    "comment": "Jerry Casale of Devo said of this song: \"We wanted to get everybody into a mood where people thought Devo was saying the world was really nice and saying the world was beautiful, then it turns out to be one man's opinion, which is mine, which is, while the world could be beautiful, it's not for me because of what I'm seeing.\"\n\nDevo was founded by Jerry Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh, who were both at Kent State University when four unarmed students were shot to death by the US National Guard. This had a profound effect on Jerry and Mark, who developed the idea of \"De-evolution,\" meaning that humans were devolving rather than evolving.\n--\nWatch the official video here: https://youtu.be/E-gbYjLd93g?si=NMmrbemh92HYEH62",
