It was because the school thought he was 'hyper' that he was put on Valium (Roche 5). It was because he was on that, that he was not supposed to drink alcohol, and therefore watched all his mates' behaviour getting more ridiculous while he stayed sober. To our North American readers, it is worth knowing that not 'drinking' was considered stranger behaviour in Britain than in parts of America. As regards 'Friends', Gary was most impressed with the treatment which Pop Will Eat Itself gave to this song, and it made him rethink the ways he could re-present the old tunes. 'Friends' therefore evolved as a sort of experiment, and was then reworked into a complete new song. Still smarting from not being able to go to either concert.
