Last week I started to go a bit more in-depth about my relationship with the band Devo. One of the two tattoos I have is inspired by the band as is the name of this blog. Wednesday night the band was in town for their Hardcore Devo Tour. There were only 10 stops on this…
I have touched upon my relationship with the band Devo before, and I guess it is time to further explore this a bit more. My initial introduction to the band was a library copy of the 1981 LP New Traditionalists. Sure I had heard “Whip It” on the radio, but it wasn’t until the summer of…
Puberty can be a difficult subject to discuss. It is such a wide-ranging and encompassing change that just one conversation won’t cover it.
