is disco also dead?

"The clock indicates the moment, but what does eternity indicate?" ~Walt Whitman
Supposedly, Donna Summer was the queen of disco. Who told me that? A cursory glance at the search results for "disco dies", with the court jester (?) of disco, Robin Gibb, now dead what does this mean for the "kingdom of disco" on the whole? I would suspect that it's finally died. It's not like I don't enjoy a good disco jam from time to time and it's not like I don't get up out of my chair every once in a while when I hear "Stayin' Alive" on the old radio. I'm just too cool, is all.

Robin Gibb was apparently married to some type of witch or enchantress that used (did?) "spider medicine" to cure the Bee Gee's ailment, whatever the hell that means. There's a beautiful metaphor not doing much to describe what this witchcraft really is, located here. I was also able to find some hogwash including veiled hints and innuendos about getting high over here on this "SpiderWoman's" website. Yet, still, no clear indications as to what "medicine" may have been used on someone treated by "spider medicine". As far as I can tell it'd be hope, duct tape, and drugs. That's not the worst way to head out so thumbs up back at you, Mr. Gibb. Also, the other images I could find weren't as good, unless you like magically coiffed hair.
