Well said. In fact it is how I run my whole life. I don't have a lot of friends because there are people I just don't want to bother with. I would rather have a couple of good friends whose company I enjoy rather than a bunch of people I don't really like.

There are a couple of people I could ask but I don't because I know we would not get along over the long haul.

And that is not to say that everything will be peachy keen even between the best of friends. It can be a but tense from time to time on tour. Mostly from fatigue. You might have your little spats from time to time but if at the end of the day you walk away friends you know you have a strong friendship.
