I tried to find a band they map onto, but all I could think of was
Talking Heads, but that would mean that Chris Frantz was The Thing,
David Byrne Mr Fantastic and Tina Weymouth Sue Storm, and so The Thing
would be married to Sue Storm, and that would be against
nature. Although undoubtedly there will have been an issue of What If?
from the seventies with precisely this scenario.
