Gerald Casale spells his nickname as "Gerry", not "Jerry", even though it's pronounced "Jerry", much in the same way that "Boojie" in "Boojie Boy" is pronounced as "Boogie". And furthermore, Mark Mothersbaugh had as much to do with the project as Gerry, remember, he's been scoring cartoons on the Disney Channel for quite some time.
Hey, it's Devo. Total nerdiness. What do ya expect?
I must admit that the juxtaposition of this post with the graphic on your previous post is, uhm, suitably ironic. Probably Mark and Gerry are laughing big-time over the gag they're pulling on Disney -- they certainly didn't do it for the money, since they're both rolling in the dough from their scoring work.
I guess you're right about the spelling, Badtux. Gerry Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh were students of my dad in the Art Department at Kent State. Gerry wore an all white suit ten years before John Travolta, showing all those psychadelic hippies just how far ahead of his time he was. My mother says (don't believe her) that he has illegitimate children all over Kent, Ohio. I don't believe it, but there's more plausability there than at most of what comes out of Scotty McClellan's mouth, anyhow.
Devo was right. As a parent I was very glad that my kids fully picked up on the dvolutionary message, especially with the well crafted biography on the DVD. BETTER THAN SUNDAY SCHOOL.

ReplyDeleteThat's completely wrong, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIsn't it?
(Makes note to ring Disney later and offer half-assed pitch for own music)
I'm crestfallen.
ReplyDeleteIt's never straight up and down!
