Very sad news to report today.

Bob Casale of Devo. Born: July 14th, 1952 . Deceased: February 17th, 2014

As an original member of Devo, Bob Casale was there in the trenches with me from the beginning. He was my level-headed brother, a solid performer and talented audio engineer, always giving more than he got. He was excited about the possibility of Mark Mothersbaugh allowing Devo to play shows again. His sudden death from conditions that lead to heart failure came as a total shock to us all.

Gerald Casale, Devo founder.
http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/18/showbiz/devo-bob-casale-dead/
He was known by fans as "Bob 2" since he played alongside guitarist Bob Mothersbaugh, the brother of Devo co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh.
The new wave band began after Gerald Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh met as art students at Kent State University. The group wrote its first music in May 1970 -- the same month National Guard troops fired on anti-war protesters on the Kent State campus, killing four students.

    I mean, there are a lot of celebrities, so celebrity deaths are going to be happening basically all the time

    At least it wasn't the bassist from Kajagoogoo or even the fiddler from Dexy's Midnight Runners. I had way more material on those guys.

    It's selfish of me, but I'm always really saddened by the death of someone from a group whose music I'd only really just started to enjoy. It feels like missed time or something, I don't know.

    Devo was a great band who was known for a mediocre catchy song.

    This is sad news, as all deaths are.

    I love Devo. Heard about this earlier today and was saddened.

    One of my favorites from them:

    I never really liked any Devo I heard.

    But I liked a lot of stuff that was influenced by them, and I find myself caring far more for influential musicians rather than ones I just find good.

    And 61 is way too young to go so this is incredibly sad.

    Mark Mothersbaugh said he hated Weird Al for making the best Devo song (not sincerely, of course, but I'm always amused by that)
    they also inspired the Polysics

    Devo's latest wide release album, Something for Everybody, was pretty great

    and then Something Else for Everybody was released last year and had some songs that didnt make the cut, which was neat

    I remember the first time I saw Devo. It was on Johnny Carson, at my first house in like 1980. I ws staying up late that night for some reason, probably summer, and I was entranced by these guys with the funny hats. Now I'm on cholesterol medicine and high blood pressure meds, and this sign of my age strikes me pretty had. Devo.. man... I love those guys.
