The last line as he goes for the girl. "Oh that Alan" was a classic.

Devo is still playing out. I believe they were in Las Vegas last month. Sorry to read this though.

Recall seeing these guys on SNL when they hit the scene in '78 I believe. Pretty weird even for the '70's, but their rendition of 'Satisfaction' was smokin'.

Their robotic antics in satisfaction was a real attention getter but whip it was awesome. Oh the early 80's and that fledgling mtv.

Devo was a frame of reference for many years...back on the Indian River with pennies, Styrofoam cooler lids, and way too much time. WE ARE DEVO!
