I remember Robin mentioning this and other plans that never came to
fruition. But he stated this awhile ago.

I agree, I want the whole "Kitt and Caboodle".

I'm not too sure any of them would want their dirty laundry aired. Barry
has been the most protective of Andy, but that same protectiveness has
never applied, or rarely applied to Robin. If Barry is to green light this
project he would have to be honest about ALL of his brothers, including
himself. With that in mind, I don't see this happening without it being a
fufu fantasy fairy tale account of their lives. But there is good news,
Andy can be an official Bee Gee!

Definitely not. Robin may very well have been more inclined to censor certain things from their past than Barry.

I'm not too sure about that. Although Robin has been known to change
events, as they all have, but Robin would put more out there. Barry has
been a tad more apprehensive regarding their "poverty level", and of course
Andy, while Robin tended to not sugar coat as much. But they've all
rewritten their history.
The point I'm making, since Barry is the only one left I would hope he
could be objective. Barry and Andy sporting tennis gear, Mo and Robin cut
off at the feet. Well it's funny to me.

Subject: Requiem
Requiem is the song directly before Joke. I did see RJ, Megan, and Maxi or
Maxwell...whatever his name is right inside the gate. Not sure if my
pictures are any better than what's online but I'll send when I get home.
