A very nice article about Robin Gibb

I found this article in Jose Guardia's blog.   It was Jenni Murray writing about Robin Gibb's life:

"I'm at a loss to know why, despite a number of us who've been through the dread diagnosis and subsequent treatment pointing out that such pugilistic terminology is entirely inappropriate, we continue to be given the impression that death from cancer is somehow an indication of failure to have the moral fibre to fight and defeat it."

Jenni Murray is right.

My uncle Jose died of cancer.  I've known others who've been stricken by cancer.  Their death is not a failure to fight.  On the contrary, cancer patients teach all of us a lesson in courage and dignity.

RIP Robin Gibb.  Your family should be very proud of the way that you handled the last few months of your life.

P.S. We remember "This is where I came in" one of Robin's lead vocals and the title song from The Bee Gees' last album:

I've seen the story I've read it over once or twice 

I said that you say A little bit of bad advice 

I've been in trouble Happened to me all my life 
I lie and you lie And who would get the sharpest knife 

You know I shouldn't be somebody like that 

Im not the kind of man to throw his hat into the ring and 

Go down without following through The day turns into night 

Go down without following through The day turns into night 

Ohh Ohh Ohh This is just where I came in 

Hope rides on But Ill go anywhere 

Yes, Ill go anywhere with you 

Time has gone But Ill go anywhere 

Yes, Ill go anywhere with you 
This is the danger zone This is where I came in 

They know not what they do Forgive them of their sins 

They know they cannot take away What you have given me 

Ohh Ohh Ohh This is just where I came in 

Fade into color Color into black and white Under the bedclothes 

Everything will be alright I know that you know 

Nothing ever stays the same Said so, I said so 

The love will never speak its name 

Never gonna find somebody like you 

Beauty with a brain and a body too 
I could never make a move on a woman that leads me on 

Shes got a little bit of something for everyone 
Its a little too late and the wolf is on the run 

Hope rides on But Ill go anywhere Yes, Ill go anywhere with you 

Time has gone But Ill go anywhere Yes, Ill go anywhere with you 

I always told myself I would regret this day That I would fall apart 

And watch you walk away That you would cry out loud 

And I would stand beside 

Ohh Ohh Ohh This is just where I came in 

I can fly But Ill go anywhere 

Yes, Ill go anywhere with you 

This is the danger zone This is where I came in 

They know not what they do 

Forgive them of their sins 

They know they cannot take away 

What you have given me 

Ohh Ohh Ohh This is just where I came in 

Ohh Ohh Ohh This is just where I came in 

Ohh Ohh Ohh This is just where I came in....."
