Most people love Devo, but it’s likely many from younger generations don’t know much about how the group came to be. Well, Mark Mothersbaugh is here to explain, with a cute animated short for Google Play. In it, he tells the story of how learning to see for the first time at age 7 — he was born with myopia — and watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan inspired him to make music. It’s a fascinating origin story, made only better by an adorably animated young Mothersbaugh.
