My guest this week is the legendary Bob Forrest! Thelonious Monster is back with their first record in 14 years, ‘Oh This Monster, which dropped on Election Day 2020. This year has also seen the reissue of The Bicycle Thief’s 1999 album ‘You Come and Go Like a Pop Song”. Over the course of our 2 hour + conversation, Bob and I chat about a wide range of topics including the Lakers, getting Thelonious Monster back together, the idea of living in the now and not the past, revisiting VH1’s Celebrity Rehab, twitter dumping, Bob’s years rocking the vote with MTV, rivaling Roseann as the worst National Anthem singer of all time, cancel culture and BLM, addiction in America, politics, and I share my story behind being Ivanka Trump’s body double on Celebrity Apprentice.
Bob shares some intimate stories about Darby Crash, Magic Johnson, George W, and Leonard Cohen, and we get explore that infamous Pink Pop Festival ’93 performance.
