Summary
watch the video! listen to the podcast! Akron, Ohio. 1973. Before new wave. Before punk rock. Two Kent State graduates, Gerald Casale and Bob Lewis found their destinies when they met up with a keyboardist from a band called Flossy Bobbitt. His name? Mark Mothersbaugh. Together they formed something entirely different. Releasing their mongoloid creation upon an unsuspecting wiggly world with spudniks designed to whip it at every turn.

If you're older like me, you probably remember this weird, punky, electronic band going as far back as their appearances on the original Saturday Night Live in the 70's back when it was funny. If you're a bit younger, you might be familiar with their 80's hit WHIP IT. Well... not only is DEVO still a creative force today, but they have quite the storied past that goes back farther than you might think!... MUCH FARTHER! It's the late 60's and two Kent State University art students named Gerald Casale and Bob Lewis make an art project together reflecting the theory that mankind is not only NOT evolving, but actually DE-EVOLVING! Both of them were budding modern artists and also musicians. Casale was performing with a band called The Numbers Band. Around 1970, this band began fraternizing with another local band known as Flossy Bobbitt which featured a crazy but talented keyboardist; a one Mr. Mark Mothersbaugh. The musicians began jamming around with each other and creating a more cutting-edge feel than what was around at that time during the height of hippie culture. They also discovered that they shared a love for satire. One day, Mark Mothersbaugh was sharing a pamphlet to the other musicians called "Jocko Homo Heavenbound" which featured the character of a winged devil named D-EVOLUTION. This pamphlet would later inspire the classic song "Jocko Homo" as well as the band name but we're not quite there just yet. Then May 4th,
