Forever 27 club

If you listen to music alot, especially older music, then you may know what I'm talking about. The Forever 27 club is a club that consists of all musicians who died at the age of 27, and now with the passing of British soul singer Amy Winehouse, she is now added to the list.

    I loved Amy Winehouse. She sang from what was obviously a very bruised and battered heart. Kurt Cobain - possibly the most gorgeous man on earth. I love the video of him singing "Man who sold the World."
    We have had a 3 day free music festival in our city this weekend. It's been great - I thought about how much you would have loved it x
