https://333sound.com/devo-week-day-1-all-is-fair-in-love-and-war-so-whats-life-for-2/ Nagy: The album produced one of the greatest pop hits of the late 20th century, and includes other tracks that deserved to be, all while rallying millions of spuds around the world to question the system and use their heads. My hope is that like Devo, this book strikes a balance between serious discussion and absurd comedy, and between attention to musical detail and a colorful but culturally relevant bigger picture.

Nagy grew up in San Diego, Calif., and She joined - --- https://333sound.com/the-33-1-3-b-sides-week-day-4-royale-with-cheese/ -- on writing: "My 33 ⅓ book on Devo’s Freedom of Choice is a work of pure research and reporting. It lacks any first-person perspective other than a brief origin story in the introduction, which is by and large my M.O. as a writer; my journalism career has been defined by editing, reporting, and criticism, with very little public personal introspection. Which is why dumping a pile of overblown adolescent drama into a brief examination of Music from the Motion Picture Pulp Fiction was such a satisfying joy."
