Reply to comment by neiromaru in Devo documentary film announced (simply titled 'Devo') and will be directed by Tiger King/American Movie/Fyre director Chris Smith by YoureASkyscraper

When I saw that Behind the Music episode I thought Mothersbaugh was being dryly ironic. Besides, nothing tops "Beautiful World".

Someone saw a rough cut and said that Mark kept turning it down cause it only focused on the band for a portion of it then kept on talking about Gerry's kinks and sexcapades and it's like dude, I don't give a shit about that side, the Devo image and ethos and music could fill a whole mini-series and the fans want to hear about that.

The whole New Traditionalists Album is fantastic. My two favorite songs of theirs are Worried Man and Come Back Jonee.

I remember the group saying how happy they were to be in the movie Human Highway because they got to keep the costumes they wore for their performance of Jonee. All those years spent busting their butts and they couldn't afford to buy new threads.

Ooh, it's a good one but I'd offer my favorite, in contrast. "Planet Earth"

I'm not sure that it's their best song, but I do think it's their best song/video combination. After hearing the song s number of times, the video made me hear it and understand it much differently.
