E Pluribus Unum

I'll tell you how old I am: I'm familiar with Mark Mothersbaugh primarily through the music he scored for the kids' cartoon show Rugrats, which my kids (and I) loooooved. Later in his career, he scored all the Wes Anderson films (Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums, et. al.) Of course he was first recognized as a founding member of DEVO.

It's a great video with Mothersbaugh reflecting on much of his career, from the birth of DEVO following the Kent State University shootings in 1970, to the meaning of Devolution, to his early mail art and recent Beautiful Mutant series of manipulated photos.
