1. That name is familiar. Who was she again?
She had some big Texas-sized hair!

6. Don't you have a mad desire to buy some VO5?
Or was that ad campaign only aired in Canada?

7. That could've been it.
I remember the name from a commercial, I believe.
V-05? She must've been a glamour icon!

2. I haven't heard that name in over a decade..
Is she still alive? Those commercials haunted me for years, which explains alot about me today, I'm afraid..:)

10. I'm listening to them an awful lot lately.
Edited on Thu May-05-05 12:34 AM by tuvor
Their song structures were amazing, especially the first two or three albums.

Was reading some Kent State anniversary stuff earlier today and came across this, if you'll allow me to indulge:

Interviewer: It's generally known that you were on hand at the Kent State Massacre. To what degree did you witness what occurred? How did that apply itself to the whole de-evolution concept?

Gerald (Casale, of Devo): I was literally in the middle of it. I knew Alison Krause and Jeffery Miller, two of the murdered students. We were all running from them as they shot tear gas at us for protesting Nixon's decision to bomb Cambodia. I saw the huge M-16 exit wound in Alison's back. I almost passed out. I was no longer a hippie as of that day. I would not have started the idea of DEVO unless this had happened. Because marshal law had been declared by the right wing republican Governor Rhodes one hour before the killings, the National Guard was exonerated. They got away with murder.

11. Yep...
I used to go to Kent alot when I was in bands in the early 80's; it'a a great college town. Everytime I go there I visit the memorial there and walk the grounds where it happened. Very, very sad...

And "Mongoloid" and "Gut Feeling" are my 2 favorite Devo songs; the beginning of "Gut Feeling" almost sounds like Dick Dale sitting in w/ The Byrds..

12. Yep, yep, yep.
A lot of surf-ish influence in their music. I take it you know of one of their recent alter-egos, The Wipeouters.

My favorites are the ones that barely hold together. Satisfaction, Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA, Red Eye Express. Gut Feeling, too, as I listen to it, just before 'Slap yer mammy down'.

Anyway, I ramble.
