Were Amy Winehouse, James Dean and Superman cursed?

Erin writes . . .

Before Seth and I went to Shenaya I would have scoffed at the idea of curses harming people. Now I know better.

Take Amy Winehouse. Was it just alcohol and drugs that killed her, or was it something more sinister? Was she actually cursed to die at 27 years old? 

Yes, if you are a believer in the FOREVER 27 CLUB. 

The what club, you ask. Also known as the 27 Club, this is the final resting place for the talented and cursed. Composers, conductors and wild party rockers have all found their away into this elite club by dying at age 27. 

You don’t believe me? Check this out. Jimi Hendrix, Janice Joplin, Brian Jones and about forty other musicians, dating back from as far as 1892 to 2011, all died aged 27. How? Accidents, murders, plane crashes, drugs. The list goes on. Coincidence or curse? You tell me….

So Seth and my next couple of blogs will be about curses. Why, especially coming so soon after love? Simple. In Shenaya to love is a curse. A curse whose only antidote is . . .  you’ve got it. Love. That's why we have a real interest in curses. Maybe if we can explore enough of them we'll figure out how to lift the curse tormenting so many in Shenaya.

But, we've come to realise, curses are strange things. You either believe in them or you don’t. Sadly, whatever your view, it doesn’t seem to stop curses causing havoc in our lives if we stray into their orbit - as so many innocents have discovered to their peril.

I can almost hear your sceptism, and I wrote the book on sceptism. But to convince you let’s look at some bizarre coincidences which leave the rational mind reeling. 

Take the gorgeous JAMES DEAN.

(I know, I’m only 17 and I wasn’t even a twinkle in anyone’s eye when he was acting in movies like Rebel Without Cause, but he’s still hot with a capital H. See pic for proof!) 

Did he die in a car crash, or was it a curse that killed him?

 And what about the HOPE DIAMOND? Did it have a hand in the deaths of Louis XIV, Louis XVI, and Marie Antoinette?

And SUPERMAN? Is there more for the Superman actors to fear than just kryptonite? 

What do you think? I'd love to hear your answers before I tell you what we've discovered.

P.S. Seth loves cars – especially fast ones – so he’s finally agreed to write a post. Watch this space next Monday when he reveals all about James Dean’s The Little Bastard, a Porch Spyder, otherwise known as the cursed killer car.
