The joke is now always on us, Robin Gibb

I once knew a barman who would play me for free drinks at darts. When he had bled me dry, he would offer me the chance to get a free drink. What did I have to do? Dance to ‘Saturday Night Fever’. That is the best measure of the global influence of the Bee Gees. After all, this used to happen at a pub in Pune. Then there is the song ‘I Started a Joke’, made poignant by love – if I could only see, that the joke was on me. I dug the Bee Gees, man. RIP, Robin Gibb.
