Frankly, I thought the Beatles were pretty awful when they first hit the airwaves.

I was never a big fan - I enjoyed a lot of their music, though. Anyway, I had to look them up on Wiki to see how old they would have been when that was filmed. I had no idea Robin and Maurice were twins. For some weird reason I thought Maurice was the oldest.

Beats anything from their Night Fever days anyway.

Is that Robin on the left? He is a bit, uhm... inbred-looking. It seemed a happier and more innocent time that they could make it on television anyway. I wouldn't see that happening today except for them to be held up for mockery and abuse.

I think he gave up and got them all capped. They're too perfect and white now.

Supposedly a Bee Gees biopic is in the works with Bradley Cooper as Barry. He's hairy and tan, but otherwise doesn't resemble him all that much. This guy would be better - Blake Jenner.

I enjoyed some of their songs in the 70's, like many people.

to Disco which disgusts me....

I think they had a couple of good songs early in their career mainly the song, To Love Somebody, which I think is beautiful.
