I wonder how he feels about the current single? In the NY Times article he said he was devastated that Robin re-did "Wish You Were Here".

Personally, I agree with those who say the brothers have their own ways of coping with the loss of Maurice. That being said, it wouldn't be fair to either brother to speculate how Barry feels about Robin and Alistair's remake of "My Lover's Prayer," until someone actually asks him and reports back to us. I heard he liked it, and I will certainly volunteer to ask him if someone will arrange a meeting. Kathy _________________________________________________________________ Tired of slow downloads?

I would, however, like to address the point you made, or allegation might be more accurate of a term, that there are people (presumably members of this list) who earn money off the group. Is that so? Perhaps I'm oblivious to this, but it's something I'm not aware of. If it's true, however, I think it would raise some questions about some of the people on this list's credibilty, to be completely frank. Here's an idea! All of you on this list who have made money off the Bee Gees in the last 3 years should disclose that fact and how it was made. The amount of money may be too personal, so I guess you can keep that to yourself. Such disclosure would possibly enlighten the rest of us with respect to some members avid promotion of the brothers, regardless of the importance or quality of the project.

Of course, trying to make money off the Bee Gees these days would be like trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip, so God bless 'em... Debbie Thanks for the support Debbie.
