This song mentions Jimi H., Janis J., Jim M. and B. Jones, who of course are Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Brian Jones. All of them are members of the so-called 27 Club: Edited by BaldFriede - October 21 2021 at 17:10 |

Arjen Anthony Lucassen's song titled Where Pigs Fly has such an ironic part:
Elvis was a vegan Dylan never got stoned Alice was known as Vincent And bowie was just Jones Michael looked like Michael Keith drank only juice Madonna was a virgin And Jimi played the flute |
