'not dangerous enough'
I love how he had that answer in milliseconds

Devo was so far ahead of everyone and not just musically but philosophically…we are truly devolving right now but will remain hopeful.

[snipehunter]

“Our fans collect a lot of negative energy that was meant for us” ❤❤❤

[SaxonRanger]

These men were true modern day artistic philosophers, something today’s popular culture/music is missing. Whether the majority are able to realize it or not. From a “fellow victim” of Akron 😁

[mistergone]

My favorite band! Intelligent, disturbing, unrestrained, prescient, fun, and thought-provoking all in one.

[blueabattoir]

DEVO will stand the test of time. I have been to the future and they are still relevant 734 years from now.

Out of the several hundred concerts I have attended in my life, Devo at First Avenue in Minneapolis still holds a steady spot in the top 5 all time shows for me.

Mark is pure. Wrote so many iconic songs, but also theme songs. Pee Wee’s Playhouse, Rugrats…..love DEVO

[coreydooley]

It's nuts to look at the quote unquote "weird guy in the glasses" and see years later he would make some of the most amazing theme songs and movie scores ever

[bumperroan]

That was hilarious. They really had a great sense of humor and playfulness about their persona that I didn't realize from their performances that they would have had. Plus they were truly innovative in their ideas about incorporating video.

[jeffdawson]

They never thought of themselves as punk, but in spirit they were definitely punk.

[ivanf]

The DEVO aesthetic and philosophy won’t ever grow old. It’ll stay relevant for generations.

[justinvigil]

I never got to see DEVO live. They are so amazing.

[lesvampyres]

One of the most important and influential bands of all time. J'adore Devo. 🖤

[prototoy]

I saw them in Cleveland on this tour and it was GREAT! The spud t shirt is in the back of my drawer to this day. Forever DEVO

[oceanadrianne]

I’ve loved these guys since the early 80’s when I first saw them live. Just saw them last night at YouTube where they once again put on an impressive show. RIP Alan and Bob 2.

[TripleDeano]

Two legends on DL. These boys took New Wave and a purpose and set it to music. Fan and Listener for over 45 years!

"So, if you put an Energy Dome in the oven, you'll come over and stomp it?" Classic David Letterman snark! We're all DEVO!

[Reitz]

Way over Dave’s head, Devo broke the mold, still relevant ❤

"Do it to yourself, before others can demean you: the Devo aesthetic." Individual predictive programming for hard care De-evolution. The kind we easily see outside our windows everyday.
