Were any of the BeeGees ever involved in any sort of social activism?

Or even make a public statement regarding political affairs?

4. There's actually 3 of them
The first one had Al Franken, Cruz Bustamente and Ariana Huffington on it. The second one was the best - it had Ann Coulter, Nancy Pelosi and Bill Richardson

5. I've always thought of Barry Gibb as being incredibly conceited and self-centered.

Of course, in his private life, he could be entirely different. But that's the impression I've always had of him.

Which didn't stop me from buying mucho BeeGee singles and albums, and having a poster of them (late '60's--pre-disco days) on my wall.

9. I confess, I'm jealous!!!
Wow, aren't you way too young to have that.

I actually wrote an entire screenplay based on the song Marley Purt Drive.
