We're Still All Devo

I’m usually a big WNYC fan, but I have to say that the interviewer here, David Furst sitting in for Alison Stewart, kinda drops the ball in this sit-down with Mark and Jerry (above) from Devo on the eve of their long-awaited return to New York City tomorrow night at the Rooftop at Pier 17. One doesn’t get the impression that the interview did more than a cursory perusing over Devo’s full story. Mark sounds bored and Jerry sounds increasingly agitated with the direction of the conversation. Kind of a missed opportunity, really.

I’m, of course, going tomorrow night, and I’ll be accompanied by my son. This will not only be his first Devo show, but his first concert ever, which is fitting, as Devo was my first concert back in 1981.

I’ll let ya know how it goes.
