    Bob1 always provided the true "punk" edge to what could otherwise have been an "overly intellectual" endeavour. On stage, his gum-chewing nonchalance perfectly balances out the more involved and choreographed antics of the others - until he cuts loose during his solos. He's really the soul of the band and probably one of my favorite guitarists.

    When I was 18 (1988) had tix to devo concert in Cleveland.
    Needed one more for the show.
    Called Bob senior (General Boy) in Akron to see if we could get an extra ticket from them (we were just teenagers and he was so nice to just take our phone calls from time to time.)
    He said come on down to his house to get one.
    We got there and Bob was just sitting there on the couch warming up for the show later that night.
    It was amazing for us kids as we were huge fans.
    He did not stop to talk to us and we did not bother to interrupt him.

    Honestly, I wondered how someone as handsome as Bob 1 ended up in such a subversive and nerdy band like Devo. Usually, lanky, athletic guys with the chiseled jawline ended up getting all the chicks in high school and sliding right into the American Dream, letting the days go by, finding themselves behind the wheel of a large automobile...that was the whole world that Devo was profoundly alienated by and critical of.

      To me, his look provided the sliver of "punk" aesthetic in those early days. His physique, pronounced features and his "cool" demeanor would have made him seem right at home with fellow Ohio misfits "The Dead Boys" (ironically, he and Stiv Bators looked much more like they could be brothers than Mark and Bob ever did), but here he was, right in the middle of the nerd crew. It's just one of those many, little idiosyncracies about the band where - on paper - things should have never fit, but instead worked out perfectly.
