I SPOKE TO A BEE GEE!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Sharop · 10-21-2006, 07:15 PM

It was on an Internet chat room, but still...

At about 8:50 p.m. this evening, Mr Barry Gibb came onto the chat room on his website! He answered two of my questions!

The first thing I said was say how shocking Steve Irwin's death was and asked him if he was familiar with his work. Mr Gibb said, and I quote, "I'm sure everyone will miss Steve Irwin" and added that he was the only contact with nature we had and that we wouldn't see him again for 100 years.

I also asked him what the Bee Gees' younger brother Andy was like when he was a little boy - Mr Gibb said "Andy was very outgoing and sweet and, like all of us, a little naive."

So, yes! I SPOKE TO A BEE GEE! I SPOKE TO A BEE GEE! I SPOKE TO A BEE GEE!

Wow... even in a chat room, it's always fun to talk to a celebrity.

It sure is! He seems to be very nice, and seems to have a good sense of humour.

He comes in there a fair few times, so I'm going to hang around there and hopefully I'll get the chance to ask him a few questions again! Right now, I'm thankful that he answered two of them!

That's terrific! You must have been thrilled. I love the Bee Gees. It's too bad they've suffered such tragedy.

Nighthawk76 · 10-21-2006, 08:38 PM

Wow, this is pretty darn cool, Michelle.

Barry is one of the greatest singer/songwriters in music history and to be able to talk with him would truly be an honor.

You should try to get to his chat room, sometime, Mike.

He's not there every week, but he has been there on numerous occasions, and the Administrator will sometimes announce a general "time" when he might be there. Apparently, he usually comes in around 3-4 p.m. EST time (he lives in Miami.)
