We knew it was coming, but that doesn't make it any easier. Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees has passed away at the age of 62. People make fun of the Bee Gees, including me on occasion, but they were stellar musicians with amazing harmonies, and if there are two better angsty songs than "I Started A Joke" and "I've Got To Get A Message To You" I don't know 'em.

I loved the early Bee Gees, and hated it when they went disco. Over the years, my opinion (at least of their best disco hits) has mellowed considerably; talent stands the test of time.
How lonely for Barry Gibb, to be the last one left. Even Andy, who was never part of the group but had a respectable solo career, preceded him.
