Interview with Bob Forrest (Thelonious Monster, The Bicycle Thief)

I had the immense pleasure of interviewing Bob Forrest. Mr. Forrest was nice enough to show us around his office and give us a look at his record collection. We talked about Thelonious Monster's first new record in 16 years, the excellent Oh That Monster, about his enduring love for The Replacements, his cover of a Bob Dylan lost gem. The singer also shared the story of John Frusciante's original audition for the band and how his friends in the Red Hot Chili Peppers eventually poached the guitarist, what it was like working with a teenage Josh Klinghoffer for the band The Bicycle Thief, and what's the state of popular music in 2020.
