12. Thanks for that video link----all I did was cry. The seventies was one

of the best periods of my life and I had all the BeeGee's LPs,now I have the CDs.

God !

[Faygo Kid]

15. Virgo here, too. And the 70s were amazing.

Backpacking in Europe, Michigan State University, bell bottoms, then gainfully employed - and platform shoes. What was I thinking?

Anyway, don't cry. You have much to enjoy, except my Tigers are likely to beat your Red Sox.

[virgogal]

19. Every team is likely to beat the Red Sox. Go Tigers !

I grew up listening to the Bee Gees, and still love their music. All of the brothers who have passed away, have died too young. My condolences to his family, his mother, and to Barry.

13. R.I.P.

So sorry to see yet another entertainer from my high school years go. Had hoped he was recovering after coming out of the coma.

Condolences to the Gibb family and may he rest in peace.
