I disliked his version too.  But I hate Devo's because the exaggeration of the line I quoted above sounds like sonic blackface to me.

And no crankypants here, but WOS2 to "Talk to Ya Later," the beginning of the Tube's downward spiral into needing a HIT.  Betcha we get "Find Your Way Back" before we're done.

That WOULD be unfortunate, but I have a soft spot for 1981 Tubes, since I had a crush on my RA (freshman year) who played that record.

Devo always had some sort of subtext to their songs, but I was never sure what their motive was for doing WIACM. But I am fully with you on the line in question--seems like they hired their own version of Kingfish to interject that line.

And you're also dead on about the Tubes' desperation for a hit. They'd just been dropped by A&M and Capitol took a flyer on them, but obviously there was some quid pro quo. They hired David Foster to remake their sound and deliver a hit--and he did.

I think he's referring to the Mojo Nixon song of the same name. And so far as I know, the Eagles are an ongoing group, playing casinos and such, or anywhere that offers a fat paycheck.

Might be just me, but I'm not hearing anything in this set that is setting my world on fire. Magnificent Seven is as close as we've gotten, but even that is sounding kinda samey.

What do we have for entertainment?  Co-BOSes to Rick James and the Clash, who also tie for Best Bass Line of Set.
