So, my (short) Devo story.

During middle/high school, I worked in a little bike shop. We had a boombox in the repair area.

In the cassette deck: Freedom Of Choice meaning every single morning started with this.

Thinking back, that might have been our only tape.

When you need it, Only Tape is the best tape.

In reply to Woody (Forum Supportum) :

How could we have improved upon that, right? 

If it was first thing in the morning, we were hearing that contorted guitar intro. 

And we liked it that way.
