I noticed that Barry and Mike leave quickly nowadays. Terry sometimes exits early with them also. I guess they just got bored with the fan stuff. Rick has always been very friendly, and of course is basicly Gordons #1 man and body guard. As for Gordon, he has lost lots of weight since the illness and was on a long diet even before that happened. Back in the 80s there was a time he was quite large, 'El Rotund' as he refered to himself. When he quit drinking, he lost the weight and has kept it off ever since. I sometimes wonder if he was a bit heavier, like 30 pounds or so, if it would make his voice more powerful and resonant, and maybe with more breath control.
