Pop Rock Factory - July 2009

Coming Out of the Closet

July 2nd 2009 09:06
Coming Out
At first it was denial.

Then I felt ashamed.

How, after all these years could I tell the friends that I grew up with the news!

After all you could tell 'by the way that I walk and the way that I talk' that I'd been hiding behind a facade - but now it was time to come out!


I'm a Bee Gees fan.

My gosh - that feels better. What a release . . .

Stayin Alilve, Night Fever, More Than A Woman, Tradegy, How Deep Is Your Love even Spicks and Specs or for the more hardcore of us who simply want to hear their harmonies - the Frankie Valli "Grease" or Yvonne Elliman "If I Can't Have You" or Samantha Sang's "Emotion".

The mere thought Barry's falsetto accompanying Travlota's opening scene in Saturday Night Fever is enough to get any Bee Gee's fan blood flowing quicker than you can say Tony Monaro.

So Whether you're a brother
Or whether you're a mother . . .
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk

I guess it's just emotions taking me over . . . .

Bravo, at last you've came out from the closest (Gosh, it might take you a lot of courage to do it...)

By the way, would you give me five here, as I'm a Bee Gees fan as well!

Well I am not a Bee Gees fan. I refuse to admit it. The fact that I was dancing away in my seat while watching that video clip means absolutely nothing.

Repeat after me . . .

"Hi, my name is Wilson Pon, and I'm a Bee Gees fan."

It's the first step when you go to BGA - Bee Gee Anonymous.

I used to put it down to uncomfortable trousers as well - but finally had to admit it to myself - it was the Night Fever.

Shhhh - your secret's safe with me Samaritan - dance to your heart's content - after all I'm sure you're More Than A Woman

Yep - I guess other than their mother's and moi - they probably did sell a few.

Now if only I could find that other person

Hi, My name is Natalina, and I'm a Bee Gees fan.

I even threw in a little Andy GIbb, just to show how serious I am about those Gibb boys!

So deep in fact, that it's almost a "Tragedy"

Is Why
OMG, MNG, I love this site.

The Bee Gee's rule(d), and as Natalina set the tone; "Hiya, my name is Nevar and I was a closet fan, but I finally have the courage to out myself and admit to my thing for the Bee Gee's music."

My gosh, it feel's so good to get that confession off my chest.

I've never told anyone else this but ... I've always been a big fan of 'You Win Again', from the late '80s, their non-Saturday Night Fever days.

You've taken the first step my friend - now that you're Spirits Having Flown - consider it a release from the prison you've resided.

Life is no longer a Tragedy

Hey, MNG!!!

Ahhh the 70's where it all began...when we had 45's,record albums and 8 track tapes.I LOVE Bee Gee's music! Sad the members that passed away,but the music will never die as long as the fans live on.
I just read a report on CNN's site,yesterday,by Senior Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen, titled "Disco tune saves man's life".
It's about Debra Bader who saved her Hubby's life by performing CPR to the beat of "Stayin' Alive". Great story...good to keep in mind if you're ever called on to do CPR. The American Heart Association apparently used the song in a PSA, showing how to perform CPR, and she remembered it. I will try to copy paste the link here, but I've never done that before so my apologies in advance if it doesn't work.
Really Long Link

I am familiar with the Bee Gees' music, but this post makes me feel young and out of touch. I could never name their songs, although I've heard a bunch. Ha, ha. I am now more educated about the Bee Gees!
