"We do answer, but nobody believes us." Devo in a nutshell..

A band that could see ahead into the future, and it did all come true.

Dick Clark is such a gentleman. He's kind, respectful and has just the right amount of praise and curiosity for artists. He was a one of a kind champion of the arts.

"I know what kind of interview I'm in for" (as he face palms). Gotta love it!

@mournblade1066 3 жыл бұрын

All in all, this was a decent interview. I'm a lifelong DEVO fan (since 1980), and I have absolutely no problem with this interview. Mr. Clark was respectful, and DEVO's answers were, well, typical and appropriate. Don't read too much into this, folks!

Dick Clark was usually pretty good with the weird bands. He was great with Sparks too. For someone who seems like a bit of a square, he dealt with the eccentrics well and with respect.

They’re all very handsome. I somehow couldn’t see that back in the 80s. Maybe because of the flower pots on their heads.

I know right. I was too busy staring at their Red Pots on their head. I loved their Red Pots. And I loved dancing to Whip It. I loved their unique style,during that time🙋🏾‍♀️

Jerry said during an interview that they are not flower pots. There are no drainage holes and they tip over too easily. They have been used as JELLO moulds and even as an autojohn.

It wasn't the best interview, but Dick did seem genuinely supportive of them. I think he got that they were doing something new, he just couldn't figure out what. You can tell when a host is being condescending and I didn't get that vibe here. Devo has made a great impression on my life and I wish more people could have been exposed to it.

I respect that they stuck to their persona. They weren’t the best fit for American Bandstand, but this was a time when there were a lot less outlets to present yourself nationally and get the word out. The only major network tv show I can imagine them being a good fit was Letterman, and I’m not sure he was even hosting in 1980. They really were lightyears ahead of their time.

@mournblade1066 3 жыл бұрын

They were on Letterman several times. Always a joy to watch the after-performance interview.

Yes I remember the grand ole days of great Television📺 Some of us had only a few Stations,however we could find something to watched that was entertaining on each Station. Fast forwarded to our time now in the 21st Century. So many Stations and their are hardly anything worth watching. Reality Television = worse in Television History🤦🏾‍♀️

There's and episode of Rig Rundown with Bob1 and Bob2 here on KZfaq filmed shortly before Bob2 died. When he was really talking into the mic he had a big deep booming voice. I do wonder what his vocals would've been like if put front and center.
