Today's music is based on some sad news this week for fans of the innovative art-rock band Devo. Guitarist Bob Casale died on Monday from heart failure. He was 61 years old. Bob and his brother Gerald were founding members of the band which started on the campus of Kent State University in reaction to the shooting of students by the National Guard in 1970. Casale's guitar playing was a key element of the distinctive Devo sound.
