ROCK AND ROLL OBITUARY
ALAN MYERS
“People watching him thought we were using a drum machine,” he told the Associated Press. “Nobody had ever drummed like that.” Gerald Casale.
The longtime drummer of the band Devo, best known for its 1980 hit “Whip It,” died on Monday in Los Angeles. He was 58.
His death was confirmed by Michael Pilmer, a spokesman for Devo. Mr. Myers had brain cancer.
Mr. Myers was Devo’s drummer during the band’s heyday, from 1976 to 1985.
Devo (short for “devolution”) was formed in Akron, Ohio, in the early 1970s by the singer Mark Mothersbaugh and the bassist Gerald Casale. Known for its use of electronics and its herky-jerky rhythms, the group made its initial breakthrough in 1977 with its version of the Rolling Stones hit “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.”
Mr. Myers was not an original member, but he joined Devo long before it became an MTV staple and played on its earliest albums.
Mr. Casale told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Devo would never have reached the heights it did without Mr. Myers, whom he called the best drummer he had ever played with.
“We were mostly in basements and garages writing songs. It was Alan that brought everything to life,” Mr. Casale said. “That was the catalyst where everything clicked.”
“People watching him thought we were using a drum machine,” he added. “Nobody had ever drummed like that.”

Couplets and Decorations
&History&It is said that the custom of Spring Festival started in when people offered sacrifice to ancestors in the last month of Chinese lunar calendar. At that time, people prepared the sacrifice by doing thorough cleaning, having bathes and so on. Later, people began to worship different deities as well on that day. It is the time that almost all the farm works were done and people have free time. The sacrificing time changed according to the farming schedule and was not fixed until the Han Dynasty (202BC-220AD). The customs of worshipping deities and ancestors remains even though the ceremonies are not as grand as before. It is also the time that spring is coming, so people held all kinds of ceremonies to welcome it.&&Legends&There are many legends about Spring Festival in Chinese culture. In folk culture,&it is also called &guonian& (meaning &passing a year&). It is said that the &nian& (year) was a strong monster which was fierce and cruel and ate one kind of animal including human being a day. Human beings were scared about it and had to hide on the evening when the &nian& came out. Later, people found that &nian& was very scared about the red color and fireworks. So after that, people use red color and fireworks or firecrackers to drive away &nian&. As a result, the custom of using red color and setting off fireworks remains.&Preparing the New Year starts 7 days before the New Year&s Eve. According to Chinese lunar calendar, people start to clean the house on Dec. 24, butcher on Dec. 26th and so on. People have certain things to do on each day. These activities will end Jan. 15th of the lunar calendar.&&

People have many taboos during this period. Many bad words related to &death&, &broken&, &killing&, &ghost& and &illness& or &sickness& are forbidden during conversations. In some places, there are more specific details. They consider it unlucky if the barrel of rice is empty, because they think they will have nothing to eat in the next year. Taking medicine is forbidden on this day, otherwise, people will have sick for the whole year and take medicine constantly.&
