Robin spoke well and appeared = quite genuine in his comments ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 05 Aug 2005 05:51:29 +0200 From: Juan Perea y Monsuwe Subject: Barry vs. Sir Paul September 1993, the Regent Hotel, London: the Bee Gees talked revealingly to a string of European journalists. Maurice: "Look at the Beatles, they are ageless. My daughter just bought the Beatles White Album and she was amazed. I wish that would happen with our records.(...) What a life! One day the Beatles were my idols and suddenly I was sitting with those demi-gods in a bar and learning how to get drunk. Unbelievable!" Later on, it was the turn of a journalist named Jonty Adderley. The following fragments were published in a magazine named RCD: "Both Maurice and Barry are proud of their status in the rock elite. The only person to have been more succesful than Barry at songwriting is Paul McCartney, coincidentally the one remaining star with whom he'd most like to work. 'People can grow tired of what they are. There's something to be said for not having a lot of money, there really is. For me, wealth is one of the worst things that ever happened to Paul McCartney. As an inspired artist I think he's not hungry and not motivated, and that needs to come back for him. Without getting into criticism of Paul, I think he's brilliant, but I think that the brilliance is below the surface and he should try to get it out somehow'. Maurice and Robin now begin to describe how much they would like to work with Paul with the zeal of missionaries." A couple of weeks later, Paul McCartney wrote a diary for 'Q'-magazine, in which he cuts up rough about the Bee Gees: "(Tuesday) (...) French guy [apparently JONTY ADDERLEY] was good, bit of a student of the catalogue. Said some nice things. He also said he'd recently done The Bee Gees and said they said my collaborators since John didn't confront me enough. Apparently The Bee Gees think no one can tell me what to do. Tough shit, Bee Gees. Who gives a fuck what the Bee Gees think? Told the French guy if people don't like me then ignore my records and don't come to my shows and don't do interviews with me -- go and write about the Bee Gees, who are very great and talented people (but they can still fuck off!). Funny that Barry Gibb's sitting in his Miami penthouse discussing whether I'm vertically challenged or not. Funny old world." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 05 Aug 2005 00:02:07 -0400 From: "Ronnie Olsson" Subject: Re: Guilty Pleasures cover art -----Original Message----- From: Michael Liu > I actually think that Babs is the one looking uncomfortable. They both > look like they are very embarrassed. Or "Guilty" perhaps...? I'm not completely sure this will be the picture used for the cover, probably a similar one but not this. We'll see. /Ronnie *********************************************************** How far is too far?

Oh, sure, the American version would be called "With the Guilty Fockers".
