With the demise of the show and the seeming absence of the all the "old timers" who used to populate this newsgroup, I'm dropping reading it. In the event any folks from back then are still about, this song from a fellow I'm pleased to count as a friend applies (hear it on the album <Giant for a Day> by Gentle Giant):

Friends -- written by John Weathers

FRIENDS Where would I be without friends, to take good care of me, My friends, What would I do I would be alone On my own.

   Enemies, some say, add spice to your life
   But I've always hated to be so disliked
   I can't see why in this short span of time
   Anyone does without friends.

FRIENDS Will always help when you're feeling down, On the ground, Your friends Will put a shoulder to the wheel I feel

   Enemies, some say, add spice to your life
   But I've always hated to be so disliked
   I can't see why in this short span of time
   Anyone does without friends.

FRIENDS This is a song to thank you all For being good friends, You only number just a few, But you are my good friends.
