So in an earlier post on Robert Johnson i made mention of the forever 27, well this is what i am talking about. Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimmie Hendrix, and Kurt Cobain all died at the age of 27. Just thing of what else they might have accomplished if they had not met their untimely deaths. This is a poster i do own a copy of myself when i saw it i had to have it. On the back of mine it has a piece of paper that tell 27 referances to one of the 4 artist in the poster see if you can find them and i will post all the answers at a later date. I still stand behind my earlier comment that Robert Johnson should have been  included.

for more information on each of these artist i have provided a few links below

…….Only 27 yrs. old at the time of his death (Anyone familiar with the Forever 27 poster, I wonder why he was not included.)

***** Rated 5^th on Rolling Stones 100 Greates Guitarist’s of All Time.

As legend would say:

With the desire to a great blues artist, Robert Johnson took his guitar to the crossroads at midnight where he met a large black man (The Devil, Himself.) The man took the guitar from young Johnson and tuned it and in exchange for Johnson’s soul, the man gave him the ability to sing, play and create wonderful blues music for all to hear

Though not something that can be proven by any means, many have wondered if it was all just a joke handed down or if there is some truth to the whole selling you soul, regardless the music Robert Johnson made was legendary

I was sitting listening to the Bob Dylan song “Blowin In the Wind”, and thought how is it that I have not written a single solitary thing on Musiblog about Bob. The man has got to my favorite singer/songerwriter. I will keep this short and sweet but throw out a few links for those who are interested to check out and learn more. Even though I LOVE LOVE LOVE his music after checking his site I found that there were still a couple great songs that I thought were someone else’s, but he wrote them and other people made them famous that has got to be both thrilling and a bit of a let down I would imagine. He was a man full of inspiring words but still true to life in a very troubling time in the world. Even if his voice is a bit hard on the ears at times I believe this man deserves two thumbs up and hats off for all the wonderful music his has given to us over the years.
