(Write-in picks accepted -
you just gotta, y'know...
WRITE THEM IN!!! 
And plead their case, too! 
 *LOL*)

-------------------


* = I could have said "the what" 

right after the Who,
in derision of "Evolution" 

(both the theory as the group it inspired...) 
which was merely a bad name
quickly thought up just to 
avoid using "the 4 Horsemen" again!
But I didn't want to break momentum there...!
Oh - and although it was mostly a trio 
for the better remainder of its existence 
(and the one reunion they staged) 
"Evolution" used to be a foursome, yes... 
It was conceptualized as one, 
one that mimicked another 
which had itself been based upon 
the original Biblical one...! 
''Evolution'' then inspired 
(or competed with, really) 
those ''X-Treme Horsemen'' 
down south... 
And that awful Shield also...! 
And, then, it ran its course...
The fourth guy was just too randy 
for his own good,
that's all! ;)


Besides, all this gives us a chance 
to add on another rock band 
we could have included: 
Motorhead




** = now the Crickets are another story! 
These ''chirping Crickets'' 
rose to fame 
mostly when 3 of them 
hung out with Buddy Holly...
They evolved or de-evolved, too...
Not to be confused with 
the ''Bulgarian Beatles'' -
the other famous Crickets 
aka Shturtzite.




*** = now, ''No Doubt'' de-evolved 
and disintegrated into nothingness; 
leaving only Gwen Stefani 
and her pregnancies on tabloids...
Hardly the makings of 
an ''awesome foursome'' there!
We merely added them 
due to their uncanny similarities 
with Emily Haines' METRIC...! 










**** = during this ''legendary'' band's 
long and tumultuous lifespan, 
there was this brief moment in time 
(after Gabriel left - and before Hackett did!) 


...in which it really was a foursome! 
One could say that it died as one, too, 
as its own de-evolution saw it dwindle 
down to two founding members 
plus a new lead singer 
and a studio drummer of legend,
circa 1997...






The Bee Gees, 
finally,
are here because 
even though they were 3 
(and, earlier, 5...!) 
they were really four:
4 Brothers Gibb! 
(By the same token, 
we should have included 
the three musketeers then...! 
Oh well...
WE DID!)


well... we tried


Raquel and Faye are not 2 of the 4, though... 
Frank and Oliver round up that quatuor! 


IN FRENCH! 
AS IT SHOULD BE!
but not only:




And then there was 
the band from Portugal 
that sings about a town in 
Bosnia-Herzegovina... 

Hey - 
*a gente de Portugal* 
can and will always be 
*people of the world* 
- sorry if you cannot! 

Most importantly though,
let me mention here and now
(in the light of all that "evolu-talk")
that I am a creationist
created in the Image of God - yeah! 

I'll take evolution, sure:
but in the light of it 
being part of a Plan 
and all part of Creation! 
 ;)

May it influence your vote now! 
 *LOL*
