While decluttering recently, I came upon my
Devo ticket stub (click to enlarge). Apparently, my mom let me see them on a school night.
Things became a little weird in the early
1980s and I loved it.
If something was quirky and made me laugh from its absurdity and wackiness, the better. Enter:
Devo. If you like to dance or want a giggle, these will make you, at least, bob your head:
•
Whip It
• Girl U Want
•
That's Good
•
Through Being Cool
•
Beautiful World
• (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
•
Peek-a-boo
•
Freedom of Choice
At the concert I bought a red
flowerpot hat. I also bought a concert t-shirt. The concert was during their strange,
plastic-shoulder,
potato-body phase. When the t-shirt became too small to wear, I gave it to a friend with the stipulation to give it back when she no longer wore it.
A very
Devo Christmas in
1982. The above photo is
THIS.
I still have the 3
Christmas gifts I'm holding in the
photo above. I used to enjoy wearing "loud" shirts and would often get flak for it – especially in the hallways at school. Gotta let your
freak flag fly.
Devo appeared on the
totally tubular Square Pegs tv
show.
