Devo's Bob Casale dead of heart failure, brother says
R.I.P. Bob 2
 Los Angeles (CNN) -- Devo guitarist Bob Casale died Monday, his brother and band mate announced Tuesday. Casale was 61. He was known by fans as "Bob 2" since he played alongside guitarist Bob Mothersbaugh, the brother of Devo co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh. "As an original member of Devo, Bob Casale was there in the trenches with me from the beginning," his brother Gerald Casale said in a Facebook posting. "He was my level-headed brother, a solid performer and talented audio engineer, always giving more than he got." The new-wave band began after Gerald Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh met as art students at Kent State University. The group wrote its first music in May 1970 -- the same month National Guard troops fired on antiwar protesters on the Kent State campus, killing four students. Devo actively toured in recent years, including a televised performance playing at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada. "He was excited about the possibility of Mark Mothersbaugh allowing Devo to play shows again," Gerald Casale wrote in his brother's death announcement. "His sudden death from conditions that led to heart failure came as a total shock to us all." Rest of story here: Devo's Bob Casale dead of heart failure, brother says - CNN.com

Q: Are we not men?
61 is too young.

Sad. they were fun. I saw them, must have been about 1979 or 1980 in a big concert hall on East 14th street. I still remember it well.

One of my first concerts ever here in Houston at the Sam Houston Coliseum. That is a legendary show because of the fire marshall tried stopping it and clearing out the venue because of overcrowding. Devo came back on stage an played a song. The house lights came up and they cut power to the stage. Crowd went nuts, thankfully no riot and they made Mark Mothersbaugh spend the night in jail. Concerts after that had a lot to live up to.
RIP Bob, the devolution has begun.

Like the B-52's, Devo is a great band to crank up the volume with.

After this link came up and I've listened to several albums.........
I have recently found that watching porn with the "Are We not Men" music blasting in the background, is quite hypnotic.
