I'm sifting through the video archives of Devo on YouTube and couldn't resist posting this inteview with Jack Cafferty about 25 years ago. As anyone that ever glances at CNN in the afternoons, Jack Cafferty now plays the role of the cynical Fred Mertzish uber-serious editorialist. And he looks the part.
But back in 1982, he was very much trying for the dashing Chip Moody look, except he just couldn't pull it off. What I found funny about this video was not Devo, but Jack, who may have well been Ed Sullivan talking to Elvis in the fifties. He was trying so hard to be cleverly condescending while keeping his newsman's objectivity. Of course the Gerald is smart enought to know the game. Here's Jack, with Gerald and Mark from Devo 25 years ago
