Room Full of Mirrors

I am just about finished with my first book, Scar Tissue, and am about to start Room Full of Mirrors by Charles R. Cross. It is a biography of Jimi Hendrix's life. Scar Tissue was a great book that gave a first hand account of what goes on behind the scenes in the life of a rock star. Kiedis told stories of drug and alcohol fueled parties, addiction, and intoxicated concerts. Thankfully Kiedis did not become a member of the infamous "27 Club." The 27 Club is a group of highly successful rock musicians that died at or around the age of 27, usually at the height of their careers. After doing some research, I've found that way more musicians died because of drugs than I thought. It's an unfortunate fact of life and we could all imagine what music would be like if people like Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain were still alive. I'm also going to watch the movie The Doors soon because it follows the short life of rock star Jim Morrison.
