Curse of the 27 Club

About this episode

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.
