Of course, they (Baz, Rob, and Mo) were on in 97, but we know what it was like trying to interview all three together. I think Oprah has grown as an interviewer since 97. Of course, it would be to her and the fans benefit to know her subject and his history. Thoughts? Kitt- Sent from My World= Back to top

Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2015 17:30:47 -0500 From: Doug Wilson <dewilson@sbcglobal.net> Subject: RE: Lazy lyrics /great lyrics I'd reverse that opinion myself. "Living eyes, when under the sun, don't cry" to me is a fairly creative way to express the same sentiment found in many pop songs. Notable examples: "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" and "Crying in the Rain". "Islands in the Stream" to me is a prime example of a Gibb song with a bunch of cliches thrown together with not much to tie them together. Different strokes...
