Also, could you let me know how Joan is pronounced in Spain? Is the "J" pronounced like the English "H" and is there a word that it rhymes with? The English version of the woman's name sounds like MOAN and the J is like in the word jet-plane.

The Stayin' Alive video is always a fun one - the strutting down the street and the way Robin and Maurice "pop" out the windows on either side of Barry. I saw the One For All concert again the other night - just love the smile and mischievious look in Maurice's eyes before he grabs the camera. Definitely the good old days.....

On Friday, they auctioned off a framed Bee Gees piece consisting of the "Main Course" album signed by all 3 brothers, a photo of the boys and a couple of first day covers of stamps - the auction lasted an hour and the final bid was $6,700!! (For Mark - Russell from Ripleys in Surfers Paradise was the winner) Unfortunately, my husband banned me from phoning in and I know my budget wouldn't stretch that far, but I was so proud that so many people were interested in the boys and the item went for so much. The only thing that REALLY bugged me listening to the radio announcers (and the female one profuses to being a big fan) was that they constantly referred to Maurice as "Mor-reece" - it was getting on my nerves by the end. Just thought I'd share that with you =?) Janel - I, too, love the Stayin Alive clip, but not as much as the "He's A Liar" clip - speaking of Maurice being the funny one, this video is a scream and cracks me up every time - especially when he gets out of the police car and when they drive off, does the "exit stage left" run - the man should have been a comedian!! Karen - having too many MMM lately First week of August 78 It wasn't that bad. At least it was the Bee Gees! Genine ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2003 12:54:37 +0000 From: "Janel Clayton" Subject: Wasn't It 25 Years Ago Today ..... .... or maybe 25 years ago yesterday .... that SP told the band to play ( now mind you, I know how the song really goes ... ) That SP was released? OK, OK, so it may not have been the best movie of all time ( or even one of the top ten best movies ... OK OK ... even that is a stretch ). But doesn't that also take you back to when the Bee Gees were in their prime. Never mind how Robin looked with that long luxurious hair ... we'll try to keep this PG like the movie. Maybe that's why they played Stayin Alive last night ... that was filmed on a back lot of SP. The house they are near, isn't that the one where Peter tries committing suicide off of?

Turns out it's 100 miles north of here off the coast of Savannah I saw on the local newscast. Wha ~~Marie~~ Debbie Howell wrote: Faye -- Paging Oliver Stone!! I agree with you, Faye, about the extraordinary effort people expend trying to get close to the Gibbs when they could put that energy to something useful. As I was watching the Ben & Jen interview the other night -- YES, I ADMIT IT! SO SUE ME! -- it popped into my head to wonder if Barry and Robin have even more loonytoons traffic on their street when Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are in residence right there between their houses. They don't get much hotter than Affleck and Lopez these days, so just imagine how many crazy people must try to follow them around! Debbie ROFLMAO...thanks for the laugh! I've heard many "nutcase" tales over the years from people who worked or still work for the Gibbs. (I'm sure it's the same with any entertainer/well known person and certainly one of the least desirable aspects of celebrity.) Many were pretty dang funny, and some so Machiavellian they were beyond belief. Pretty sad, though, when you think about the wasted time and energy expended.

Lest someone accuse me of calling the kettle black , you could say that I've expended a fair amount of energy toward that myself, along with other list members, several of whom I've known for many years. What I was *really* talking about are the people who are more than a little over the edge, who make up all kinds of stories and seem to thrive on creating bad feelings and alienating other fans--you know the type. It's hard to understand that kind of neurotic behavior. And I'm sure you're right that there's more sightseeing traffic in their neighborhood with Jen and Ben in residence, though I have no idea how often that happens.
