The Firemen: "Are We Not Clowns?" (parody)

The Firemen (via Misah and Paul Williams), "Jocko Bozo" (Parody); Eds., Wisdom Quarterly

(Mistah) KROQ 106.7 FM used to be a cool alternative radio station out of Pasadena, California. They were early adopters and promoters of DEVO. They once put together a Devotees cover compilation (Rhino/Posh Boy Records, 1979), which included The Firemen asking the perennial question, "Are we not clowns?" The answer to which is, "We are BOZO." It's hard to find, but some kind person posted it over a Devo live performance. Enjoy before it's taken down on Mothersbaugh grounds.
