I'm sure many jaded, balding 40somethings will be crushed if this is true…

As a jaded, balding, 40-something that was planning on bringing a bunch of jaded, balding 40-somethings to the show, this is bad news.
The
Club Devo website has not been updated since 18 July, so there is no information there on these rather revolting developments.

I'm not a jaded, balding 40something, and true, I will be bummed if this is true, but having that $60 back in my account would ease the sting a bit…

I would assume that if the D.C. date is truly cancelled,someone from the club will chime in very soon with a confirmation…..or then again maybe they won't…….

Sorry, I just figured most 40somethings are balding. Maybe 40something geek rock fans have low levels of testosterone and manage to avoid balding. ;)

I'm only 35, so I don't fall into that catagory, although I am balding, since like….25….gotta love having blonde hair. ;)

"Due to matters beyond their control"
Meaning they couldn't find enough $55 ticket buyers?

Does not look good. Some venues and pollstar are still saying DEVO is playing and other no longer have them on their schedules. As for â??Due to matters beyond their controlâ? that is posted on the Bumbershoot festival web site, I am also going with the could not find enough people to part with $55 a ticket. I was one of the people that did, since I knew the show was going to be good even that I was not thrilled about the cost.

He has very little body hair, which would indicate low levels of testosterone, wouldn't it?

On second thought, nevermind.

I suppose the Kennedy's all had/have low testosterone, too?
What about your idol, Johnny Cash? How low was his testosterone.
Rhett, sometimes you remind me of my brother…the one the hogs ate.

I seem to remember JFK Jr having a hairy chest. Can't say I saw any of the other Kennedy's, or Johnny Cash, shirtless.

So you only monitor the body hair levels of presidents?
How about Millard Fillmore? Was he a hairy mofo?
