More from Devo

  1. People accuse us of trying to be glamorous! We don't wear these because we like them. We have to! They're protective gear.
  2. (On performing) We do this because we have to. Do we look like we're having fun?
  3. Like the Bible, devolution is basically an extended joke. One man's doughnut is another man's death.
  4. We do give straight answers, but nobody believes them.
  5. Besides, God isn't dead / He's in your head / Right where he ought to be.
  6. We were taking our inspiration from the high and the low; the biggest ideas, and the dumbest ideas.
  7. You only punch yourself out when you start swinging blind.
  8. Being in a band is really great when you're 20. When you're 30, it's kind of 'Spinal Tap,' and when you're 40, it's just pathetic.
