Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix All Gone at 27

The 666 of Celebrity?

Twenty-seven years
Can be a brief but quick trip
Through celebrity.

    Very sad, gone much too soon with so much untapped talent yet to offer. No doubt Amy continues to sing with the angels!

    Definitely a tragedy! Lori/Oralee/Zona:)

    It's very sad, and that many at that particular age is kind of eerie for us no-such-thing-as-a-consequence people. It seems that living that hard with that volume of self-abusive lifestyles pre-destines the human body for early collapse. Thanks for these powerful twin haiku.
