Because some artists walked away from the experiences with
lessons learned, while others did not. I think Devo didn't
learned very much (mainly the Casales)- their output was
miserable after Eno. On the other hand, Mark Mothersbaugh
on his own is a highly creative and inventive guy with or
without Eno.
