How many do you have, Rapp? Seven hundred? I started a FB friendship with Peter Stampful of the Holy Modal Rounders and it has actually developed into mutual affinity of some sort, so I think of hium as a friend. On the other hand I also was friended by Jim KWeskin (who is playing at Fall River on the 16th instant) but have heard nothing more.

So it is a whole spectrum of realness. With you and me, senor, there is no question as to our friendship--no-one but a friend could stand the battering I have provided you over the years at Mom's place!! Oddly enough I think of all MOAB ites as good friends, even though most of them have never dined with me.
