I've got Now It Can Be Told.
Saw the tour they recorded it during, in fact, Total Devo tour 1988.
Saw the Cleveland show, and met General Boy (aka Mark and Bob 1's dad) outside after the show.

The cover art of NICBT is lifted from the original hardback edition of a book called In The Beginning Was The End by Oscar Kiss Maerth, which is the book the Devo got a lot of their devolutionary theories from.

I have this book, it is truly insane and quite creepy. Lots of pics of cannibals, trepanning, and various mutated people.

Nice choice of juke music, Dr.Z. That's maybe their best song ever. Top 10 for sure.

How did I fail to notice the paralel between the cover of Freedom of Choice, and Ahu Nau Nau on Rapa Nui?
Well spotted there, my friend.

Devo tix for Chicago are $65 plus ticket master fees. No thanks...
