      Aaron Kerr Your simplistic opinion is noted. However, any informed analysis would conclude that DEVO were fantastic visual and conceptual artists, and they were excellent players and performers. The inability of listeners accustomed to mainstream genres of popular music to recognize their value merely affirms it.

      All thersongs are taking a swipe at Man's Herd mentality and provicked its fans back in the early days.
      DEVO Completely avoided the so called AOR top40 chart Bs, and only relented in 82 with whip it.
      ,No you like a nice little escapist type lyric, beside the point BS that does zero for your mind, ,, to boot, DEVO is the only band in rock history born after 2 members, ,both students at KENT state ,, you know, the college that gave us the First College murder spree on campus, by our own National Guard during a Anti Vietnam rally..
      5 students including a young 20 year old lady friend in attendance with the Bass player.Gerry CasaleI, (I know you have seen the picture of that youngun face down in a thick pool of blood from a head shot by the our very own NG.
      THE lyrics In all of their songs have deep meaning and are very informative.
