Devo's guitarrist Bob Mothersbaugh
What would be a better Halloween celebration than to go to a Devo concert in New York City?
Well, everything was ready to celebrate Halloween on Saturday Oct 30th at the Hammerstein Ballroom until last Wednesday when a press release announced that "A glass shard sliced Mothersbaugh’s right thumb to the bone, severing a tendon. He underwent immediate emergency surgery and is expected to make a full recovery after proper care and therapy".
So now we have no Devo concert and a free party...Nothing will make it up to me. I really wanted to see Devo live.
On the other hand I can't imagine how Bob Mothersbaugh must feel after the stupid accident. Although he looks happy. He's probably thinking that it could've been worse. At least he didn't loose his thumb! Remember how Rick Allen (Def Leppard's drummer) lost his arm in a car accident on Dec 31 1984?
Anyway, Devo's tour was postponed until Spring 2011 but "Founding Members Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale Will Still Attend Moogfest in Asheville, NC, to Accept Moog Innovation Award, On October 29th".
Oh, before I forget,they also say on the official Website to "Please mail any 'Get Well' cards & letters for Bob1 to:
AMY HUDSON
SPECTACLE ENTERTAINMENT GROUP
Attn: Get Well Bob1!
