None of us were given the rules but most of us figured out the important ones along the way You don't tug on superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger And you don't mess around with Jim or drink his Kool-Aid either You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away And know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table there were more rules too but I never learned them and none of my friends did either.

Kenny Rogers once sang a beautiful duet with Dolly Parton-- Islands in the Stream . When singing wasn't going so well, he started selling friend chicken. OK, maybe it was only shake 'n' bake! At any rate, if it reminds you of the Hemingway novel, or takes you away to the Caribbean, it has worked its magic, and, after all, that's what music and friend chicken are for!
