I used to work with my best friend about twenty years ago, but I no longer do. He's still my best friend - there are no rules to friendship as far as I'm aware. Tony and Peter were best friends from a very early age, and despite a lot of arguing during the early Genesis days (who didn't Tony argue with, though?) and a somewhat upsetting split from the band, they remain friends to this day, as both have attested to. I'm not sure why people want to think otherwise, but to each their own. I don't know if Mike is really that close to anyone other than Tony and Phil, harder to tell since he is interviewed far less often and mumbles in that Prince Charles way of his anyway.
As for "Please Don't Touch", the interesting thing is that Phil saw Steve after the album was released and commented that he and Andy (his first wife) really liked it, and that "it didn't sound like that when we rehearsed it..."
