Neil Young jams out with Booji Boy and DEVO

[@kiernanthomas6006]

Neil Wrote The song "Ohio" about Kent State massacre. Members of Devo were students at that very school at the time.

[@donnieb.6356]

And Neil was a student at the AssFace University of AssHoles.

[@aliceborealis]

That's right!

[@fatovamingus]

I don't think it was at the same time but I could be wrong I just remember Mothersbaug talking about it and it was like 2 years after

[@theoldar]

@@fatovamingus It was in fact at the same time. They where friends with two of those killed.

[@frankyfurbo1]

It's funny that they treated him like an old man considering Neil Young is only 5 years older than Mark Mothersbaugh. They could've practically gone to high school together.

[@musicresources788]

franky furbo I think they thought that because Neil made music first. So they probably listened to Neil for years while they were still unknown and before they ever made music.

[@FranktheDachshund]

Being both a Neil Young and Devo fan, how did I ever miss this? Thanks for the wild post.

[@russneversleeps8258]

You should hear the whole thing. It shows up online from time to time, and gets taken down...soundtrack of my brain

It’s fantastic.

[@lloydwilson7513]

DEVO was blown away by Neil young? I suppose they are but men and when legend meets legend it hasn't a the same frame of reference

[@emptyemptiness8372]

As an old punk who loved devo as a kid in the late 70s i now have a connection to granolla core Neil Young? Oh the wierd tangled web we age in.

[@kenpeters3744]

The full jam is available on KZbin and is brilliant.

[@jonascooper759]

I absolutely love this! It's one of the sickest if not the sickest music videos ever made

[@tacomadc]

Neil really had a lot of interest in a lot of new music in those days. Awesome.

[@digidrum2003]

One of the best ever collabs in music history......my 4 cents anyways!!!

[@hughiedavies6069]

I love Neil Youngs punk and electronic phase 😊

This really HAS aged well. It's pure gold.

[@memyopinionsche6610]

Love the cover of my my hay hay done by NEIL YOUNG AND DEVO.

[@brianfergus839]

Great stuff. Gerald and Neil are brilliant

[@pauld724]

I never heard the term Grandpa Granola before but Its just been added to my list of catchphrases. Also I was driving out by Neils neighborhood doing side work as a deliver guy for some health food company and this big effen buck with huge antlers wanted to head-butt the grill of my Honda HRV. so I kept backing up slowly nearly running off of the road because of the wide turns (all dirt road)

[@josef2012]

Very cool story,bro

[@johnmartinez316]

For decades, I was perplexed by or about Neil Young, but I've come realize he was a pretty cool guy that made great music.

[@flagwaver1969]

Grandfather of granola. You know...aging hippie, an old tripper, peace, love, and Granola? Gnomesain? Neil Young is an interesting guy, as are the members of Devo.

[@brianm2881]

What's funny is that Gerald Casale used to be a hippie as well, but after personally witnessing the Kent State massacre, he became cynical about that scene.

[@Kkidzz]

Curious if Neil ever listened to early Cabaret Voltaire? Probably would be a fan...just guessing.

[@ChristopherRaymond-zs6wv]

Very high video...watched it many times...great stuff...

[@marcfedak]

Awesome and sort of unexpected collaboration. It's a musical "deconstruction".

[@rodJtip]

Love, love, Love it.

[@fuzzcous]

Can't believe I've never heard of this before.

[@richrider5884]

I vaguely remember something about it. The video shot with Booji is what knocked the dust off.

[@fredpcdotcom]

So bad it was legendary. Neil Young got it.

[@twistedspanner]

Neil Young looks like Billy Bob Thornton here.

[@OthO67]

We're generic, we all look like someone else.

[@donnieb.6356]

Actually, he looks like a huge turd...because that is what he is.

[@tezzrterry7485]

Yeah but which one is crazier?

[@SuperTopcritic]

Booji boy is important! Long live Booji!

[@elderlypoodle9181]

We missed this because Dum Dum MTV didn't play it. 😔

[@MrDegsy69]

elderly poodle i would guess it was not commercial enough for MTV at that time? Radio and TV pioneers like Tony Wilson and John Peel would have had no problem recognising genius like this. They were probably just in the wrong time and place when this busted loose. I only recently discovered this myself and was as guilty of considering Neils work 'granola' as much as anybody else even though i love all of his early back catalogue LPs. I only recently heard 'Trans' and its futuristic concept makes more sense to me now in the context of this collaboration with Devo. It would have been to much of a 'Bob Dylan goes electric' moment for his older generation of hippy fans as it is truly a sea change in style.

