Interviewy goodness

This is a great interview with Mark Mothersbaugh, the guy from Devo who is now a composer for movies and television.

We went at it for a really long time until one of the DJ's - the local radio station was hosting the party, which was in an empty auditorium - grabbed the mic and made an impassioned plea. "These guys should be stopped!" he said. "This isn't music! These guys are making fun of music." And there were a lot of people in the audience who agreed with him. They felt what we were doing was dangerous. So all of a sudden, drunk mummies were shaking their fists at us. Draculas were shouting obscenities at us. That made us even happier, and pissed them off even more. It turned into a bit of fisticuffs. It was a mess. But it made us feel we had to be doing something right to get so many people pissed off.
