It had Simon Baker (Guardian) in it and I didn't recognise the other stars(?) Simon played a guy who found his friend on the bathroom floor after a drug overdose, and he was trying to revive him. He had him up and walking around, and I presumed from what he said next, his mate was a musician. He said to him something like "Bobby Sherman and the Bee Gees will always be remembered, but you won't be if you die now!". I thought it was amazing that for a movie I only saw two or three minutes of, the boys should be mentioned in that time. Doesn't take much to make my day! (Mind you, I could have done without the reference to Bobby Sherman in the same sentence) From Mary Pridham, Adelaide, South Oz ------=_NextPart_000_0010_01C2FA8D.4F1368C0-- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2003 09:36:11 +0930 From: "Mary Pridham" Subject: RE: (No Subject) Why? :-) From Mary Pridham, Adelaide, South Oz -----Original Message----- From: ListMember@brothersgibb.com [mailto:ListMember@brothersgibb.com] On Behalf Of caseyjorose@attbi.com Sent: Friday, 4 April 2003 8:41 AM To: words List Member Subject: (No Subject) -- Luv Ya, Nanc.E.

I swap them around when I just can't bear to hear the same songs anymore. That usually is about every couple of months. I only get to listen to them when I am driving by myself, as my husband likes to hear the engine more than wonderful music. Silly man - doesn't know what's good for him :-) We have a 12 CD stacker in our car, and I always have four Bee Gees discs to choose from. Can't remember what the other three are at the moment, as Living Eyes is the main one I am listening to.

The last time I heard "news" about the Bee Gees from someone at work, I got my knickers all in a twist until I realized that if nobody HERE (and on the other lists) knew about it first or confirmed it, it just wasn't so. I'd dearly love to see the two of them tour - I think we all would - but I seriously doubt it will happen for many reasons. I'd be thrilled to see them get back into the studio again, or just to see signs that they were writing together.

For those of you who have been indisposed for the last 12 or so days here are the rules one last time.... 1)NO STRESS (This is VOLUNTARY!!!!! This should be fun. If it isn't fun for you, then opt out of doing it. I won't tell anyone that you didn't participate.) 2)Listen to as much BeeGees music as you can over the next several days. 3)Make a list of 25 of your favorite BeeGees songs(Please keep your list to twenty five selections. If lists come in with more than 25 songs, I will only use the first 25 that appear on that list to keep the survey fair.) 4) E-mail me PRIVATELY at footere@cbpu.com with your list. Please DO NOT send your list to the ML. Send your list to ME at footere@cbpu.com 5) I will accept survey lists until APRIL 4, 2003. 6) At the end of the two weeks (April 5) I will compile the results and post them here on the ML. 7) After I have posted the new top 25 survey list I will re-release the results of the survey I did five years ago so we can all see if and how our tastes have changed at all.
