Spinner:

On the eve of Devo's summer tour, featuring a free AOL-sponsored show at Toronto's NXNE festival on June 18 at Yonge-Dundas Square, Spinner caught up with frontman Mark Mothersbaugh and singer-bassist Gerald Casale for a rare interview about the respect they've gained from their peers and the battles they've fought against their record label, their own followers, and humanity in general. Oh, and also "stupid" Sarah Palin.

What is really stupid is old "rockers" believing they are still relevant.

Bad Religion are 30 years old, still making albums and touring, and still the biggest band in punk. The singer is now a Cornell University prof and is having a bird fossil named after him for his contributions to evolutionary biology. The guitarist still owns the biggest independent record label around, releasing albums by Weezer, Tom Waits, Mike Franti and loads more. Relevant in several fields.

I think the days of the money-sucking record companies are fast coming to an end - about damn time too! Technology is making them irrelevant IMO.

Yeah, those Hollywood types from Akron... and are you asserting that if they were younger their opinions would mean more to you? Or perhaps if they had a current hit and were playing arenas you would value their opinions more? I think maybe you had better look into the ideas of Lady Gaga - she fits the bill for what you seem to think is relevant.

They live in Hollywood larry, I'm sure they have homes in Ohio also,but L.A. and NYC are where the music biz is , and no I meant they look too old to be touring , what I was saying is that celebrities seem to think they are more important than you or I

Mark Mothersbaugh (Lead Singer of Devo) has scored numerous films and tv shows... "Hollywood type" is a very acceptable/fitting title.

You must be VERY young or severely sheltered to not know who Devo is,,, either way, both of those possibilities would explain why you think Palin is anything more than a m0ron.

He said sensational - he did not say smart. Even her fellow conservatives realize she is nothing more than a mascot.

"Sensational Sarah Palin" is one of those sensations that can usually be eliminated with Prep H or Tucks medicated pads, or maybe Compound W could make her disappear.

They could probably muster a more coherent thought than anyone in this cowardly Congress (except Dennis Kucinich).
