Q: Are We Not Men?
#Devo #arewenotmen #70smusic #altrock #70srock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! The line and the band's name are based on a satirical and pessimistic theory of human society called "de-evolution". The band's concept of "de-evolution" posits that, contrary to the idea of human progress, mankind is actually regressing. Based on the last few years, I'd say they knew what the hell they were talking about.

The remaining members of the band decided to keep going as a duo (with occasional help from back up studio musicians), and changed their name to Steely Dan. The rest is rock music history!
