DEVO to the Rescue!
From the Smart Patrol:
COVID! SHE’S 19 AND SHE’S REALLY MEAN. DELIVERS PAIN. REMAINS UNSEEN. And as far as the doctors tell us she’s here for the foreseeable future. So, we can bet masks will be mandated for certain social interactions as the lockdown loosens and people venture out. With Covid 19 stalking us its easy to forget that this is 2020 and the 40th anniversary of Devo’s Freedom of Choice. What more cogent way to use that freedom of choice than to choose which of these two classic devo graphics you want printed on your 3-ply, cotton, washeable Devo Coronavirus mask? Wait! Unlike most choices we are given you can choose to have both mask designs! You win either way as we try to stay safe and avoid mean Covid 19’s invisible spray!

Frack that makes me feel old.
DEVO was my first rock concert I ever went to in the summer of 1979 @ the Orpheum in Boston. They were touring their second album. They had no opening act. They opened up with something called “videos”. I also saw them the next year @ their Freedom of Choice tour, red flower pots & all.
They were playing at a bar in Phoenix in 1978 and my dad, knowing that I loved them, called to see if he could take me in to see them. They said “nope”. I saw them in 1981 on the New Traditionalist tour and they started the show inside of shells very much like Spinal Tap here- https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/02/28/article-2569316-1BEB429100000578-997_634x415.jpg
