How, terribly sad...

"In the event of something happening to me"

A not so well known fact is that disco was being played in clubs in New York City but it was the Bee Gees that came along with their gifted melodies and harmonization that brought it into the limelight. The music was pure dancing music and it brought it to an art form as displayed by "Saturday Night Fever". As quickly as it was accepted it was rejected but nevertheless the beat went on into the 80's. I believe the beat was partially to blame as it was the same 1 2 1 2 but other groups could not add to the mix the melodies the Bee Gees brought to it and thus it died.

As much as we all hate disco now, it was fresh and alive when "Stayin Alive" came out. Still one of my top 10 favorite songs.

Too bad he was unable to manage "Stayin Alive" longer.

While I have never been much of a BeeGees fan, it truly grieves me when people die so young. A blocked intestine? Sheesh! What a bummer!

Sounds like a bad medical error. Reminds me of Andy Warhol. Somebody must have been out on break when it happened.
