I figured I might as well write about the other Devo comp that sold with Greatest Misses the other day.  That would be it's alpha companion piece, Greatest Hits. All my favorites: "Jocko Homo," "Gates of Steel," "Beautiful World," "Satisfaction" with songs I initially couldn't stand but of course noticed like "Working In A Coal Mine" and "Peek A Boo."  It's all there and it can't be denied.

I finally got around to watching the videos for half these tracks.  "Whip It" of course and "Peek A Boo" I remembered in its day and also Freedom of Choosing Donuts, but the rest I hadn't seen except maybe a snippet of Satisfaction.   There was a whole new world for mainstays like "Girl U Want," "Through Being Cool" and "Beautiful World" and even the previously ignored by me "That's Good."  

Whips, conical hats, glasses and rubber masks.

For you.

Bob opens Street-Legal.  Coincidentally, this was the amount of time he was a professional recording artist.  I wouldn't pin Bob on railing about his place in the marketplace, but I wouldn't put it past him to sneak it in either.  However, in my fantasy world,  Bob isn't bound by these earthly pursuits lyrically.  He can get paid and hash out issues with management and the help on his own ...
