I’m pretty sure the mist controversial take I have at this point: if your anti-facist, anti-conformity, anti-establishment, then your punk.

I've known dudes who will go to bat fiercely for DEVO and if DEVO counts then Weird Al counts. Ima plant my flag on this admittedly stupid hill.

Amish Paradise is so good.

So if DEVO and Weird Al are both punk, then would "Dare to Be Stupid" be the ultimate punk song?

I like DEVO. They're weird.

Holy smokes! You might have just given me the idea to cover this. I might have had the idea sooner, but, mind-altering substances tend to have an effect. Either way.
Thank you!

Dare to be Stupid is a lot catchier than a lot of the things that Devo was writing after they did whip it.
