"Post Kent State I wanted to retaliate and do something. One choice was to have gone militant and joined the Weather Underground people and that would have been ended up in jail and death.

I didn't want to go down that road so I took the creative approach, I started working on my art projects which were polarizing and creative and eventually that became Devo."
