Jive talking, you’re telling me lies…

^ A line from the Bee Gees’ song “Jive Talking” which sums up this article.

Reader’s Write – Barry Gibb is cool guy, honestly. The Bee Gees are nice guys. Unfortunately, since Maurice died in 2003, the group no longer really exists.

It’s very funny, but can’t you get sued for writing fake stories about people?

Yes, I’m still holding out hopes for a Barry and Robin reunion…although I sometimes think it might just be wishful thinking. But you never know. I was really upset when Maurice died – it was just so sudden and he was only 53. Still, I’m sure he’s having fun playing paintball in the spirit world and hanging out with Andy (Andy Gibb was the Bee Gees’ younger brother.)

The Bee Gees are great. I love their music. I saw them in person when Maurice was with them. They put on a terrific show. I wish Barry and Robin would get back together again and perform in Ma. i also like the Beatles music.

Continued:

The Bee Gees are nice guys. I’ve read lots of reports of fans meeting them and they’re always up for a chat. Especially Maurice (RIP.) The Bee Gees have done a lot and I remember the very moment I fell in love with their music (a magical moment for me.) I have a lot of respect for them.

In response to the “money grabbing tossers” comment:

I admire Paul McCartney…I acknowledge that he’s supposed to be quite tight when it comes to money but I think he’s in general a nice guy.

And I have to defend Mr Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees. I am a huge Bee Gees fan (and they are so much more than just a disco group, for anyone who thinks they were only active in the late 1970s.) They were making music in the 1960s and continued to do so throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Their last album was released in 2001 – tragically, one of the Bee Gees, Maurice Gibb, died in January 2003.

If you had left out “Sir Paul”, you would have had me going for a while, but as soon as I saw his name in the title “say no to copyrights” I know it was a prank post. McCartney’s going to milk The Beatles for everything they are worth right up to the day he dies.

I enjoyed that.
I have been thinking about a fantasy world like this for a while now. So being already in that mode, I was swept into that story with a furry for a second! Ha.

So what do you think Canada would be like…
if everybody simultaneously threw Copyright (and all music tariffs, royalties etc.) right out the window?

What harm would it do / what good it would do?

You had me going until you included Orrin Hatch as a “rock star.”

Well, at least this kind of stuff is more creative than the tired old “pull my finger”!

Gotta love the part about YOKO (cough, spit!) encouraging “other superstars” to follow their lead.
LMFAO!
