27

Jimi Hendrix was 27 when he died. So was Janis Joplin. So was Jim Morrison.

Now Amy Winehouse has died at the same age.

Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison all seem like tragic figures to me. All I can feel about Amy Winehouse is a weary, "Well, we could all see it coming."

Is that because I am a whole lot older and less innocent now, or is it that the world is a more cynical place?
