I Surprise Myself

How would you feel if some soulless record company took the great songs of your favorite subversive rock band and repackaged it with a bunch of teeny boppers? You know, the band that opened your eyes to the possibility that there might be cool music that didn't really fit on the FM radio dial? That you were not alone in the weird jock-ruled world you lived in?

You'd be mad as hell. Mad I Say!

Probably. Maybe. Eh, who knows?

See, Disney Records has released a little something called Devo 2.0. By all accounts, I should *hate* it. But when I hear the songs, I think, hey, this is pretty catchy! And it turns out that the band was involved in the project.

So much for the hating. I think I will actually buy this for the kids. Actually.

You must be getting old. What happened to the DEVOted purist I once knew?
