I prayed so much I think that the Lord is sick of me, = I so hoped that he would be well again soon, never thinking that he = would not be here anymore. Barbara must be devastated, first Andy, then = Hugh and now Maurice. I know Barry and Robin are very sad about their = brother, I can't even begin to imagine how Yvonne and the children are = coping. I know that thousands of fans are as devastated as we all are on = this list. I have many photographs all over my TV room walls, every time I look at = Maurice I start crying all over again, it's just as well we have our = lists, other people who are not fans would think I'm insane. I know you = feel the same. I have always loved him too especially for his pranks, = always there with a joke and a smile, of course his many talents too. = May he rest in peace and I hope that Barry and Maurice can get to the = bottom of what these Doctors did wrong. It's just so sad that nothing = can bring our beloved Mo back to us :o(( Thank you for the joy and = pleasure you brought us Mo, you will always live on in our hearts. My thoughts and prayers to the Gibb family with love.

They did nothing. According to my mother (I don't get a paper but I did go out and buy one yesterday) there is nothing about him in there today and there was not yesterday. This is the Mobile Register in Mobile, AL. When Andy died, he was front page for two days! But not to have one little article on Mo? Nothing was said at all. I'm going to write to them. --part1_3f.168f32ab.2b55dc5b_boundary-- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2003 16:36:34 EST From: Ashleigh9601@wmconnect.com Subject: AMA --part1_12a.201a4aac.2b55dce2_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > I also stopped watching the AMA years ago.

The only good thing in my opinion is when someone from way back wins an award like the year Santana won so much, I enjoyed that. The only person I wanted to win anything last night was Sheryl Crow and I'm glad she did. I'm glad to see U2 and Bon Jovi still making some waves.

Who on earth buys that stuff? Why would anyone want to hear anything the foul mouthed Osbornes have to say, were they supposed to be entertaining? I used to have a lot of respect for Dick Clark but he must have his head up his butt for putting on an award show the likes of last night. What infuriates me is I only watched the show because I erroneously thought that they would mention Maurice's passing. The man was an icon in the music industry and to show such disrespect to his memory is shameful. To wait until the last 10 minutes (I only know this from reading the posts here because I fell asleep at 10:30) is appalling.

My family and friend keep calling me. It's been going on since Sunday. I don't answer their call I let the answer phone get it. Because I don't want to talk to them! What could they have to say to me that is so important? I mean I can almost guess everything they are going to say. "Well, He was not a family member, Or it must have been God's will, or some stupid thing!!!! :(* I mean what do they want? ME to cry in their face? Is any one else going through this ??? :( Can't people leave me alone and let me mourn Mo's passing? I just UN hooked all my phones. I pray they don't come over. I just can't deal with friends and family right now!!!! :(*** --part1_1a3.f1f2c3b.2b55e679_boundary-- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2003 14:28:45 -0800 From: "mitch sommers" Subject: Re: Digest (01/14/2003 16:03) Special Issue (#2003-3498) I feel the same way. It is all about ratings. Dick Clark probably thinks they all suck too. To me all rappers sound the same . What is with the Thug and Murder signs in the background of whoever they were Bobby Brown and someone else. Real nice. They walk, dance, sing, and talk the same. Wear the same kind of clothes and the names they come up with, what is wrong with their real names? As for country artists, allot of them sound the same to me too. Do they all use the same melody in every song or is it just me? I cannot tell one Shania Twain song from the next. The only reason I watched too, thank god I get east coast satellite so I wound not fall asleep, was for mention of Maurice. I feel it was my responsibility as a fan. When it was over and my husband asked, are you happy? I said NO! Then he said maybe the Grammys will pay him tribute. We will have to wait and see.. And Frankie I was wondering exactly the same thing. Look at the image we project and what the rest of the world thinks of us.
