You know, whether you are a Devo fan or not, you have to admit that their exaggerated concerns about food and genetics are oddly prescient. I mean, that was the mid-seventies. Now concerns about cloning, viral gene therapy and genetically engineered food are considered relevant.
"Their putting donkey heads on man bodies".......that reminds me of "Island of lost souls"! Gerry says that is where they got "Are we not men". I'm just wondering if this comment was gleaned from the same place?
"Oh Dad, we're ALL Devo!" Truer words were never spoken.
I have this on home video. I love Devo so much I could scream
When DEVO played Cleveland in "Peek a Boo" years, the General was in the audience! Many recognized him and saluted!
My hommage to General Boy . I miss his briefings Devo's inner Voice.
I've always wondered if Bob senior was a Kakfaesque manilupulator like Murry Wilson, always glad to tell his boys he was a genius, too.
General BOY lives!!!! Forever!

Over 30 years ago friend of mine told me that Gen.Boy is Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh's Father. How about it spuds? Fact or Fiction?
The Hogs Ear Report True fact, that.
@Alexander Tijerina (student) What'a cool Dad!
There was also a third Mothersbaugh brother who was their drummer in the early days
It's true, General Boy is Bob Sr. He is very supportive of them. Look around, there is an interview video available. He's great!
Duty now for the future!
