Mme Reclus and I were huge fans, we had even named our 4' pet black rat snake "Devo".

They put on a terrific show (they're actually much better on stage than on video). It was the tour plugging their "New Traditionalists" album and part of the schtick was that they were all dressed up in NAZI boy scout uniforms. The whole album, even the title, was about the inherent contradiction between "New" and "Traditional", and I suppose the Hitler Youth outfits were supposed to satirize that anachronism, there was nothing new in that particular iconography. I suspect the audience missed that, though.

At the end of the show, which they closed with a solemn, anthem-like rock ballad, the audience rose en masse and saluted the stage, silently, rigidly at attention, with an upraised right arm topped with a clenched fist.

It scared the crap out of me.
