I have the same reaction when I read "70's disco band" - a drop in the bucket!!! These guys happened to write several disco songs, is the way I look at it. They wrote hundreds of great songs. I also think he was right when he says that Barry does most of the vocals (and seems to be the lead BeeGee), but he needs Robin and Maurice just as much as they needed him. mouse Mario Tarradell of The Dallas Morning News had a short piece in today's (Sunday) edition . . . the gist of which falls right in line with the sentiments expressed by some in this forum: __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I think a fair question is "What would you have done if it had been the President of the United States"? Then follow it up with "Well the President wasn't here, so you should have given all those resourses to Maurice". If it get's him removed as a doctor, that will be all the good it will do now, unfortunately. Either way, we all have to re-arrange the connections in our brains to be happy again without Maurice.

Irvin Willis of the Mount Sinai Medical Centre in Miami, Florida, is accused of "gross, wilful, wanton and reckless or callous indifference" in his treatment of Aracelis Rodriguez Alba, who died in October 1997. Alba developed an abdominal abscess during surgery to remove a tumour from her pancreas, according to a lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court. The lawsuit claims her subsequent death from a bacterial infection was preventable and says Willis failed to intervene in a "timely and proper" manner. Dr Willis, a respected surgeon who has been practising for more than 30 years, strongly denies the allegations. Details of the case emerged as Gibb's family said they were investigating whether a decision by doctors not to operate immediately on the 53-year-old star when he was admitted to Mount Sinai cost him his life. They fear there may have been a delay in treating Gibb, during which time his condition deteriorated as a result of an intestinal blockage that could have caused a heart attack by flooding his bloodstream with poisons. James Eckhart, Dr Willis's lawyer, insisted medical staff had kept Gibb's family informed of his treatment. "It's tragic what happened," he said. "Mr Gibb's wife was fully aware of everything that happened and was thoroughly advised and approved everything." In a tribute to the late musician, members of Gibb's family are planning to travel to Britain to collect his CBE from the Queen. All three Bee Gees were named on the 2002 new year honours list but have not picked up their awards. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 2:47 AM Subject: Re: look at this > I couldn't access this link or find any articles you guys might be referring > to ... can you please reprint it, or paraphrase, or give another link?

It has been so hard to get a lot of the guys music over here and a lot of us more avid fans have had to import from overseas. Especially CD's like Size, High Civ etc. Until the "Still Waters" came into being and it was known the brothers were coming here to tour in 1999, their music availability off the shelf was very sparse. There are many fans here that have never been able to acquire some of the less advertised CD's at all. I am going to Sounds tomorrow to see how many they have "ordered in" that fans have been unable to get over the years. I do believe they are just jumping on the bandwagon to get publicity.

I lived thru that era as a crazed kid fan , but I don't recall that article, so it was a special treat for me! I had a ton of those old mags, but all were lost when I moved to Indiana from NYC. :-( Gosh, it all seems like yesterday, & at the same time a million years ago.... Every day that passes (as I age, & as I see those of my generation pass....) brings more awareness to me of how important it is to cherish every moment, a concept that unfortunately, & so sadly, most of us just can't grasp when we are very young - it just goes w/the territory - we just don't have the perspective yet. (I just discovered that I may have something seriously wrong regarding my health - may be nothing, may be everything - just have to wait & see - would appreciate any positive energy sent this way from any of you folks - I truly believe that sort of thing may work - I've seen some strong evidence of it. And in return, I send positive energy to all here who may be going thru stressful times themselves, & to all who are, of course, so deeply saddened by the loss we are all sharing in.) Sorry for diverging - hadn't planned to - hope no one minds - but it's been a heavy day.
