LIVE! From Central Park Summestage watching it right now. DEVO is performing "Whip It". Those were the days that MTV used to play music videos. I hated this particular piece because MTV repeated it so much. Now is quite music to my ears listening to it once more.

 

[BFG]

I've heard/seen them do that song on HDNet a couple times, it is fun

The Horsemen 1.5 stars out of 5. Not a very good movie. The scenery is the most beautiful thing about the movie. The rest is just not worth to see. First you a horse race where a dead goat needs to transporter from point to the 'circle of justice'. All the horsemen fight for the dead goat to the point that some get killed and every thing is allowed -- from whipping your opponent to have him killed. The son of clan leader loses the race and ends up in the hospital with a broken leg. His stuborness takes him out of the hospital and he takes a long path back home in which he loses his leg. There some other stories hidden but it just no reason to make this movie. BTW, everytime one of these clan leaders move or say something a whole population of men just listens and pays attention. Nothing happens unless these leaders move or talk... I could say more but you see where I am going with this.
