he was fond of his drugs,his brothers admitted that andy had a big drug problem they also said that the best moment of there career was when andy joined them on stage, the bee gees are going to carry on without maurice, so markie will still have a chance to buy his first bee gee record.

I am sure I have saturday night fever back in the UK. I think it came in a job lot of records..... I dont think I have anything else though. Perhaps I have missed out?<P>Then again I dont like Neil Diamond either......

Its ironic that the guy who writes "hope I die before I get old," gets old and has this kind of fall from grace.  I really do feel bad for the guy, whatever his motivation.  Once upon a time he focused his creative energy in a way that exorcised his demons (assumably) and made him a hero.  It seems his energies (whatever's left) are now sadly misguided.  I don't understand the thought process of abhoring the subject matter, but paying money to support it.  I imagine he could have completed his "research" using free content.  Its sad to see someone win on so many levels, but ultimately look like a loser.  Is he a child molester?  I don't think so.  Is he a sorry old loser?  Well, it kind of looks that way.

Well now we know what he meant when he wrote "The Kids are Alright".

Actually, Neil Diamond has written some good songs. Perhaps that's why the 9:30 club is hosting a Neil Diamond tribute band Friday night, and not a Phil Collins tribute band.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Jaguär:<BR><B> Trust me Markie, you DON'T want to know anything about Up With People!       <P>They make Phil Collins, Neil Diamond, and all that other kind of schlock sound good.

But then again if you dont recognise the band at the time the joke is pretty forgetable.

In the case of the Neil Diamond tribute, the point is that 20somethings can go see the tribute band for $15, smoke and drink in a club, and not have to pay $75 to see the real guy in a huge smoke free amphitheater filled with horny 50something housewives.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by markie:<BR><B> I dont see the point of a tribute band, especially so when the tributed artist is still alive and performing his hits.<P>But then again, I always go to a show to see a rock star, not someone pretending to be a rock star.....</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>
