I listen to Oldies - and for me that means the 40s and 50s.

Yep! Back when singers and band members dressed up on stage - no jeans with rips in them and left-over garage-sale shirts or black T-shirts with nasty pictures and profane words - sometimes a group would even all dress alike - and nicely so. No doing sexual explicit movements with their guitars. No screaming and ranting and raving - the music did not assault your hearing and the lyrics made sense. The music groups didn't trash their hotel rooms and OD on drugs right and left. No, no flower pots on their heads either- although I have never seen that.

Those aren't flower pots, they're energy domes. Yes, I'm a long-time
Devo fanatic, and I hope I'm not too late for a few of those tickets.

Jean,
I'd be VERY interested in getting two tickets to the Devo concert. I'll bet I've seen Devo earlier than anyone else on this list. We saw them around 1975 or 1976 before they even had any records out -- either in Akron or around Kent State University, Ohio (what's round at the ends and high in the middle -- O-HI-O!!!). We used to follow them weekly to the Pirate's Cove in Cleveland when they teamed up with Pere Ubu, sometimes the lead act, and sometimes the headliner (they switched, since neither band was well-known at the time). So, Jean, if you could give us two tickets to Devo, I sure would appreciate it!

I remember DEVO from a performance on Saturday Night Live. Now people
are more likely to remember the song they did for "Swiffer" type mops.
"Mom" cleans the house to DEVO's "Whip It" but with lyrics modified
to fit the product.

golly the blues and jazz artists from the 40s and 50s that have
actually developed an enduring legacy had a lot of explicit lyrics
and drug use...do we have to go any farther than louis armstrong...a
lifelong pothead and his lyrics with the hot 5s are fairly direct...

Believe it or not, this seems to be all the rage again with the "emo kids."
Only add black eyeliner and suppressed teenage angst to the mix.

Steve and John: You get the last 2 tickets. They're in the mail today.
Sorry, for the rest of the requests I couldn't fill.

There was a lot of other stuff in the background that you didn't hear
about. For instance, Sinatra and Phyllis McGuire (McGuire sisters) had
Mob connections, and there were others. Many big band members and
other jazz musicians had drug and alcohol problems, even though they
dressed up nice for their concerts. Gene Krupa comes to mind.
I'll grant you that things got worse in the 50s thru 70s, but the
drug/alcohol problems were always there. You know about Elvis, but
Bill Haley (Rock Around the Clock) died of alcohol problems, as did
Hank Williams in country.
Incidentally, Devo was one of the bands that never got into drugs;
they were weird and creative enough without them; several were art
majors. They might not have been to your taste (or a lot of other
tastes here) but the weirdness with the flower pots was all part of
their concert act (sometimes called performance art).
If I still lived in Las Vegas, I'd take a pair of those tickets.
