Saw Devo once - Freedom Of Choice tour - man were they LOUD ...but great . R.I.P. , Bob .

[I cannot think of a name]

“cause of death was heart failure.”

I guess in the end they were just men.

I’m glad I talked the wife into seeing them at St. Augustine last year.

Thanks for all the music Bob.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

They brightened up my high school years.

Glad the new drummer is from Tucson and talked the band into coming to town last year. Great show. And their most recent album is probably their best all around work. Something to be said for going out on a high note.

Leave it up to “Weird Al” Yankovic to out-Devo Devo, with a musical pastiche with so many elements of Devo that a lot of people thought it was done by Devo.

“Dare to be Stupid.”

In an interview, Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh stated in reaction to the song that: “I was in shock. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. He sort of re-sculpted that song into something else and, umm ... I hate him for it, basically.”

It is officially too late to whip it... whip it good.

RIP, Devo was wonderfully weird.

And every single night

before I go to bed

I get down on my knees and thank God

I’m a Secret Agent Man

When I think DEVO, I think of the movie Heavy Metal. Through Being Cool and Working in a Coal mine were the 2 songs I recall from the movie. Odd band but I liked them.

The only band that could get away with covering “Satisfaction.”

Devo came out while I was in freshman year at college.
Went to a party one night, smoked pot for the first time.
Saw Devo on Saturday Night Live, performing Jocko Homo:

Thought I’d lost my mind, but loved it.
Great band.

Interestingly, Mark Mothersbaugh had a post-Devo career in Children's TV, writing music for shows such as "RugRats" and "Yo Gabba Gabba". He also made regular appearances on the latter show...

Then:

Now (on "Yo Gabba Gabba"):

Its A Beautiful World

It's a beautiful world we live in,
A sweet romantic place,
Beautiful people everywhere,
The way they show they care
Makes me want to say,

[Skooz]

One of my all-time favorite musical performances:

Shows what an excellent band they were.
