I want to wish my brother Stephen a very happy birthday today.
When I turned 27, my first thoughts were that I had reached the age of premature rock genius overdose suicide. Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain had all died at the age of 27, having been afflicted with an unfortunate thirst. Just being 27 freaked me out for that very reason.
Now, my youngest brother has reached that age. Thankfully, he's not a musical genius. Not even close. Enjoy the day, bro!
