Goodbye to Robin Gibb.

3 days ago, we lost Donna Summer. And now, another disco star has fallen.

I hated disco, at the time, when it took over the airwaves, ousting the things I liked. But that was long ago, and it's sad to see the old stars die.

I kind of liked the Bee Gees pre-disco, back in the 60s. Here's Robin Gibb singing the lead on "Massachusetts":



When they wrote that song, they'd never been to Massachusetts. They just liked the word. I don't think they knew too much about America at all. Note that Gibb mispronounces "San Francisco."
