This news saddens me greatly.

He was a superb drummer-- which I think sometimes got lost in Devo's studio recordings. I saw them live and the drums immediately jumped out at me. They had such a power -- they knocked me on my tail and created an energy that was lost a bit on the LPs (especially with songs from the bands icy second album... it was a whole different animal done live).

Ah, that sucks. I loved Q&A and their other early stuff. Never saw them live, but I have a stack of their bootleg tapes I traded for a few copies of MST3K episodes back in the day - which are freaking awesome, by the way. One of the cool things a guy could pick up back in the days of MST tape trading.

Think I'm gonna have to throw on some Uncontrollable Urge tonight.

Rest well, sir.

Well anyway, hi there, folks. You know, I'd been having trouble with velvet leaf, uh, cutworm and, uh, foxtail and, well, that's when the representative from Monsanto came out to my farm. He recommended a pre-emergent, inferral mixture of Lorsban with Atrazine in a tank mix and I told him to get off my land. - Farmer Joel
