Devo, with Mark Mothersbaugh in glasses. "I can't remember the last time we played Philadelphia. But I remember the first time. It was at a place called the Hot Club [in 1977]. They paid us with Philly steak sandwiches and a stripper. We still love Philly steak sandwiches, and we still love strippers."
