Goddamn- Devo was the best. And what a find- on Dave Letterman too!!! Two of my favorite things in Junior High--Devo and David Letterman. I actually remember being in 7th grade and staying up late to see this.
These guys were so aware of what a 'pop parody' they were and played it up- but the sad thing was, is that most people didn't get that they got this about themselves and took them as simple, kitcshy one hit wonders. They were/are actually super brilliant guys. Brothers, Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh (the originators of the group) are amazing engineers and coveted for many film scores and internet music projects presently. I've always considered them the 'Bill Gates' of pop music. Hmm....this might be a piece of the puzzle that explains my love for nerdy, smart geeky guys. :)
**And ps-- For anyone attending SXSW (ie 'South by Southwest'- a music extravaganza held annually in Texas) this year- Devo are playing. Good for them.
About Me
- *TRENNY*
- I'm Trenny and my philosophy is rather simple-I believe there are only 2 forces in this world, Love or Fear. My goal is to try to see things through the eyes of love, but I am fallible and do not always succeed. My professional career at the moment is that of a fashion stylist in New York,but my interests are varied. This blog is the like a blog ‘magazine/newspaper/journal', where I’ve combined all the elements of things that I love to learn through those mediums myself. Some life journaling, lots of music. A little health, natural product talk and recipe sharing. Random musings on life experiences, a little style, art and humour. Environment issues too as nature is our greatest gift. I hope it teaches you something, makes you laugh, or gets you interested in something different. If it fires you up,I welcome learning all different points of view. I hope that what I share, including my mistakes, encourages you. *In the end, I believe we are all each other's teachers, so whatever you might be inspired to say/share with me through this blog- good and bad- I fully welcome it. I learn just as much from you. Happiness and Love xoxo TrennyLynn - trennylynn@gmail.com
