General Boy Interview

[@odinvonzero]

RIP Robert Mothersbaugh Sr.

[@dcashley303]

+odinvonzero Such a great person and father.

[@wingitprod]

90... Not too shabby.

[@MultiPetercool]

If there were a Bob 1 and Bob 2, he was Bob 0. I say that as the highest possible complement. A brilliant man and clearly a loving father.

[@markfavro3688]

Such a proud Dad. Nice to see.

[@wingitprod]

Truly.

[@jefferyossello7011]

I dig devo like I did in 1981 and as I will when I pass on.

[@henrym6411]

All hail General Boy! He will always live on.

[@joshuakatz2499]

I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s in Cleveland oh and was a major devo fan. They really helped me through adolescence. My friends and I went to the local library to find the mothersbaugh phone number in the white pages for Akron. We called the number and Bob was so kind to talk to us teenagers when we would call occasionally. He was so sweet and seemed happy to talk to us. In 88 when devo came to town we were short one ticket and they invited us to come to the house to get the extra ticket. Mom and dad were there and Bob 1 was sitting on the living room couch warming up for the show (he did not talk to us though)

[@thebudgetgamer]

Oh dad, we're all Devo

[@joanpelpinosas]

Well, i think it is safe to say he was a proud father to all of his children. Especially to his sons. Wish all parents would be as supporting as that (with the condition of not hurting anyone or themselves). Such a quiet simple man. He's a role model for would-be fathers.

[@marcellofreitas7356]

Such a nice old man. No wonder Mark and Bob are real nice guys.

[@csriggs]

Bob seems like a really nice and smart guy. I like his accurate descriptions that are lacking in embellishments like "entertaining" or "props". Where as us fans would say spud collar or whatever.

[@j.jasonwentworth723]

If he didn't have a numerical "title" associated with DEVO (such as "Bob 1" and "Bob 2" [the late Robert Casale]), the late Robert Mothersbaugh, Sr. should be referred to as "Bob Prime," because without him (and his wife, of course), there would have been no DEVO!

[@toddberg3892]

J. Jason Wentworth Bob Zero perhaps

[@GrantTarredus]

Todd Berg Who is that, please?

[@CKT1138]

@@toddberg3892 Bob 0 is Bob Lewis, General Boy is Bob Prime

[@markorendas1423]

SO UPLIFTING TO SEE A DAD WHO TRULY WAS A IMPORTANT PERSON IN THIER LIVES AND CAREERS. TALENTED KIND AND GREAT HEARTED

[@jqueen1380]

What a dear soul. Enjoyed the interview.

[@johnhubersoloartist1069]

I wish my dad would have been like this guy.....

[@Bijazable]

Be that Dad, if you get a chance.

[@EndingSummerwithRalph]

So funny! I remember the "Bombs Away"! I watched DEVO in Central Park NYC around 1980, stood in line all day, threw up, felt better, and had a great night! The movie screen videos blew me away and I was really close! BTW, anyone else notice father talking at @8:08 about the Kent Campus shooting where Mark and Bob were students, he says something like "Mark and the other boy", lol.

[@dcashley303]

God, I'd love to sit down and chat with Bob, he seems like such a great guy. So supportive and understanding too

[@jmcieslak0]

He raised 'em real good

[@charlesflint9048]

I’ve loved DEVO for about 40yrs, and it is really good to see this interview.( I just tuned in to music for insomniacs and it is wonderful thank you)

[@mjinabnit4481]

Wow, what a GREAT dad. Makes sense why I still love the band to this day. His kids did him proud and he reflects the pride right back at them. Thanks for finding this video treasure. Regards, j

[@stevetatum4169]

Thanks for posting this.

[@helmutsecke3529]

Der General Boy war ein sehr Geehrter Herr.

[@jeffmccammack5853]

Head of an American CIA family. The original American Dad.

[@syqko]

ROBERT 1 RULES!!

[@Brvnkaerv]

All my male pets have the surname of Boy. I have a cat named Slender-Boy. I even call all animals by their names, and add Boy to them, Such as wasp boys and lizard boys, racoon boys, and possum boys.

[@anonymoushuman8344]

Monkey Boys, even?

[@pjmuck]

RIP General Boy. What were the circumstances surrounding his death? Was he ill for a while?

[@daniellebuie8098]

Yes, he was 91 years old & cared for very lovingly by his family through terminal illness.

[@professortiki]

"Muttersbach" really means "Mother's Creek".

[@pumkinbreath]

All hail general boy!!!

[@CamiciNera-17m]

Music you would hear at Goldblatts.

[@SomeLittleDevil]

How is General Boy these days?

[@jeffkaufman9875]

You can tell that’s Mark’s dad because of the nose!…

[@youngbrazy3627]

Isn’t he Buried in oak wood cemetery

[@QuarrellaDeVil]

Yes, with his wife, and his parents are there, too.
