Back in the late 70s early 80's the world was on fire and a weird thing happened, a rebellion of sorts, from the right and the left and definitely from the ground up.

Devo Space Junk
A long time ago, SNL was funny and edgy. Halloween 1981: FEAR as the musical guest: https://youtu.be/Frud5RFtTi0
Stiv was a serious jerk (all part of the persona)
Here he is with another local boy

1st time Isaw Stiv he jacked the stage of some friends, just sashayed on stage and jerked the mike away from the singer.
The entire band was confused but as he sang they just rolled with it.
My grand dad pulled the same stunt at the idora park ballroom back in the 40s or something, but he lied and told them he was the lead singer.
He was trying to woo gramma.
It worked
A great band.
I was so lucky to live in So Cal at that time.
