Foster The People 

The best band created, formed by the three sexiest men alive (in no particular order) Mark Foster, Mark Pontius (Ponci) and Cubbie Fink. Every time they play a song, a fan girl's ovaries explode. And that's okay. That's very okay. One day God wanted perfection, and BAM there was perfection. During live performances Isom Innis and Sean Cimino perform with them. Isom likes to bang the maracas in the most beautiful way.
"Foster The People made my ovaries explode during their live stream last night" "Oh, totally. I don't think I'll ever be the same after that Foster The People performance."

Foster the People

You ever heard of Foster the People?

No.

man of the people 

A person (man or woman, just adjust by case) who lives and breathes because they want nothing more than to help others. Nothing brings him or her greater joy than improving the life of someone else either emotionally, morally, economically or socially. And nothing angers them more than seeing them mistreated or suffering.
Making money may bring them satisfaction, but it is almost never be the driving factor.
Person 1: Jenna is weird.
Person 2: Why do you say that?
Person 1: She had a pretty successful company and a revenue of about 500.000 dollars each year, but instead of keeping it, she donated 90% of it to charity and then became a politician in order to repeal laws that make it harder for low-income citizens to work. It's nice, but it sounds like a lot of stress for people she has no connection to.
Person 2: That's because she is a woman of the people. God put her here to save the little people with no voice for themselves.
