Was  shopping for cds today, and checked out the Joke section--one copy of KJ 
2003  had a hilarious sticker on it--something to the effect of "Beware of 
crude  language and potentially offensive content"--I guess the distributor is 
afraid  of people hearing about what's really going on in the world.
I know people  will sneer and snicker, but I did buy a USED copy of "Devo 
2.0". It's actually  quite enjoyable, and my 9 month old loved dancing to it 
w/me. The only  disappointment was that a few Devo lyrics were changed to be more 
kid-friendly  (like some lines in "Uncontrollable Urge" about wanting a 
snack!). There was  also a video w/animation and interviews w/Mark M. and Bob Casale 
trying to  explain de-evolution to pre-teens (and after being a fan for 28 
years, I  finally learned how to pronounce their last names). I think the 
project was  all in fun, and why not expose kids (or infants, in my case) to good 
music!  There's also 2 new Devo tunes, one lame and one not  bad. ANd Alex, I  
know you'll always stick up for DEVO!

P.S. What is this band w/Mick  Jones in it people are talking about? I'm lost 
(although we did get exposure  to Topper's "Queen" band in the US, and yes, 
they seem to  suck...
