DEVO’s Gerald V. Casale First Interview 1970 BBC
This newly discovered film footage aired only once - 54 years ago, in Europe - and has never seen in the USA. But now it can be told! Jerry Casale explains:
I remember participating in this BBC interview in July of 1970. I tried in vain to find out what happened with it in the ensuing years, resigned to thinking it had disappeared off the face of the earth without a trace.
Yellow taped-off Kent State University be damned, we were permitted on campus so the BBC could conduct the interview at the location known as ‘The Commons,’ which was the opening scene of the crime on May 4th, 1970.
I was selected for this interview because I was a member of SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) and I in the midst of the action that fateful day, 2 months prior to BBC’s film shoot. Two of the 4 students killed that day, Jeffery Miller and Alison Krause, were my friends.
It’s almost amusing now to see myself at age 22; a boy trying to be brave and figure things out.
What’s not at all amusing is this interview gives evidence that the cultural warfare issues of Tyrannical Authoritarianism vs. Liberty and Democratic Rule of Law - which are front and center today - were in play over 50 yeas ago.
Some things never change. In fact, the stakes are much higher now given a world facing existential threats such as the collapse of the environment and the rise of AI. The good fight is eternal.

Chi-chi and devo? Who knew?
Why is Josh Freese so unhappy in these videos?
I found myself really hating the interviewer 😆. Is it anti-devolutionary to say this is an excellent piece of work?
Great story
No amnesty for the liberal fools.
When I was a kid, Chi Chi was my favorite golfer because he had such a love of life. I'm glad that he was also such a good person. He will be missed. This was a really fun story - and one I wasn't aware of. Hat tip to Devo!
This is the best thing I've ever seen
Yes! Chi Chi was a major inspiration to me as I learned the game of golf. And I immediately loved Devo upon hearing the first single, and subsequently seeing you guys all over M-TV. Thanks so much for sharing this story!
and will there be any New DEVO album ???
You need to ask Jerry , imagine what America would have been like if President John F Kennedy was never killed ???
I've owned this record since it came out (still have it), and I didn't know any of this. This is gold.
Fascinating! Thanks so much for this bit of DEVO history I never knew about!
Awesome vid. What a great story. Chi Chi is the man. What a sweet humble man😎
Chi Chi is a class act. RIP.
I’m a golfing Puerto Rican, DEVO fanatic. The stars have aligned.
Devo playing any presidential inauguration is total Devo or a petite morte….but at Trump’s… that would be the ultimate Devo death….the period at the end of the sentence at the end of the book. Interesting to listen to a calm Jerry/GVC that seems less interested in impressing or dominating and more focused on just laying down the history of the band. (I do wish he had gone into why the Art Deco light fixture was personally important to him….).
"I'm so lucky", "Me To" says Chi Chi..... what a wonderful, wonderful Man. RIP to an All Time Great Human.
beautiful
WoW ! I hope things like this are still happening
It's great to see Chi-Chi again after all these years, he made Sunday afternoons watching the PGA tour more enjoyable.
R.I.P. Juan "Chi Chi" Rodriguez. You not only represented what was best in golf, but you also represented what was best in men. We were most blessed indeed to have you within our world.
So good😅
❤
I never ever heard of Chi Chi until now. But his image is impaled in my brain over 40 years, even its not his image. What a curiosity.😄👍 RIP Chi Chi. 🕯️
Well done ! A golf and Devo fan. R.I.P. Chi Chi.
i truly loved this! so wonderful to see you again! incredible memories! just now seeing your channel, i am a fan!
"The beginning was the end" RIP Chi Chi 08/08/2024
RIP chi chi, he passed away today, August 8th. Long live the qna cover and long live Rodriguezs legacy
If only DEVO and THE CLASH had met and worked together. The future could have been so different.
Devolved Chi Chi mutant face actually makes more sense. Can't believe Gerry and Bob really not know what they were trying to do?
Gerald keeps his cool being interviewed by that devolved Jerry asshole. What a spudhead.
Hits different today. 7.14.24
Gerald, you continue to be an inspiration. Just wanted to tell you…
Devolution is real, always was true, and truer with every passing minute.
I sincerely wish i had paid more attention when these guys came around in late 70s early 80s. I purchased Freedom of Choice. I wish i had looked more closely. I feel the whole think of de evolution is so relevant now when i see my days dominated by my cell phone. Keep on keeping on Gerald/Gerry! You try not to kill each other, okay?
Great story about the sleeve….. We’re All DEVO

😂
It is naive to believe one person or band could change the world but I believe its influence will have a ripple effect, and help to balance the scales of duality. The world can, and will change because it has to. Nothing stays the same. But in what direction will change occur? I think this depends on the minds, and hearts of all people. This was a very interesting interview. Thank you Gerald, and Jerrry! <3
Amazing
I had that first Devo single in and album 79 and thought it was some 50s type advert bloke, never heard of chi chi.
Thanks for giving credit where due
2024 and De-evolution is alive and well just look around.
amazing story
awesome story i love that album devo is one of my favorite groups
Player haters in every generations whether it's sports or music. Very cool true life story, enjoyed it very much. In this generation of 2024 we need Devolution now more than 🇺🇸having to be born in 1967 and grew up in the 70's - 2024 we need Devolution. Chi-chi Rodriguez & Devo are both iconic of Americana. ❤🇺🇸
CHEE CHEE ROD REGWEEZ
Humm… I feel like I’ve had similar conversations in my own head. LOVE the creativity of this. Understanding deepens appreciation. Devo seems to be getting better all the time; or is it me?🤔
LOVE this story ❤.
