This is easily the first time I've seen either Bob 1 or Bob 2 talk in an interview. It's good to hear them speak especially Bob 2 here. They need to tell us their views of Devolution too.
Bob2 seems to have filled in for Jerry, but no one can truly fill Jerry's shoes in a taped interview.
Although the early hippies caught wind of what was really going on, they didn't have the ability to distribute their message. That is where Devo came in--to spread the word.
Mutants like "Conservativefloozie" are precisely the reason Devo felt the need to deliver their news!

These guys claimed they had some sort of big "new" idea but they are just another bunch of Anti Republican hippie assholes. They LIKE government, big BIG liberal government. They are nothing but a bunch of hypocritical, negative, elitist, egocentric snobs who, like most of the other assholes in entertainment, think their shit doesn't stink. "wear gaudy colors or avoid display" "be like your ancestors or be different, it doesn't matter" what a bunch of bullshit and a bunch of SOCIALISTS jerks.
they never seriously claimed to have a big 'new' idea. there is nothing 'socialist' about devo and their music is the polar opposite of hippy. devo's entire image is openly manufactured so i don't see how they can be hypocritical or snobby either.
but don't let facts get in the way of your apparently unceasing quest to ascribe political ideals you don't like to everything else you don't like as a sort of broken insult.
@bobzilla211 I know your comment is really old and I kind of missed the boat, but I gotta agree with you. I think all Devo was trying to say was: "Hey, open your eyes, it's not all great" They weren't about tearing down all the walls, they were about empowering people to do that themselves.
Yeah, these guys never claimed 2 have a "new idea." The hippies-around B4 DEVO became a name-loosely had the idea already. And say whatever u want to say about it, the idea was & still is true, 2 varying degrees. But the way in which they presented this message (via costumes, prominent use of synths, strange time changes in their music, videos, robotic movements, etc.) were new. They are pioneers in many ways. But they never took themeselves 2 seriously. Tongues were in cheek much of the time.
@conservativefloozie and like a typical repukelican - you just don't get it. if you weren't able to regurgitate all the crap you get from douchebags like Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc. you wouldn't have a fucking thing to say. what a sad little shit you are

I have been a Devo Fan since 1979 and i will buy the upcoming CD, but i am getting TIRED of the continual "Whinning" by these guys about the way "society" is. It's not perfect but deal with it... always Negative!! I keep hoping 1 day these guys will say something POSITIVE with their Music. And i guess it's to ask, for them to actually DO SOMETHING to change it???
Actually, "Whip It" is supposed to have a "pick yourself up by your bootstraps" message to it. They never made it clear whether this viewpoint was ironic or not.
Wow, nice.

Bob Casale: guitar/keyboards

Bob Mothersbaugh: guitar
Josh Freese: drums
Weird that Jerry Casale isn't there. He's always been the spokeman and pretty much the leader of the band.
