I heard that on t.v.....very disappointing. That surely was a coincidence. I emailed that pic. of Devo to my son and he wrote back and asked me “where in the world did you get ahold of that?” He was a very young kid when they were popular and he had 2 pair of those checked shoes...1 red and 1 black pair. I told him to send it to his friend in North Carolina because he still likes them. He really got a kick out of that!
That is one freaky coincidence.
