• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_Twins - doesn't mention the shaved eyebrow thing, 
• SNL: Devo, B-52s, David Bowie
• It wasn’t uncontrollable urge; it was Satisfaction and then Jocko Homo
• And it was between their first two albums - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_Now_for_the_Future came out in 1979
• And during Jocko Homo, they stripped off the radiation suits 
• https://www.reddit.com/r/LiveFromNewYork/comments/zf4vwz/devo_performing_jocko_homo_on_snl_in_1978/
• That video excerpt from SNL does NOT include the really amazingly even wierder  original lead-in, an clip from In The Beginning Was The End, with Booji Boy and his father, General Boy, discussing The Truth About De-Evolution.

Prompt the second: Bay of Pigs

• https://www.netflix.com/title/81614129 - Turning Point: The Bomb and The Cold War
  • Yes, I somehow missed that The Bomb is right there in the title, so it's not a coincidence that it's focused on the nuclear part of The Cold War.
