True, but since it was the b-side to Ring Ring (German version) it still 
wouldn't be as featured as an a-side would have nor would a Mo lead vocal on 
the b-side of a Bee Gees single.

A&B - maybe, maybe not.
Overnight - definitely.
Think I have to revisit Elisa again

I would hope that we see a CD of Maurice' unreleased works in the future. Would 
be a nice treat.

the group in whatever direction.  Maurice laughed and smiled a lot

tongue-in-cheek references to being cast aside, ignored, dominated,

I often wonder if they regret that now.>>>

Subject: Barry and his brothers/Malcolm and his brothers


Here's something I was pondering yesterday.

Yesterday, I started thinking of the sitcom Malcolm in the Middle and =
drew comparisons and similarities with the Gibb brothers to the brothers =
on Malcolm in the Middle - mainly, their ability to get into trouble =
when they were younger.

Barry =3D Francis - mainly because Francis was the oldest.

Robin =3D Malcolm (because they're both the "middle" of five kids and =
because Malcolm is the one with the genius IQ (165) and Robin comes =
across to me as being quite intelligent. I'm not saying the others =
weren't, but I pick up the stereotypical "eccentric intellectual" image =
from Robin.

Maurice =3D a Malcolm/Dewey - because out of the brothers, those two =
were probably the friendliest.

Andy =3D Dewey - because, until Jamie came along, Dewey was the baby - =
and Andy was always the "baby" of the family.

I bet no one ever thought that the Bee Gees and Malcolm in the Middle =
could ever be related!

Subject: Cowards react & cowards hide


In my experience, cowards react with offensive words to issues that would
not normally turn the head of a secure person. They also use anonymity to
mask their cowardice...

I find it best to ignore them.  Giving them a platform or acknowledgment in
any way, gives power to their weak attempt at action.  Although a little
public humiliation does go a long way...

Excert of article mentioning Robin

COPYRIGHT : SOCIETIES OF AUTHORS GET A GOOD HEARING.
European Report 6/20/06

'Copyright societies do not work against the interests of their authors.
The European Commission has taken this message on board', according to
European societies of authors and composers (royalty collecting society)
which, at a three-day hearing in Brussels last week, defended their
contractual practices regarding the transmission of music over the
Internet, cable and satellite, which the European Commission deems
anti-competitive.

Some 200 delegates representing societies of authors and composers,
authors, plaintiffs and Internet, cable and satellite users, were heard
behind closed doors by the Commission's Competition DG from 14 to 16 June.
'The hearing passed off better than anticipated and without any clashes',
according to a source close to the dossier. Speakers including artists
like Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees and French singer and songwriter Yves
Duteil were not out of place, he said.

Yes, at the "One Night Only" 1997 Las Vegas concert, not at the "One For All" 
1989 Melbourne concert which Marty was referring to. At One For All it was 
Barry who uttered that routine and Maurice swaggered to the center mic. At One 
Night Only he stayed put behind the keyboard and sang Closer Than Close after 
Robin introduced him.