[@christophervaldez8746]

elderly poodle This was at least 3 or 4 years before MTV existed.....

[@milesdufourny4813]

​@@christophervaldez8746 Wrong, MTV started in the summer of 1981 and Human Highway was released in 1982.

[@christophervaldez8746]

@@milesdufourny4813 the movie was released in 1982, but this scene with Devo was filmed in 1978. It took Neil 4 years to make the movie....

[@wcsxwcsx]

Good old Neil. Autistic guys like him can be very versatile in their creativity throughout their lives.

[@40below1000]

Neil's son is also severely autistic and is confined to a wheelchair. He loved trains, so Neil bought the Lionel company.

[@evannaveevan]

Neil isn't autistic.

[@evannaveevan]

Nice

[@riccardotorri]

who's Johnny rotten when you have Booji Boy?

[@TomBalint]

There was a video with Devo from about 1980 that featured Devo with their tradition flower pot hats and Neil Young. I don’t recall the song but I think it was one of Devo’s. Does anyone know what song it was and where I might find it?

[@SadfunSack4]

I think I’ve seen them doing a version of Neil’s Mr Soul

[@TomBalint]

@@SadfunSack4, Wish someone would post them to KZbin. I saw it at a friend's in 1984 around the time I saw Bruce Springsteen at the Buffalo Auditorium.

so what the hell is this from? wheres the rest?

[@SVInLikeFlynn]

It was a segment from the PBS Show American Experience on Neil Young. This was all that was featured about Neil and DEVO

[@ignatiusdemonseed]

The entire jam is part of Neil's movie "Human Highway." Look it up! Go with the glow, boys!

[@finnmcginn9931]

Mark Mothersbaugh and Neil Young are a little less than 5 years apart in age.

[@TofuTehSurvivor]

Where is this from?

[@SVInLikeFlynn]

It was from the Neil Young American Masters TV show on PBS.

[@yorkemar]

Some of it reminds me of too much paranoia song

[@douglasfrench6998]

I love both Neil and Devo, but Human Highway was terrible.

[@ignatiusdemonseed]

Yes, as a movie, HH pretty much sucks. Yet Dennis Hopper is there. Best line in the film, from Irene Goodnight: "What's on? Your mind?"

[@txicocamotl]

Whitest boys in the hood.

[@fstover5208]

Never liked Neil Young. I think he saw Devo as an opportunity to cut loose, like therapy.

[@donnieb.6356]

You are completely justified for not liking him...Neil Young is one of the biggest Ass-Holes who ever lived.

[@crungefactory]

Neil cut loose often and for decades.

[@milesdufourny4813]

Neil is the only rock personality from the sixties that I have any respect for. 99% of the others got lame, boring and grumpy - or worse yet, a pathetic parody of themselves.

[@DaveTex2375]

​@@milesdufourny4813Funny, Neil Young did an album criticizing Monsanto back in the day, yet flipped out when Joe Rogan had the audacity to trust his doctor, and question big pharma.

[@mebeasensei]

Bad combination...I think DEVO and Cher would have been better, maybe Madonna

[@a.jseventyseven8771]

We could have seen Mark's vision of Madonna sticking a french fry up her butt.

[@YTPartyTonight]

TommyTwobats: The very fact that people seem to either love or hate it to my mind makes it all the more legit artistically speaking.

[@donnieb.6356]

This was originally going to be titled, "Devo and A Huge Turd"...but everyone knew it was Neil Young.

[@crazytadventures9052]

When I want to get annoyed or ticked off I watch My My Hey Hey with Devo because first of all that song I think is one of Neil's worst and that masked thing in the crib makes me want to kick it in the face.

[@FYMASMD]

Stay away. Unless you are a masochist.

[@buickmonte]

Freakin funny!!!

[@dantofthegenxfamily9529]

That's DEVO talking about DE-EVoltion of Man. They want you to feel like that. The Mask is of a child, with a grown ups body. That's exactly their stance on man's current state,,back in 80.

[@jeffkaufman9875]

@Crazy T Nice, Crazy, real nice… Now I wanna put you in the crib and kick your ass…

[@greeneyeddevil7251]

I'm guessing they mean bland and boring.
