John Cage has a piece that has one beat in 4'14."I could be wrong... b0b?

Navajo, at the larger and more powerful of their dances on their home ground, e.g. San Ildefonso, beat drums with a measured cadence, but no downbeat.
The phrasing is marked by the dancers. So the number of beats would be somewhere between 1 and infinity.
The question would then be, after that, does the beat go on?

It depends on who's playing them.

If it's James Brown singing, he only needs one.

Except each election time, when candidates who were defeated in past elections and who you had forgotten about years ago turn up again from nowhere.

Cross your legs and hike,
and PRAY you don't take the wrong fork!

...or, if you can't cross your legs any more, and you're COMPLETELY out of fuel, there's always a forlorn hope.

...but it will probably come to NOTHING.
