...thumping bass of a disco make the club-hopper feel more like a soldier in the trenches at Chateau-Thierry in 1917 than a happy vacationer in Florida in the spring of 1978. After a while, the beer started to lose its tang, the rebel yells started to sound strained, and the blond, tanned 30-year-olds lounging at beachside bars started to look like desperate characters. The mirage was fading...
Park's logic was sound: "We all know that Sten has a future in baseball, and that future is either in the outfield, first or third. We're set at the corners, so he's playing left now.

Barry and Maurice moved to Miami, where the recording-studio conditions are ideal and the living is easy. Their experience in the Stigwood-produced Saturday Night Fever worked out well enough for the Bee Gees to enlist in another Stigwood enterprise, Sgt.
