Looking at the history and coincidences behind the 27 Club, a tragic collection of famous celebrities who passed at that age, including Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and more.Support us directly: https://www.redwebpod.comWhen a young person skyrockets to fame, how they deal with the pressure can often make or break the rest of their life. Drugs and partying; the classic rockstar lifestyle is often the downfall of these young, up and coming stars. And as the 60s faded into the 70s, some started to notice an odd pattern; several of the most iconic musicians in the world, all died within a very short timespan. But the strangest part? They were all the exact same age. Today, we're investigating the history and theories behind the infamous 27 Club.Sensitive topics: Suicide, suicide attempts, drug overdose, drug addiction Learn more about your ad choices.

On July 3, 1969, Brian Jones — the brilliant but troubled founding member of The Rolling Stones who helped shape the band's early sound through his adventurous blend of blues, rock, and world music influences — died at his home in Sussex, England at the age of 27. At the time of his death, Jones had only recently been dismissed from the band he created, as years of substance abuse, legal troubles, and growing tensions with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards had left him increasingly isolated from the group's creative direction. More than half a century later, Brian Jones -- who tragically became a member of the so-called "27 Club" when he died -- remains one of rock's most enigmatic pioneers, a gifted musician whose restless experimentation helped launch one of the greatest bands in history.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 269Few figures capture both the excitement and the cost of the 1960s quite like the young musician at the heart of this story. Gifted, inventive, and endlessly drawn to new sounds, he helped lay the foundations for a band that would redefine rock and roll. Yet while the music grew louder and the crowds grew larger, his place within that world became increasingly uncertain. In just a few remarkable years, admiration turned to pressure, success to struggle, and extraordinary promise to enduring tragedy. More than half a century later, his influence remains unmistakable, while the circumstances of his final days continue to invite debate. This is a life of remarkable creativity, dazzling highs, and one of rock music's most enduring mysteries.Support the showInsta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.com

The Author Events Series presents Bob Spitz | The Rolling Stones: The Biography In Conversation with Dan DeLuca All great music is a threat. What left is there to say about The Rolling Stones? A hell of a lot, it turns out. Bob Spitz has brought his indefatigable energy and five decades of experiences in the fields and hollows of rock 'n' roll to bear on his five-year journey to reexamine one of popular music's greatest stories. There are myriad revisions to the conventional narrative which underscore just how in control of that narrative the band has been up to now-small example: no, Muddy Waters was not mopping the floors at Chess Records when the Stones showed up. But in a larger sense, as with the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, Spitz's greatest gift is for the big picture. He knows where the magic is, and why it is. He is as clear-eyed a connoisseur of the show business, the spectacle and the collateral damage of this whirlwind as anyone alive, and that lucid gaze pierces a lot of incrusted bullshit, but the ultimate goal is to connect with a creative force whose power shows no signs of fading, over sixty years on. At its heart the story is about two boys, Mick and Keith, and their unique, fraught, alchemical bond, often tested, never sundered. The Glimmer Twins. The bandmates, like Charlie Watts, who found their groove in relation to this double star made the trip intact, while those who struggled, like Brian Jones and Mick Taylor, were chewed up and spit out. This is a story with many dark corners, including a surprising number of deaths. But whether Jagger and Richards sold their souls to the devil is at the crossroads for blues greatness or just squeezed their heroes for every drop of inspiration, in the end their connection to their music and to each other put them in a category of one, where they very much remain. Bob Spitz is the award-winning author of the biographies The Beatles and Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child, both New York Times bestsellers, as well as six other nonfiction books and a screenplay. He helped manage Bruce Springsteen and Elton John at crucial points in their careers. He's written hundreds of major profiles of figures, ranging from Keith Richards to Jane Fonda, from Paul McCartney to Paul Bowles. Dan DeLuca is the pop music critic for the Philadelphia Inquirer. He's been writing about music and pop culture for the Inquirer and other outlets for more than three decades. He grew up at the Jersey Shore and is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. He has interviewed Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Darryl Jones and saw the Charlie Watts Orchestra play at Pulsations nightclub in Glenn Mills, Pa. in 1986.

Books will be available for purchase at the library on event night! All tickets are non-refundable. (recorded 4/28/2026)
Mon invité aujourd'hui, Patrick Boudet, chroniqueur chez Rock & Folk et auteur de documentaires, notamment sur Brian Jones. Il vient de publier un essai au titre aussi provocateur qu'assumé : Le rock est-il réac ? aux éditions du Cerf.Un livre qui ne se contente pas de chercher la petite bête ou d'aligner les anecdotes people, mais qui propose une véritable analyse idéologique de la musique populaire depuis 1945 : le sexisme du glam, la provocation limite du punk, le paradoxe du rebelle milliardaire, la société marchande qui récupère jusqu'au collier de chien punk pour en faire des artefacts de luxe.Dans cet échange, Patrick démonte les certitudes, nuance les procès en réac, et pose la vraie question : peut-on rester un rebelle quand on est milliardaire ? Est-ce que le rock aurait la même saveur s'il était complètement purifié ? Et au fond, est-ce une musique de vieux ou une révolution hormonale permanente ?De la musique avant toute chose (Verlaine) Avec le volume sur 11 (Spinal Tap)On n'a jamais autant produit de musique qu'aujourd'hui.

Rock and roll has always had a shadow side, and Richard Syrett joins Jim to explore some of its strangest stories from his new book, Tales from the Rock and Roll Twilight Zone. From the roots of blues folklore and Robert Johnson's legendary crossroads tale to theories about the Beatles, “Paul is Dead,” and the eerie staying power of rock's greatest mysteries, Richard looks at why music history seems to attract so many strange rumors, unsettling coincidences, and unanswered questions. Jim and Richard also dig into the 27 Club, the tragic plane crash that changed Lynyrd Skynyrd forever, the mysteries surrounding Elvis Presley's final days, and the suspicious circumstances some have associated with the death of Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones. It is a wide-ranging conversation about fame, myth, tragedy, conspiracy, and the powerful hold these stories still have on music fans decades later.

Bob Spitz has written major biographies of the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, and now the Rolling Stones — but also, somehow, Ronald Reagan and Julia Child. In rock, his credentials were hard won: he started out hustling gigs for an unknown Bruce Springsteen for six years, moved on to handling Elton John's American business, and spent long enough in the world to find himself jamming with Paul McCartney and chatting with Bob Dylan on a stoop in the Village. The Reagan and Julia Child books are harder to explain, and perhaps that's the point—Spitz seems to do his best work when he has no business writing the book at all. Tyler and Bob discuss how the Stones became so great so quickly, what they added to the blues, how their melodies stack up against the Beatles', whether Exile on Main Street deserves its canonical status, which songs are most underrated, what Charlie Watts actually got out of playing in a rock band, the rise and fall of Brian Jones, how the Stones outlasted nearly everyone, the influence of Mick's London School of Economics training, why popular music has lost its cultural influence, what we should still be asking Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, whether the Beatles' breakup was good for the world, how senile Reagan really was in his second term and whether he was ever truly a communist, how good a cook Julia Child actually was, his next book on Lennon's second act, and much more.
