I don't think that = in your opinion the people that have your ideas are accurate and all the oth= er are not!!!!! There was a post of someone called Lagerg , i think , that t= o me was much more accurate than Maggie's!!!! Read that and then tell us!!!= !=0D With respect =0D K =0D =0D ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 May 2008 13:55:05 -0700 From: "Marty" Subject: Alan Freeman Days I think this is the song to put Robin back on the map. Any song about a = passed Disc Jockey is sure to get a lot of air play. Plus, its a great = song - the best since the last Bee Gees album, I'd have to say. I = reviewed it on Amazon.com USA - hope I did it justice.

I mean this opposition to the 'other' Brother because of the new singles. It really doesn't matter what the subject, there appears to be a backlash each time. This occurred while Maurice was alive too. What's happened to the happening events such as awards, acknowledgements or personal appearances? They are still taking place except it's not necessarily being reported here. I'm pointing out the obvious when i say that this is not the way forward in supporting the two remaining brothers. No one objects to constructive and helpful criticism but to just be negative all the time ain't gonna make the brothers go for a joint effort. They are very aware of what the List and other sites have to say. I myself hesitate to say too much on this List as i know someone will always shout me down. Shame on us that it's become the fashion. No offence intended to you personally Sal. > I don't buy that. Robin has been criticized on the list. In fact, I > wouldn't > be surprised if the criticism has been more frequent than any criticism > directed towards Barry. This all started because some members (myself > included) > had a lukewarm response to Barry's latest song.... > Sal ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 May 2008 15:18:51 -0700 From: "Marty" Subject: similiar Somehow the slower parts of "Alan Freeman Days" remind me of "Heart Like = Mine" in that they seem to be in the same vocal range, even if the two = songs are at completely different tempos.

Like "Mother of Love", this song has a heart and soul to it that immediately pushes it ahead of formula pop music. He's telling us how he feels about something. It's _real_. It's not how do I get a hit song or grind out another track, it's how do I say this thing that matters to me! This is a "must have" for Gibb fans.

Excellent, thank you Joe for pointing out the verse and my brother Maurice is stayin' alive"! Didn't hear it the first time. DB In a message dated 5/18/2008 7:10:26 P.M.
