Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

It must be so, yesterday the telly was on VH-1 Classic and the Rembrandts' "I'll Be There for You" Friends-song video came on.
My sister who was visiting suddenly said: hey, Rickenbackers. And I'm like, realy???

I've seen this video quite a few times and always missed Ricks which were in plain site?

So, what else did I miss that I'll only notice by myself in a decade or so???

It has recently been discovered that the Earth is really flat.

Well Werner knew that from living in the Netherlands!

Considering your location, Werner, you'd probably known sooner if it had been Rembrandt, and not the Rembrandts.

As Scott said: dutchmen already knew that

Anecdote:

Rembrandt must still be alive. As a student I used to come by the house he was born in every day. It has a plaque stating "Rembrandt was born here". The building's from the early 1990s.

It's OK Werner. This came along during my rock'n'roll blackout period when I was busy playing other kinds of music. There are some good things I missed along the way. And this is one of them. I like the sound, and I like the song. And the video is cute, too.

I wouldn't even know from which year this song is... *wikipedia* '95? That's Monster era for me...

It's a song I neither love nor hate... I have a weird relationship with it - I really don't know if I should love or hate it... or both... at least it brings on an emotion as opposed to none at all

This much I know about the song; that it was the theme song for a US hit TV sitcom called "Friends." It was the show that made Jennifer Aniston a house hold name here. The show debuted in 1994.

A series I never got, as I never thought it was funny... I don't even have a tv anymore - nothing interesting on tv at all these days!

I'd like to know where wikipedia got that bit about offering the song to R.E.M. - They Might Be Giants Knowlede Base??? Is that a source one can trust 100%?

Let's not list all the uninteresting things on the telly

Anyone know if the Rembrandts always use Ricks? I couldn't find an answer on the net.

There probably isn't enough server space for that.

Indeed - luckely there's wikipedia - full of things you never knew you didn't want to know

The 360 looks like a knock-off.

Well, it doesn't have a Rick TRC to begin with, eh...
