reach out to any of the organizations below. It can get better.

This is a good episode, few technical difficulties with the audio, but lots of stuff you probably didn't know. Enjoy! - C.
