I got three Woman's magazines here in NZ on the same day and each one had a different story of the events leading up to and after Maurice's death. I am sure that most of it is 20% truth and 80% in their imagination. I also read somewhere else that Michael Jackson had tried to get in to sit with Maurice, but the family had said No.....so there you go, another idea yet again.

"I Will Be There". There was a silent dream, we made a promise To be there for each other forever Better we go are separate ways Nothing there but the empty days Nothing to cry but your name I will be lonely for you Don't you despair I will be there for you These are the lines that keep running through my head (I hope I got the correct lyrics). I see it as emotions Barry and Robin could be expressing about Maurice, as well as to each other. Sal ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 00:26:45 EST From: SCompo1993@aol.com Subject: Barry and Robin's Relationship Since Maurice's death, the issue of a troubled relationship between Barry and Robin keeps being raised. Does anyone know if this is indeed the case? I know Barry has hinted at the arguing between he and Robin, with Mo as the peacemaker (see the Keppel road video). But how serious of an issue is it? Is the press basing this on the fued between Barry and Robin in the late 60's that led to the breakup? Or has the animosity between them continued throughout the years? Is anyone in a position to verify this? Let me know.

I still cry but I have a great and understanding family. So when I need to listen to help they are patient and let me have my time on the computer to let the emotions flow. I have had my favorite song to listen to during this whole ordeal and that is "Morning of My Life." This song seems to lift my spirits better than any other at least for the time being. Take Care!!

That was just a 30-second short clip on GMTV 7.30am news - the full interview should be on the "LK" segment of GMTV (UK) in around 50 minutes... But yes, that *is* what Robin said, Barry and Robin will continue making music, but they jointly seem to have decided *not* to continue making music under the "Bee Gees" banner... Understandable really. Obviously, they have had time to reflect since the BBC interview of last week where they originally vowed that the "bee Gees" would continue...

They will have to do it if they do release albums together, whatever the name be, so to all of us it will be more or less the same thing, name them Bee Gees or Brothers Gibb or Barry & Rob.

I felt comfortable in knowing "The Bee Gees" still existed. And indeed, they can, without calling themselves the Bee Gees, and even if strictly solo, continue in much the same way with or without the name, since many great songs were strictly Robin or Barry on vocals. And I love many songs from their solo stuff, too, includings Please, Toys, Saved by the Bell, Juliet, etc., for Robin. And for Barry, I love Stay Alone, Fine Line, Shine Shine, etc. I guess it's going to take some getting used to saying the Bee Gees "were" instead of "are".
