I can't think of anyone outside of Zappa who would articulate a vision for musical art in such a comprehensive and compelling way. And I think DEVO's presentation of its art and its confronting of the mainstream machine was even more subversive than Zappa's. Maybe an arbitrary connection but I'm really glad we got to experience and hear from both.

10:46 interview randomly stops so Jerry can light a cigar. Part of his "act" or...?

Should be titled differently, like “A Conversation with Gerald Casale”.

Watching this interview in July 2024. Gerald is/was 50 years ahead of his time.

The questions get really stupid towards the end.

Wow. The most articulate I have seen anyone be. I can’t get enough of interviews with this group and Gerald Casales.

Man I love him

Great band.

DEVO appears to be the only band that is REAL. That matters. That mankind should think about. Look around: De- Evolution is REAL!!!!!!

America has always been a fascist country. Where do you think the Nazis learned it from?

Thanks

He never says "um" or "ya know" even once.

People thought Devo were crazy in the 70s and 80s when they predicted de-evolution. Just look around you, it actually happened. The world after 9/11 became a shitty devolved world

Wow. Great perspectives. Imagine brilliant extraterrestrials observing this world from afar. In the galactic picosecond of Devo’s rise and fall, the momentarility turn their attention to one of their pets humping a table leg. They then go back to viewing things happening that are more destructive and less creative. The next higher order of aliens observing them would appreciate the irony.

You guys were my 80’s. I was asleep but somehow internally aware that something wasn’t right on Earth. Devolution-I get it! We’re witnessing this right now. Thank you 🙏

If you have a problem, you must whip it. It could be Ben Franklin saying that. True today true yesterday true tomorrow. Do not try to evolve 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼de evolve…

Unfortunately, man has become un evolved instead of de evolved. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

This group will never Die. DEVO keep rocking.

Un F'ing believable!!! You are the man Gerry!

As a fellow cigar smoker, i approve of this interview

Now ask him about Jihad Jerry. What a dork. He was creative until then - then - he fell into TDS and became a dork of bore. Yawn.

Diamond Dogs had a undercurrent of social and political messages. Bowie tried to get the rights to George Orwell’s 1984 to do a stage show musical. Big Brother was part of the project. I often think of Donald Trump with that song because he refers to “a glass asylum” and hints of fascism and blind leader worship. Since Devo was conceived as social and political commentary, this makes sense. “freedom from choice, is what you want” is the underlying message of Freedom of Choice.

I wonder if Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The MC5, The Stooges and Devo really changed our perception of popular culture and rock music.

love or hate DEVO is a litmus test

These guys were totally on to something of substance. If you had half a head on your shoulders, you saw it coming, but they had the courage to truly explore the disturbing truth in a way that could possibly help us deal with it. Artificial Intelligence is going to force us all to reconsider what it means to be human. 57:30 Looking back will no longer be an option when machines can do it better than people can. Once we get over the shock of all this, considering Devo's message may help us move forward. (What's with the pretentious cigar?)

I've always loved DEVO and a metal head. Love their music whenever I need something cerebral

❤🔥🌌❣

Love what he says about Jimi Hendrix ….

Ahh butchers outfits like the Beatles banned album cover for yesterday and today ….this dudes a genius

Im sooo fuckin inspired by these guys, ima def shout em one day

A total boss

Devo should`ve been huge...........they were way ahead of their time...........they`ve inspired a Million Musicians..........and they`ll never get old............❤

Im through bein' cool...

I love that he repeatedly mentions David Bowie as an influence. In my opinion he couldn't have found a better mentor. Mr. Cassale is a very interesting man. I was the only one of my friends who bought Devo albums. All my friends were into AC/DC and Zep. I listened to it alone in my room. Couldnt get anyone into them at parties. I didn't care. I love Devo. It was perfect for my hs band kid sensibilities. It was just so different. The other band i was really into was the Tubes. Another band i couldnt get my friends to listen to. I love what he said about performing at CBGBs...he's so right about their performing at that punk club. It was just too intelectually and painterly different for the punk bands and the mass media to get.

Eno,is an Artistic SoniC SoundScape Engineer!The Creative BesT!Nuff Said,nah!

Nuthin CraZy,bout MinDfuLLNess on Another LeVeL!Of The Abstract,NorM!That DeVo,just wants ta Share!Thanks!

I like DEVO more now that I vidded this. 📺📼

" hope i die before i get a i 'd." da da da da da dada. ultra devolution is here,and you'll never know the difference. america should be grateful gerald and mark didn't decide they'd make an A bomb in their basement.

This is the best hour ive seen in a long time

Once again, life imitates art. DEVO were years ahead of their time, and have proven that Devolution is a very real thing. We may be pinheads all, but the lads of DEVO were/are geniuses all, and I thank them for that.

Gerald and Mark are great men and turned protests and expression into an artform.... Their canvas is silence their Brushes are sound.....

Dad, Pass the Ketchup?

Pink Floyd then Bowie then Devo

GG Allin? Hafler Trio?

31:15 Take that back, Gerald! Beavis and Butt-head are satirical and are very much in the style of DEVO! Plus they liked the Whip It video!

Who is the soundtrack composer he mentions before Enrico M. that sounds something like inaroda?

this man is a truth teller and warrior

The man is so intelligent, I can't imagine having my fellow friends and students murdered by the National Guard

Had absolutely no idea the group began as a form of protest rock. Advocating for students at Kent State that were wrongly oppressed and suppressed free speech during the Vietnam 🇻🇳 War.

The closest I would compare would be Kraftwerk in the techiness and robotic movement
