Oom
by: carolyn.rogers
The Great Oom: The Impropable Birth of Yoga in America is a history of yoga's early days in America. The spiritual discipline that is practiced now by more than 20 million Americans was once a fringe practice, its advocates treated as charlatans and, occasionally, criminals. Today the business of yoga has broadened to include novels, memoirs, hundreds of how-to-books, and magazines.

27 Club
by: reference

 

 

Unfortunately, the British singer Amy Winehouse (1983-2011) joined this club a few days ago. The 27 Club is the name used for those influential musicians that have died at the age of 27 years old. The list of artists that are part of the “club” has about 50 names but the most influential ones are:

  • Robert Johnson (1911-1938) – Blues Singer
  • Brian Jones (1942-1969) – Founder of Rolling Stones band
  • Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) – guitarist
  • Janis Joplin (1943-1970) – singer
  • Jim Morrison (1943-1971) – lead singer of “The Doors”
  • Kurt Cobain (1967-1994) – founder and lead singer of “Nirvana”

 

Their music continues inspiring others and entertaining generations even when, in most of the cases, they have been gone for decades.
