Jimi, Joplin, Jim Morrison, Cobain, Winehouse... Musicians that died at their peak, age 27.
What would each of their legacies have been, if they had lifted weights, enjoyed whey shakes, and used fish oil, and lived to be 70 or 80 years old?
The greatest of all time? Or would they have gotten fat, put out another five average albums, and now be photog'd in TMZ buying cat litter in flip flops?

sometimes I feel a little sad that I have lived a few years past all these cats yet my life hasn't really amounted to shit.

I'm going to open a franchise called Forever 27.

Winehouse, Cobain and Joplin all sucked. If they had not died they would have just continued on sucking. Lampreys of the music world. Not quite as sucky as rap arteests but then, who is?

I have a feeling you've accomplished a lot more than you give yourself credit for big guy!

Because I think his music sucked. Still do. It doesn't mean you can't like him or his music.

27 seems so random but makes sense to a degree when the rock star life cycle is broken down (particularly from the 60's/70's):
* early 20's: first rush of fame etc.
* mid-20's: the initial touring frenzy is out of the way. The rock star suddenly finds him/herself sitting on a shit load of money and a tonne of spare time
* coupled with the easy availability, pressures of fame, and often already existing inner demons the star develops a serious addiction
*This gets progressively worse over the next couple of years until around that age 27 the star's luck runs out...
As for how they would look now-
Jim Morrison would have been massively brando-esque fat as there were already signs of him being inclined to porkiness
Jimi might be pumping out some classy blues.
Cobain is a mystery, he was going all REM crazy towards the end (at least according to michael stipe) but who knows.
Brian Jones was just someone who was never going to be old, too insecure & brittle. Probably would have gone down the Brian Wilson psychiatric road.

I think it's just where you are in life. You're not quite to that responsible 30's age yet with kids and what not, but you could afford better and more drugs than in your early 20's and still have that "invincible" feeling.
Also, he was 28, but throw Bradley Nowell in there. Dude was an animal.

Same with Winehouse. Both her and Cobain were great. I don't know Joplin so I can't judge.

Passive-aggressive much?

Morrison wasnt at his peak...... he left the Doors and went to live the junkie life to Europe... sadly that didnt last long.
but thru the years he became an Iconic figure for dying so young so what gives?

I think if a person is healthy and free of pain then life is pretty good...
With social media and celebrity culture, we're constantly comparing ourselves to others and will never be happy this way.
