Beautiful World

This is one of my all time favorite music videos and a classic early MTV video. The guys in Devo, particularly their leader Gerald V. Casale, were early pioneers of the music video form and were art and film school geeks. It reflects the irony I see in the world, the sublime, the beautiful against the stark, sullen, blues of depression. I some times get a little down certain times of year but spring always brings me out of it. I have many plans for the summer in terms of getting outside and away from the blues and the beers. Not that I am turning angelic, just trying to cleanse.

Here’s the Devo video for Beautiful World which many consider a music video masterpiece.

It’s a beautiful world!
