Devo - Robert Hilburn interview (1981)

This interview was conducted by LA Times Pop Critic Robert Hilburn and was aired around Jan/Feb of 1981. I'm not sure which music show it was part of (Casey Casem's American Top 40?) but it featues Jerry Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh answering questions about the uproar that was caused by their latest song, "Whip It".

REVENGE OF THE NERDS!!! Devo was TOTALLY the inspiration for this great movie if you've never seen it though.

Stay away from the sequels like the plague though.

LOL. I grew up in L.A., and Robert Hilburn was the crappiest critic ever! Good to see him playing it straight.
