DEVO was a fucking great live band, and I agree with the assessment that Bob 1 is a criminally underrated guitarist.
BONUS! Here are Bobs 1 and 2 talking guitars back in 2012, including the La Baye 2×4. Sadly, Bob 2 passed in February of 2014.
Who The Fuck Is Paul McCartney?
Sir Paul spends a solid half-hour talking about some of his best songs.
What could be better than that?

More Nerd Shit
Check this out, an even bigger nerd than I is painting an entire series of Moebius Models based on characters from the Batman TV show. He’s done Catwoman, Penguin, The Riddler, and this one. When he’s finished the complete set, all the bases will fit together to form Batman’s symbol. Nerdgasm!
As always, enjoy or don’t.
YouTube shortcut keys are as follows: J rewinds 10 seconds, K pauses, and L fast-forwards 10 seconds. This guy’s a talker, so you’ll use that last one a lot.
The Predator
I’m fired up to see this big, dumb, loud B-movie this weekend.
Who’s in?
From the outer reaches of space to the backwoods of southern Georgia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black’s explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before. And only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and an evolutionary biology professor can prevent the end of the human race.

Watchoo Bastards A-Readin’?
I’m in the process of finishing up Vonnegut’s Slapstick, a book I picked up for $1.99 (Cheap!) on Amazon. I bought it five years ago but only recently got around to reading the damn thing. I like it, but I don’t love it. It’s the novel that gave us a quote you’ve probably seen here and there online: “Why don’t you take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut? Why don’t you take a flying fuck at the mooooooooooooon?” (I really should start working that line into conversation.)
Next up, I may circle back to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy or that Bowie bio I started a year ago.
