| The shape the good God created for...? |

And God created better…
Few pre-Valentine thoughts
Monday, the 14th of February: the designated lovers’ day and celebration of relationship. Two types of species with creatively differing interests bury the hatchets of contention and share love, bonhomie, [sometime] presents… But, the day after is the remaining 364 days. Vive le difference!
Still, of late, having been in too close a propinquity of Beyoncé, Goldfrapp, Jamelia, Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys and Siouxsie Sioux, only one question has been on our minds and that is to do with women‘s superiority and how musicians view them or, to put it bluntly:
If, according to the Bible, God created man in his own likeness, why majority of men reckon women are so much better looking?
Rod Stewart (veteran singer with some serious first-hand experiences and footie fanatic): “Apart from the obvious, to distract us from the beautiful game!”
Chris Fehn (Slipknot's percussionist): “For one reason alone - because men need fleshes of inspiration!”
La muse fatale
Dan Weyandt (Zao vocalist): “To confuse a man, to keep him on his toes and in check by being such beautiful enigmas.”
Chris Murtagh (The Mutts' frontman): “To torture us all our lives, paying back for that original sin, I guess.”
Tim Bowness (No-Man): “And that is especially true in some other countries, such as Italy and France, they look better than most… I think it is to punish us, is the way I see it.”
Adam Gontier (Three Days Grace, vocal/guitar): “Considering the men wrote The Bible… I think, if it happened as the book claims, God must have asked Adam what he wanted, the man told him [snooker table?!] and he got it. I think it is all natural…”
Christian Olde Walbers (Fear Factory's guitarist): “That’s a very good question and I really don’t know the answer to it but the obvious one… All I can say is that I’m happy with the way it is and am glad to be a man.”
Dizzee Rascal (rhymist of repute): “Because men would be incomplete without the bitches and that’s why our relationship is so fragile.”
Revised vision
Robb Flynn (Machine Head's supremo): “If God created man in his own image… maybe, he realised he wasn’t good-looking after all. Maybe he realised, looking at the prototype, that he wasn’t good looking and decided to have another shot at it! The first experiment failed and he thought, ‘This one I’ll not make in my likeness!’” [bursting into laughter.]
Juana Molina: “That’s a strange question and I don’t understand it; women are the way they are for a purpose and I suppose more beautiful because of it.”
Natasha Bedingfield: “If they weren’t they’d be like the ‘Stepford Wives’ and that would be a huge turn-off, I think, in the long run. Men need women, men want women and usually don’t know how to get ‘em.”
Siouxsie Sioux (The Creatures): “The opening premise could be wrong because there is no proof what gender God was, or is. What if he was a woman, he than made the first being in her image, a perfect form and when he tried to streamline it, he made a huge cock-up.”
Second take
Marta (Bleeding Through’s keyboardist): “Hmm, it is true; when I look around I see more beautiful women than men… Maybe because men are generally physically stronger, so maybe they evolved a function more than their beauty. I think it’s just the roles that developed with the physicality of the species.”
Andy Bell (Erasure's vox): “That is a debatable statement but, assuming to be true in the past, it is not anymore so and there is no such thing as a gender. We are now turning into one gender and trans-genderism has become a normal thing. We’ll be able to choose our own sexuality, identity, the way we wanna look… It’s due to our immorality that makes us become mutant, our spirits will be on another plane. I feel our spirits are living and that’s the most important change occurring that will lead to the extinction of the human race. And, that is more important than what gender is prettier, sexier…”
The famous last...
Chrissie Hynde (feisty anti-junkfoodist/veggie-warrior and occasional front woman of The Pretenders): “To keep male minds on what’s important!”
Martin Cock (American Head Charge's howl-merchant): “I don’t really know about that but I know why they are called ‘women’ - Adam’s first cousin must have said, ‘Wow, man!’”
