"Friendship is a sheltering tree." Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The war in Iraq and the war in this country (one a civil war, the other a war of incivility) have been discussed enough, for now. Time for a change.

McFly

Jeremiah was a bullfrog, he was good friend of mine.
I never understood a single word he said but I helped him drink
his whine. He always had some mighty fine wine. Sing it Joy to the
world...all the boys and girls now , joy to the fishies in the deep blue
sea and joy to you and me.
Jerimiah Was A Bullfrog Creedence Clearwater Revival

Two friends sing Girl From the North Country
Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash "She once was a true love of mine."




Collen Ann Fitzpatrick, better known as Vitamin C , (Graduation) Friends Forever. Do you notice a smackering of Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D?



And this is a very friendly version of Mr. Pachelbel's famous canon, played on the electric guitar by a young man whose name I know not. His link on YouTube is http://www.youtube.com/user/Felonaz




Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross
That's What Friends are For





James Taylor wrote and recorded You've Got a Friend in the 70s. McFly's music video of the song is quite unique and touching.



These guys apparently like each other. I suppose they're friends. They're cute I can tell you. What are they?

Snow is slippery

And then there was Chris Matthews talking to his good buddy, Tony Snow.

"So he (Bush) will seek congressional approval before any action against Iran?"

"You're talking about something we're not even discussing...."

"Yeah, you are Tony, cause look at this, (Quoting Bush) "I recently ordered the deployment of an additional carrier strike group to the region." Isn't that about Iran?"

"Yeah, it's about...uh, yeah, it is. In part. And what it is, is it's saying we're
gonna make sure when anybody tries to take aggressive action...but when Bill Clinton sent a carrier task force into the South China Sea after North Korea fired a missile over Japan that was not as a prelude to war against North Korea. You know how it works!"

Snow didn't say "pal!" but I thought he was. He did give the big smile and silently wink at Matthews. You know how it works!
