DEVO was like the punk band that non Punk America saw as Punk and so when people who were really into Punk rock would be walking around on the streets the jocks who learned about Punk through Devo would roll down their windows and yell at the Punks: 'HEY, DEVO!!'

I grew up in the early '70s in New England.

A lot of the lyrical ideas do have a lot of meaning in a way, although it is somewhat abstracted.

I certainly don't sit around in the morning making pancakes listening to Whitehouse or anything.

We're playing all these weird festivals, usually outdoors.

Anyone who grows up with parents who are very influential, there are cases where people run away from that if they have parents who are really lame.

Rock'n'roll saved my soul.
