I'll admit that I've never really "listened" to the Bee Gees. I've heard their songs (hell, I'd be impossible not to), but I've never really gone out of my way. However, I can still appreciate his talent, and agree that we have lost a legend.

On a barely related note, what the hell is going on with all the celebrities lately, especially musicians?! I mean, just think about the sheer amount of people we've lost; Whitney Houston, Dick Clark, MCA (of The Beastie Boys), Donna Summer, and now Robin Gibb? And those are just the people that have died since February! It really is starting to get just a little bit scary here.
