For Devo’s 40th anniversary album, Vice published a great article about them being the most misunderstood band of all time. Calling Devo a one-hit-wonder is a sign of ignorance shared with the majority of society. I probably would have thought the same before reading that article
Thanks for that article! I never really listened to Devo, going to rectify that.
Interesting fact: Gerald Casale went to Kent State in 1970. Devo’s “Devolution” philosophy was directly inspired by the Kent State shootings - opting for subversion instead of open protest.
My step-mom was in her room on campus. Said she didn’t know anything was going on.
I read this post to my autistic boyfriend and he just shared that he’s a total Devo nerd, so diagnosis checks out
The diagnosis came right after “Devo shirt” (amazing band)
‘Are we not men?’
