Pigpen is Forever 27 Kurt Cobain's Last Words - The Twelve Tribes

Forever 27
Some of the most famous
rock musicians in
history died at the age of
27. In the minds of many
they are “Forever 27.”
But where are they now?
Some would like to think
they are at a big party in the
sky. Some say, “Heaven
must have one hell of a
band.” Some may hope
for an eternal life full of
“sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’
roll” in heaven. How
many have bought
into the rock n’ roll
fantasy presented to
the young people of
America? The record
company executives
have profited untold
millions, destroying
young lives.
The wild, fastpaced
lifestyle of
these musicians has
captured the attention
of millions. It seems as
if they lived an exciting
life, but what caused them
to die so young? Why is
suicide thought to have
been involved in each one of
their deaths? What caused
all the loneliness and pain
that they tried to cover up
with drugs and alcohol?
They started their careers
broke and homeless; they
ended their careers rich
and famous. Why couldn’t
that make them happy?
Can’t Buy Me Love
All the money they had
couldn’t buy love, and all
the fame they had couldn’t
give them peace. They
watched all the people draw
near when they became
rich and famous, acting as
if they really loved them
as a person. Every time
these musicians tried to
love someone, they would
find out that people’s true
motives were to gain fame
and fortune for themselves.
Perhaps that was what Jimi
Hendrix was suffering with
when he wrote the note
that was found next to his
drug-overdosed body:
FOREVER 27
The
story of
life is quicker
than the blink
of an eye;
the story of love is hello
and goodbye…
If only he had known
that life can go on forever
in peace, and a love can be
found which never departs.
The more people are
overtaken by their selfish
ambitions, the further they
drift from the image of God,
and the purpose for which
they were created. Pure love
cannot be found through
someone’s selfishness. The
empty husk of love people
settle for in selfishness
eventually passes away.
They get
connected to an evil realm,
which promotes living for
themselves with little or
no thought for how they
ruin the lives of others.
They soak themselves in
drugs and alcohol trying to
escape the screaming voice
of their conscience. They
can’t help but dig the same
grave for anyone willing to
listen. This spirit tries to
capture young people who
are easier to convince and
not so set in their ways.

Morrison sang,
The Path
of Fame
and
Fortune
Gonna’ make it,
baby, in our prime
Come together one more
time 1
What was he thinking
when he said, “make it”?
Did he anticipate how his
life would end up? Did
his fans? If you follow
someone you will end up
where he is going. Those
who follow this reckless
path will end up where
it leads… IN DEATH.

Death speaks through
these musicians, trying
to direct your way of life.
It glorifies living on the
edge, tempting death. It
tries to make you think
you’re invincible.
Well, I woke up this
morning, and got myself
a beer. The future’s
uncertain, and the end
is always near. 2
When death’s
“Forever 27 CLUB”
started to take shape,
it quickly captured the
attention of people all
over the world. The media
took off in full swing (to
their music), promoting
these young, dead
musicians for every
penny they were worth.
They were 27, and died on
drugs. Now the criteria
for being a “legend” in
the music scene changed.
If you really wanted to
be remembered, you had
to be… FOREVER 27.
It’s Better to Burn
Out than Fade
Away
Kurt Cobain was
one of the most famous
musicians in the 90s. His
drug-laced music was a
magnet to anyone who
was looking for a change.
He soon found himself
on top of the music
charts, looking down at
the life he once had. He
had become an idol and
a perfect tool for evil
spirits to speak through.
By the time he turned
27, he felt as though he
had reached the peak
of his career. He found
himself on the same
peak that his heroes had
stood on years before.
