Devo was my gateway drug for exploring new music in 1979. The first time I saw them on Saturday Night Live, I thought they were part of some kind of alien invasion or maybe accomplices in another Andy Kaufman bit. Were they going to whip off their goggles and start reading The Great Gatsby? It was late at night of course and I was watching t.v alone in the dark on the lower level of our modern raised ranch style house on the edge of a Western Massachusetts cornfield. Their emotionless facial expressions and spastic dancing style caught me off guard before I embraced their quirky genius. A hop, skip and a jump later I bought a couple of Clash albums and embraced the modern world.
