If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

@sneakypete

Yes, they were.  As you said, they where not a "Disco Band."  They already had a number of hits well before Disco.

All my friends that I was a nerd because I was listening to the bee gees before they hit it big.
Songs like He ain't heavy, he's my brother and Just gotta get a message to you.
They were all into rock.
I was also into the Association, Gary Lewis and the playboys, Peppermint rainbow.🤣

I Knew the Bee Gees were going to be Big one day!

I guess I was a nerd but I got even!

All those friends became disco freaks and loved the Bee Gees later!😂

Everything you said was unintelligible to me... I kinda know BeeGees were a thing. but that's about as far as I could get...  :shrug:

Number 6 of that old fart's quiz made me laugh.

If you had a kid, would you make them work over the summer? And the choices of work were all reading and writing stuff.

Ha! A real old fart would tell the kid "get out in that field and start haying!"

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

My tasks were mostly maintaining our yard and the exterior paint on the house. When I was in the 6th grade my dad took me over to my grandpa's and told me to cut the huge limb off the mulberry tree that crossed into the neighbor's yard. He had rented a chainsaw for me to use. Once I cut it, I had to go over the chainlink fence and cut that limb into pieces small enough to lift over the fence and carry to the street. I whacked and bundled the small limbs using a handmade machete, like a Condor Makara, but made from a saw blade. That was until that blade glanced off a limb and the blade tip cut thru my thumb. My task was almost done, but went to a  neighbor to get a band ade, but she took me to the hospital for stitches. That doctor made me scrub all that tree sap off my hand before he stitched me up. That cut opened  a week later when the baseball coach at school said for me to bat. One swing is all it took. I think some of those stitches didn't even go from one side of the cut to the other side.

LOL!  I was referring to the band.  But it's true, the nation has slipped a ling way from when it was "good."  Was.

The BeeGees were great, because they had already made their oats in the 60's.

The other day I learned Warren Zevon wrote Werewolves of London about Barry Gibb.  Seems the BeeGee's were touring in England And warren saw them and thought who's this hairy gent with the perfect hair!

Other web sites offer a different explanation.

I can't say that I like Roy in my youth. But when I became older I recognized his talent and learned to appreciate and love his voice. With age comes wisdom. :laugh:
