Ah, Devo. I loved these guys.
You’ve got to assume that these former art school majors came up with some pretty great album covers. Surprisingly, this is the only one that really passed muster for me. The rest are just kinda weird. Good weird, but mostly just weird nonetheless.
Okay, you get the picture. Like I say, art school majors.
The album in question was designed by one Joe Heiner. Couldn’t find much on him, though it does look like he’s got 10 credits on discog.com.
The golfer started out as real golfer Chi Chi Rodriguez (who actually appears on the single “Be Stiff”). After some hesitation by the record company (Warner), though, front man Mark Mothersbaugh subbed a composite of all the US presidents from JFK through Ford.
This was Devo’s first album. No real hits, I’m afraid. The music video for “Jocko Homo” may be one of the weirdest ever however.
