Amy Winehouse, who over the weekend joined what Kurt Cobain's mom referred to as "that stupid club," got me thinking about that group of stars that perished at the age of 27.
Jim Morrison, whose larger than life mystique Amy Winehouse will never reach (she probably will in England, but the Brits are weird), was a tremendous writer and showman (or is it shaman?) but didn't always articulate his lyrics. Just what exactly is he singing in the opening line of "L.A. Woman?"
