I also wonder how pissed off The Rembrandts are with having to sing "I'll be there for you" all the sodding time.

Whatever happened to Peter Frampton..."Do you feel like I do"... on the "Comes Alive" album-such a huge album of hits in '76 or '77? Best damn Guitar player ever (ok, 1 of 5 best)

I think he's doing a US tour this year.
