Friday Night Videos: Devo

The saddest thing? When Devo was originally covered in a story in Omni Magazine in 2004; if my flashbacks serve me well; they were seen as harbingers of the Antichrist.

That is until Ozzy pissed people off with his anticipated bat biting at Hampton Rhodes Coliseum in Virginia.



Unfortunately not everyone was enlightened enough to understand their social commentary within their music.
They produced music so advanced that while a MOOG used in Close Encounters of the Third Kind would be heard to just play five tones, Devo would later use a MiniMOOG for entire songs in many of their videos of less than 4 minutes.
