* The friendship between [[RealMenEatMeat Rick]] and [[NewAgeRetroHippie Jon]] has many sweet moments! Notably, they did not get along particularly well during Rick's first stint in the band, being extraordinarily different people. But after Rick left, when he was hospitalized for drinking himself into a heart attack, Jon visited him to make sure he was okay, and that he wasn't in this position because he was upset about the situation with the band. It seems to have meant a lot to Rick. When he eventually rejoined the band, it was because of the song "Wonderous Stories", which Jon had mailed him a tape of. Around then, he and Jon had a conversation about the [[TalentedButTrained different ways]] they [[CloudCuckoolander approached music]], deciding that it was like they both wanted to take a flight from England to Tokyo - and you can get there in very different ways, and be extremely far away from each other on the globe while doing so, but as long as you're both trying to get to the same place, it's alright. According to Rick, they've hardly had a cross word since then.

* Trevor Horn vindicates his own history from the UK leg of the ''Drama'' tour by reuniting on stage to perform [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3OzKpnqLt0 "Tempus Fugit"]] in the Royal Albert Hall with Steve, Alan, and Geoff, with Billy Sherwood no less than nailing Chris' old parts as well. This show, like the others on tour, featured ''Drama'' run in order from "Machine Messiah" to "Tempus Fugit". The ovation given to Trevor and the whole band is proof that ''Drama'' has finally received the respect it deserved.[[note]] The fact that the ''Drama'' lineup was not well-received in the UK during the 1980 tour only makes this moment even more heartwarming and awesome.[[/note]]
