I saw this on TV in 1977, and decided that this was how University would be.
Unfortunately, there weren't any cool people.
Just lounge lizards, creeps, convention junkies and sheep.
God.
What a disappointment.
If only I'd been an American.

So.DEVO was a lot of fun.
DEVO was a social commentary which reflected the views of a few, very few individuals about the state of the world;it was a different opinion from the prevailing Punk/New Wave 'movement', it was strictly individual and idiosynchratic.
It was also an entire Artistic Movement in its own right, accompanied by a continually changing and expanding Style, Substance and Imagery, which like all good art was contiguous and indistinguishable in component form, while being utterly distinct from any other Art.
I still remember watching the animated film 'Heavy Metal' in 1981, and immediately identifying the alien rock group(playing the then unreleased 'Through Being Cool') as DEVO.
I'm proud I 'got it'.
And I am very glad that the genius of their fun/work/message persists.
