    On the rather spooky list of musicians who died age 27.

    Interesting.  Sad, but interesting.  I knew there was a list of them.  I didn't know how long it was. 

    RIP to all of them.

    Of that list (aside from the primary five which I knew), I recognized the bands, but not a single name looked familar to me.  I'm guessing that if you really took all the musicians who had died and plotted their death dates on a graph that being 27 would be less remarkable.  I could be wrong, but that's usually how it is with statistics.  Once someone says that it's spooky when a musician dies at 27 soon everyone is looking for others that also died at 27.
