There seems to be some connection between Devo and the Church of the
Subgenius.

What's the deal?

They started up around the same time as Devo.
They share similar sensibilities.
Devo was friendly with them.
A Subgenius member worked on the "Love Without Anger" video (hence the
picture of Bob Dobbs in the video).
Mark Mothersbaugh is a member.

That "subgenius memeber" is no other then Ivan Stang!

Sacrid scribe of the Church of the Subgenius!

The man who took dictation from the very mouth of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs
himself!

They man who will take your $30 and mail you ordainment to you.

The man who also dircted the "Are U Experienced" Video.

He has just posted a revview of teh DeVotional this weekend.

And NO! "Bob" was not based upon Chi Chi Rodreguiz on the First Warner
DEVO LP!

May Pope Perro have mercy upon you!

Are you serious, the guy on the cover is Chi Chi Rodreguiz? Or, just
someone who looks like him.
I guess it makes sense, the golf ball and all. I thought maybe he was the
mongoloid fromt he song/

It was originally Chi Chi, but someone at Warners was a huge golfing
fan and didn't want them to have him on the cover without permission,
but by the time they got permission, someone at the art department at
Warners mutated the face to where it didn't look like Chi Chi anymore.

The image came from some product Chi Chi endorsed. Mark and Jerry were
amused by the giant golf ball behind the head. You can see an
un-mutated version here:

The funny thing is, Chi Chi eventually gave permission, and was
dissapointed when the final cover didn't look like him.

You oughta sell that word "memeber" to one of those postmodern SubG
rip-off minicults that has trouble making up their own words.

No, that was Philo. And it wasn't dictation that he took. And it wasn't
from Dobbs' MOUTH.

No, technically I was the Assistant Director although really I was more
like a coproducer. Graeme Whiffler was the director technically
although Jerry Casale really directed it.

I would have liked to learn that there is no connection between Devo
and the painfully unfunny Subgenius crew. Bob 1's still a great guitar
player though.
