I still think Devo did it better but I listened to it this morning and it's only a partial snoozefest

My playlist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers greatest hits has an honorary spot reserved for "doing a poo in a pizza box and giving it to Andy Gill".

Seeing Devo is never a problem.

Also Go4 (with Jon King of course, not the shitty new config) was one of the best shows I've ever seen. You should reexamine, you whippersnapper. Try Solid Gold.

Even if one doesn't like Devo, I think it would at least be entertaining for them to watch nonetheless :idk:

I don't see how someone couldn't like Devo. But then again, the world is a dark place.

No idea what their new singer situation will be, but I'm sure it'll be entertaining (no pun intended) at the very least.

I saw em years ago at this fest in Brooklyn that was its very own total snoozefest—all these artists like the Pixies, Beck, Interpol kinda phoning it in—and Go4 just destroyed. Bunch of old dudes (esp Jon King) with about 100x more charisma than anyone else.

I just got tickets to that show too because Go4 rule and it's an opportunity to rant at D.o.S. about how Entertainment is the greatest all night.

Nothing makes rednecks start crying MAKE IT STOP than forcing Jacko Homo on them at top volume in a workplace. It. Is. A. Thing. Of. Beauty.

i was kind of wondering how you could see Devo when at least 40% of them are dead.

John Coltrane had lousy tone, especially on tenor where i can barely stand to listen.

the Clash are grotesquely over-rated.

psychedelic mushrooms are icky compared to LSD.
