The celebration was threefold: Linda and Barry's 35th wedding anniversary, Barry's birthday and Barry's son Ashley's birthday. In between bowling, the group of about 50 munched on burgers and hors d'oeuvres and sipped sour apple martinis (while some of the adult kids downed lemon drop shots). There were three separate cakes – one for each occasion – each differently decorated. The anniversary cake was two-tiered with lifelike pink roses. Barry's birthday cake, also two-tiered, had music notes and silver streamers all over it and Ashley's cake had a basketball and music theme. The party went until 10 p.m., but some of the younger Gibbs extended the stay until midnight. Of course, the whole family belted out what sources are saying was the loudest version of "Happy Birthday" to date at Lucky Strike. The tables were filled with gifts for the extravaganza and clearly the family left happy, because sources say they left a very generous tip."

It hasn't charted in the Top 40 at all! The reason being Woolworths (the main force behind singles sales in the UK) have refused to stock it, not to mention a few other major stores. The reason being is that the record company have screwed up. They promised a free G4 sticker to everyone who bought a copy and it turns out that only a fraction of the copies pressed have included one. So, the chart compilers have also disqualified this release for inclusion in the charts. There was a midweek prediction before this mistake was known and it was at no. 6! This is a great shame, as it could've been the Bee Gees 49th top 10 hit in the UK." (Posted by James and Kelly Reed) |
