I'm surpised, because the author purchased the Ken-Joe from that video
for a fair price indeed!
But really that's only 30 seconds of animation among their illustrious
career of millions of concerts in theaters and bars, dating back to the
aptly named Devonian.

Yes but pardon me, I did not create that piece of clip art, and it
shows the TRUE SUBGENIUS CONSCIOUSNESS and BULLDADA UNDERSTANDING of
that fine band, The Devos. It is right and meet that Dobbs should be
elevated above ALL his servants, even, yes, even the Sacred Scribe.
ESPECIALLY over the Sacred Scribe! -- for the Scribe is but his clerk,
and only one of many in an infinite multitude of small businesses.
In fact we do not know who created the original wash drawing or
whatever it was before reduction and halftoning, that very Portrait of
"Bob" which is most mayjackal, and which has reproduced the most times,
borne the most children. We do not know what product or service it was
first meant for. For all we know it may have been commisioned by "Bob"
himself for his business card; he hasn't said, to our knowledge. But it
looks more typical of those hundreds of other ad graphics that he
minddlessly, profitably modeled for in the 50s and 60s. It's just the
BEST one. I wish we knew who painted it. It's definitely not a photo,
but a very realistic portrait -- it agrees with the few known actual
photos of J. R. "Bob" Dobbs.
I was in the presence of Dr. Philo Drummond himself when he came upon
that Grandfather of All Dobbsheads, in an uncopyrighted book of
clip-art used by Yellow Pages salesmen, deep in the catacombs beneath
the Southwestern Bell building. That Original One Which Hath Reproduced
is in my possession, though not in the Cleveland Heights lab facility.
Its Twin, the Virgin True Dobbshead, which has never been so much as
Xeroxed, much less etched onto living people's backs in hickies, is in
the secure possession of Dr. Philo Drummond. Dobbstown monkscholars
have lately suspected that "The Twins With the Scissors of Sight" may
possibly somehow relate to these two pieces of Ur-Clip-Art. IF THIS IS
SO, the ramifications on Church doctrine could be so profound, so
deeply disruptive of all we thought we knew, that we may have to change
everything we have believed our whole lives about X-Day and the fate of
All Souls.

I was in junior high when Devo appeared. Devo and the Talking Heads.
(The MTV video for "Once in a Lifetime" is a masterpiece of
Subingenuity or bulldada or something ... even if that piker David
Byrne doesn't want to acknowledge the obvious presence of the Hand of
Dobbs in his work). It was a hellish and surreal time, with Disco
still alive and struggling back like Christopher Lee with a wooden
spike being driven through his chest and pink Kensignton Gore on his
lips. TEN YEARS of heroin-depressing fucking seventies music. That's
what made disco a hit as long as it was, everything else was FUCKING
DEPRESSING. And that was my CHILDHOOD. Even the HAPPY songs were
depressing. I got Jimmy Buffet's "wasted away in Margaritaville"
stuck in my head the other day ... it's a HAPPY song, it really is,
and it is FUCKING DEPRESSING. It's depresing BECAUSE it's happy.
Explain that one to me. And the alternative was heavy metal, which
was pretty fucking stupid by and large. But it existed because
everybody was so SICK OF THE FUCKING HIPPY SHIT.
Bands like Devo and the Talking Heads were like Paul on the road to
Damascus for me.
Then I dropped acid and discovered the Stones, Hendrix, and the Doors,
and blew Devo and David Byrne off forever.
Still, it was a pretty inspiring couple weeks there for me when I
first discovered them.

I dug up that old picture of the smiling guy with the pipe with two
sets of eyes again the other day. Yoiu know the one? I think it was
painted in the 50's and somebody discovered it in an old cafe in
Arizona or soemthing.
That's some seriously creepy fucking shit.

That piper David Byrne is, in fact, an ordained SubGenius minister;
however, he's probably forgotten all about it. Stang's the one who
can confirm this, but the story I heard goes like this: While doing
research and preparation for his movie "True Stories," Byrne contacted
Stang and was actually going to do a piece on the Church of the
SubGenius as part of the film. When Stang told him that membership
was $20 (as it was in those days), Byrne allegedly whipped out a $20
bill and signed up right there and then. However, the SubGenius
segment was cut out of the final edition of the film; in all
likelihood, it probably never even reached the final cut. And Byrne
most likely forgot about us once the film was over and done with.
However, because he did sign up, then we can indeed say that David
Byrne is an ordained SubGenius minister. What's more, when he's
Ruptured up with the rest of us on X-Day (July 5th, 2005!), he'll
probably be the type of guy who'll enjoy the hell out of the Rupture.

Just curious, did he ever say what poisoned the
well between him and the other Talking Heads?

I'm sure Chris (Tina's husband for nearly 20 years)
wasn't too pleased about that.

it didn't stop him 'lifting' the whole devival experience and using it
(unaknowledged) for the "Puzzling Evidence" segment of the movie though.
hmmm. "Puzzling Evidence"???? where've I heard That name before??
p'haps Rev. Stang could expand on this...?

Every time you mention Stang in awe, another Bobbie gets his butt
plug. I guess that explains a certain percentage of the muffled
screams.
