But, given all of the songs they have written, it's not that many. When they have written songs like that it's not a hard hitting political song with a direct message, but a song that tries to relay a social statement with Barry's abstract lyrics. I think So, Brian did have a point, even if it was phrased in an overstated way. Sal P.S. Andrew,I never heard the final mix of High civ.

It cited their spokesman as the source. Good news! Cheers!

When they have written songs like that it's not a hard hitting political song with a direct message, but a song that tries to relay a social statement with Barry's abstract lyrics. I think Barry actually said something along these lines once. Ultimately, though, those kind of songs have never really been their forte. They've written songs about prostitution and drugs too - not many - but they have done it!! > P.S. Andrew,I never heard the final mix of High civ. How is it different?

MJ has certainly provided enough info for the general public to form an opinion of him, and if that opinion is a negative one at this point, I thin Just for the record and to show I'm not piling on the guy, I lean to the belief that he's innocent of the current charges.

I know this list has over 1000 people on it, but there surely must be loads of people out there who buy Bee Gees records who haven't a clue that Barry and Michael even know each other - or maybe not?

I'm all for loyalty, too. But, if a friend got too wierd or conducted himself in a very suspect and inappropriate manner, would it be disloyal to disassociate yourself from him?
