016 - 27 Club // Part One: Janice Joplin & Jimi Hendrix
Hi friends, it’s been a while.
First, we want to thank our faithful listeners for all your love and support - means the world to your Hollyweird girls. We have a special treat because you waited so patiently: not one, not two, but THREE episodes covering our most requested topic - The 27 Club.
In case you don’t live your life steeped in true crime and pop culture, the 27 Club refers to the phenomenon of many celebrities dying at the age of 27. The circumstances around each member’s death are different, but some still believe there may be a 27 Club curse *cue spooky music sting*. There are many members of the 27 Club that all deserve their own story, but we couldn’t cover them all, so we chose 5 that we believe represented the most interesting and diverse stories: Jimi Hendrix, Janice Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kristen Pfaff, and Anton Yelchin.
Episode one features two of the most legendary musicians of all time: Janice and Jimi. Join Meg & Liz as we examine the lives of two incredibly talented musicians: one who is commonly thought of as one of the best guitar players to ever grace a stage, and one whose signature voice and wild fashion sense influenced countless artists. Both of their lives were cut tragically short by addiction, but their paths to get there are two different stories.
