Devo lead guitarist dead at 61

I liked the art and maybe two of their songs.......There were a great many talented artist who are now in their seventies....however from 60-65 now...I guess we have Devo....pretty sad for a part of the generation who listened to the great music of the sixties and early seventies to really have no people in those four years which were as talented as those who came before and after.

I thought they were weird and those flower pot hats, just weird.

RIP tho Devo.

The name "Devo" comes "from their concept of 'de-evolution' - the idea that instead of continuing to evolve, mankind has actually begun to regress, as evidenced by the dysfunction and herd mentality of American society."[5] This idea was developed as a joke by Kent State University art students Gerald Casale and Bob Lewis as early as the late 1960s. Casale and Lewis created a number of satirical art pieces in a devolution vein. At this time, Casale had also performed with the local band 15-60-75 (The Numbers Band). They met Mark Mothersbaugh around 1970, who introduced them to the pamphlet "Jocko Homo Heavenbound",[6] which includes an illustration of a winged devil labeled "D-EVOLUTION" and would later inspire the song "Jocko Homo". However, the "joke" became serious, following the Kent State shootings of May 4, 1970. This event would be cited multiple times as the impetus for forming the band Devo
