I'm ready to declare Trembling Eagle a character.
It is impossible for all of these elements to be within one real person.

I'm pretty sure he didn't say nothing about "strutting away our hours" ... but it sounds like something he would have said, don't it?
It's kind of like that Bob Dilbin song about Billy Shakespeare and Marilyn Monroe doing rails with 'nem Hooters ...

Obviously you never saw Robin Gibb's production of As You Like It. >:(

That Shakespeare was always Jive Talkin' .
P.S. I LOVE SANDWICHES!
I'm going to celebrate Columbus Day with an I-talian sangwich full of prosciutto and asiago and whatnot ...

(But, in concession to Bay Area PC-ness, it will be served on Native American flatbread).
Casu marzu literally means "rotten cheese" in Sardinian and is known colloquially as maggot cheese.

If so, how did the world end in this reality?
I hadn't considered the potential time travel aspect before, but I think you may be right...

It's likely they misunderstood the concept of "Saturday Night Fever" when they were hired to do the soundtrack and assumed it had to do with a mysterious illness that wiped out most of humanity in about a 12-hour period. The fever itself sent its victims into a blind rage before killing them, which explains the mass destruction. At this point in the narrative, it's probably the following Sunday morning and the Bee Gees haven't had time to change out of their club clothes yet, deciding instead to survey the damage and ponder their inexplicable good (?) fortune to have "stayed alive."

Maybe their shoes kept them alive during the apocalypse -
"Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
Im a dancin man and I just cant lose."
Maybe these heavenly disco shoes keep them in a perpetual dancing motion, which results in their staying alive .. ?
Political correctness would dictate that Columbus shouldn't be celebrated at all.
I'm assuming that Trembling Eagle is aware of this?

The wings of heaven line is definitely cryptic. But the more I think about it, "whether you're a mother or whether you're a brother, you're stayin' alive" lends more weight to my theory that there's some genetic reason why the Gibbs are still alive, and they may be seeking out other members of the extended Gibbs family who may have survived the Fall of Mankind due to their shared biological immunity.
Also, the "feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'" line may also offer some kind of clue as to the nature of the Global Extinction Event. Was there some kind of earthquake? Natural or man-made? Or does the everybody shakin' lead back to the perpetual dancing/shoes theory? Barry does, after all, refer several times to the way he uses his walk. Curious.
In the future, as in the past, the height of a man's pants denotes rank. Thus, Barry is the leader, followed at a great distance by Robin, who is in turn just slightly above Maurice.

I will use this thread to ask an important question: The Bee Gees' video for Stayin' Alive - set in a post-apocalyptic future or not?

I have a theory that involves Ted Leo and the Pharmacists just around the corner at the beach, near makeshift barbecue pits dug into the sand filled with burning surplus cardboard boxes, tearfully waiting for a rat to drift down into their waiting traps.
Bee Gees hit could save your life
US medics have found the Bee Gees' 1977 disco anthem, Stayin' Alive, provides an ideal beat to follow when performing CPR on a victim of a cardiac arrest.
