But surprisingly it made me feel better indstead of worse. I am sure many of you will feel it the same way. Mo lives on through the music, that's one more reason to play it.

I couldn't open it. I'd be grateful if you could send me or the list the text. I met David at a booking signing. He's a really lovely guy. I'm three-quarters through the book, which is quite marvellous and gives a different picture of the brothers' personalities from everything else I've read. However, since Maurice was taken ill, I just can't pick up the book. Personally, I can't see when I'm next going to play one of their CDs, or when I'm even going to sit in front of the piano again. Hopefully I'll see things differently soon. -------------------- talk21 your FREE portable and private address on the net at htt p://www.talk21.com Order copies of Ordinary People, the new Bee Gees tribute album with a difference: www.tophatevents.co.uk/tribute.html -------------------- talk21 your FREE portable and private address on the net at http://www.talk21.com "Words & Music", Fans Of The Brothers Gibb ( Bee Gees ) http://www.brothersgibb.com To change any of your list options, please go to website listed above. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2003 07:53:47 -0500 From: "Georgette Hodson" Subject: BBC transscript Can someone please send me the BBC trans script The one sent to the list came to me in jumbled letters Thanks Georgette Dreams are made for those who really try Please visit my website http://www.geocities.com/wordsandmusic2002 _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2003 07:25:36 -0600 From: "Vivian Morrison" Subject: Re:lyric on your mind ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2003 13:29:40 +0000 From: Cristina Pimentel Subject: Announcement (Videos) First of all, I apologize to Chris for posting this without asking for permission first. ~Due to the fact that there have been several posts about people wanting to save streaming video onto their hard drives, specially Due to the fact that there has been a great deal of multimedia on the latest events, and that I have been approached (I am somewhat a pc guru) in getting this kind of stuff so they can keep it (in the lack of better words). I decided, after much thought, to create a mailing list just for this purpose. The rules there will be the same as in Gibby_Multimedia (another ML that I own) and the other multimedia lists that I have. So, if you're interested, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Dimensional_OmegaMan/join All I ask is for your patience, as I am getting things gathered up.

F. Mayer" Subject: Robin's Website, Reactions in Germany I cannot express my feelings in these days. I'll try to give some facts instead from this point of the world. It may have been posted before, but I haven't seen it, Lotti told me about: Robin has placed a "Message from Robin" on http://www.robingibb.com/ The reactions in Germany to Mo's death are massive. It was in all news programs on Sunday. Heute (ZDF) ended their report with the words: "Now, one voice is missing.", what surely filled thousands of eyes with tears, three pairs in our house included. Radio stations paid their tribute by playing their music and airing interview parts. For instance, the radio station SWR1 played one song each hour on Sunday and most of Monday and had a 2 h special Monday evening, including e.g. "Fight (No Matter How Long)". They ended one of their first reports with "Don't Forget To Remember", another was followed by "First of May". Manfred told me, that an oldies station in Hamburg had exclusively played Bee Gees songs on Monday from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. (if I remember correctly). Deutschlandfunk re-aired a long interview Monday night. Many other stations did similar things and asked listeners to call in. Newspapers had it on the frontpage on Monday and a larger article inside. Somebody said, "it's like a statesman has died". It's more.

Basoa" Subject: Bad taste Is this guy stupid or what?! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/2660991.stm : Complaints over Norton Bee Gee joke TV watchdogs have received a number of complaints following a joke by TV presenter Graham Norton about the death of Bee Gee Maurice Gibb. On his programme, V Graham Norton, on Monday night, the presenter said: "I bet the heart monitor was singing the tune of Staying Alive." The Independent Television Commission (ITC) said it had received 13 complaints about the joke, which was made a day after the singer died in Miami on Sunday. A spokeswoman for the ITC said the number of complaints was "quite high for Graham Norton's programme". Investigate "People rarely complain to us about Graham Norton's programme because they know the kind of content he has on," she said. Stand-up comic Norton has won many awards for his shows, on which he interviews star guests, talks to members of the audience and features unusual internet sites. Last year he won the title best comedy entertainment personality as well as the prize for best entertainment show at the Comedy Awards. The spokeswoman said the watchdog would investigate the remark to see if it breached the ITC broadcast code. "We are not driven by the number of complaints and will investigate the joke," she said. The funeral of Maurice Gibb is due to take place in Miami in front of family and friends on Wednesday. Channel 4 was unavailable for comment. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2003 16:10:15 +0100 From: "Plaza Online" Subject: SV: Bad taste There are plenty of assholes around.
