	Status quo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Status quo is a Latin term meaning the present current, existing state of affairs.
		The concept of status quo comes from the diplomatic term status quo ante bellum, meaning "as it was before war," referring to the withdrawal of enemy troops and restoration of power to prewar leadership.
		Arguing to preserve the status quo is usually done in the context of opposing a large, often radical change.

	Status Quo (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Status Quo is a UK rock band founded by bassist Alan Lancaster and guitarist Francis Rossi in 1962.
		Status Quo has often been characterized, perhaps unfairly, as producing very simple songs, always in the same format: 4/4 rhythm, three chord structure.
		In September 2005 a contestant on the long-running BBC television quiz programme "Mastermind" chose Status Quo as his specialist subject.

	[FAQ] Status Quo (Rock Band) Information
		Quo were recording the album that was to become '1+9+8+2,' the title implying both the year it was released and that it was the band's 20th anniversary.
		Due to disagreements within the band, they decided in 1984 that their next tour would be their last one, and titled it, 'End of the Road.' Although they said that they would continue to record, it became the end of the road for Quo in their then current form.
		Quo are well known for leaving snippets of speech from the recording studio at the beginning and end of recordings.
