The Computer is Your Friend

Waller High School, the dog days of September. Late twentieth century. A load of freshmen enter the library for their library resources orientation. I am no musicologist but I can place their musical tastes roughly in the vein of: Puff Daddy / Snoop Doggy Dogg / Bone Thugs-n-Harmony with a sprinkling of Nirvana and Sevendust lovers. The librarian, a huge lady with a peg leg and the bewildered face of a newborn kitten, says, "Do you know the James Taylor song 'You've Got a Friend'?" The youngsters stare blankly. "Well, the computer is your friend." ***************************************************************************
