Re: BP having some fun

The original album cover was Devo's "Freedom of Choice," one of my favorites in high school. It was released in May 1980, just over a year before BP was born. It was released over 9 years before Stanton was born.

And I feel older now...

Re: BP having some fun

I actually just spent the better part of this past week thinking critically about Devo for a writing project, so seeing this yesterday made my day. Awesome on so many levels for a huge Devo fan like myself. Every player in this photo wins points from me for participating (not that BP needed any).

More from the shoot here:

Also, chico, did you know the guys personally or just attend Kent while they were there? Happen to see any of the early gigs?

Re: BP having some fun

Where's the pic from Vottomatic? Is it a WBC promo pic?

EDIT: Never mind, I see the ESPN link. Great pic. Kudos to ESPN for arranging it.
