Status Quo
This new article's sole quote is the title of "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades", their 1996 cover of Timbuk 3's 1986 Billboard #19 pop hit. Timbuk 3's founders are Barbara and Pat McDonald, the latter of whom is credited on All-Music Guide as author. Status Quo has apparently been around a long time, but if their only notable quote is from a song they didn't even write (and which was vastly better known in its original form), I don't see what's left to include in the article. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:18, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
