devolution in action

[adelaidesean]

Devo is suing McDonalds for stealing the design of their iconic "energy dome" and sticking it on a Happy Meal toy promoting American Idol.

"The very same people that wanted nothing to do with Devo and looked down on Devo and condescended (to) Devo... enough time's gone by that they go, 'Hey, you know those guys are synonymous with what was new about New Wave,"' [said bass player Gerald Casale].

"They didn't ask us anything. Plus, we don't like McDonald's, and we don't like American Idol, so we're doubly offended."

Could they be cooler?

Hey, my pleasure! Thanks for coming along. It was a fun weekend, wasn't it?

It was very impressive and by all accounts the minor criticisms I have (website sucks, partner's program cancelled, labour-intensive registration) are all being addressed.

Which means next year will be even better :-)

I'm looking forward to it already. :-)
