Ya know, I asked my wife the other night what she considered "New Wave". Her
answer was "big hair, bubble gum, The Bangles, loud clothes with many pastel
colors, Devo... I yelled WHAT?? Bite your tongue!!!!
You see Devo as New Wave too? Hmmmmmm. More of a punk lean to me, but I'm
now in the minority.
Interesting how I attach a general negative connotation to New Wave.
Don't believe what they may say.
We are *all* Devo.
Rest up for the shows Scott!
