@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!😂

[mrclose]

Yes, most certainly, the Bee Gees were a Disco Band!

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

[Cyber Liberty]

...and much more.

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!"

THIS! (been there, did that!)

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.

Something very profound to that remark, isn’t there?

[Bigun]

  I think the word "was" is what did it.

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

[Wingnut]

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.

For the dancers (former and current) on this thread, here's some Friday night fun.

What was the question again?

[AllThatJazzZ]

What was the question again?

The question was: are you going to do something fun on Friday night? And said, yep. I'm going to watch some dance videos. That way it'll keep my mind off the Astros game.

I can't remember why I walked from the living room to the kitchen these days.  And you want me to dance?   Are the Cubs on?

[roamer_1]

There's only one way to dance proper:

[roamer_1]

Depends (undergarments)... Were you wearing pants? Because that's the thing... A little later, riding around the yard on the garden tractor and it's like... "Oh yeah... Pants." Then you have to stop the dang tractor find somewhere to set down your beer, and go get pants.

Then there you are again, in the kitchen thinking "Why did I come in here again?"

Yeah... That never happens to me.

Mine is opening the refrigerator door and forget what you were going to get...

[AllThatJazzZ]

I'm so glad I don't have those geezer brain farts. Whew!

I lost my keys the other day.  Looked and looked all over the house.  My wife found them in the refrigerator next to the beer I bought.

[DCPatriot]

Forgot where I set my phone...had to email my son to call it.

[240B]

All the Hollywood Heroes which you grew up loving thinking they were Godlike, one of mine was Leonard Nimoy, watching them die off one by one is strange. When I was born I was in Germany with a father in the Army, went to preschool there. Eddie Arnold (make the world go away), and Johnny Horton (North to Alaska, Sinking of the Bismarck, The Battle of New Orleans) these are my very first nascent memories when I was just a larva.

Apparently the man from U.N.C.L.E. was a thing at the time. I only know this because father kept giving me Man from U.N.C.L.E. toys, even though I had no clue what it was or what it was about. I still have no idea what the show is about. I should prolly look it up.

That is all. That is me going as deep as I can go in to way-back machine.

I got a fancy smart watch for that. It can ask my phone to sound off. It's worked every time... But now I take the dang watch off and lose it instead.

Just heard yesterday on the Chris Plante radio show that Robert Culp portrayed a tennis pro and Bill Cosby was his trainer.   Who knew??

You could be speaking Greek for all I know. Did not understand anything about that sentence.

In the 1965 TV program "I SPY", the two main characters are played by Robert Culp and Bill Cosby.

   That was way before Bill was doping the pudding of his Female Guest.

That push/pull at 1:19 was pretty bad arse. Great dance. Lol, they would be pulling me off the floor if I tried that stunt now days... Lets just say my get off the ground level ain't what it used to be... I do like to dance, the wife, not so much.

@Sighlass

Yes, I loved that step. After so much exposure in recent years to various dance moves (thanks to DWTS), we don't often get to see new and unique ones. It's always fun to see a new and clever one -- event if we couldn't possibly execute it ourselves.
