Bob and The Monster
Bob Forrest, cool-headed counsellor on Celebrity Rehab, revisits his heyday as charismatic front man and lyricist for indie band Thelonious Monster, and his struggle with the ultimate rock accoutrement: heroin. With idols like Lenny Bruce and the Beat writers, Bob was bound to become a junkie. Just as inevitable was the implosion of his band and his crash and burn. But his transformation into one of the most influential addiction specialists in the US is a surprising twist and his true career pinnacle. Bob and the Monster is a heady mix of claymation, rare archival performance footage, home video and interviews with seminal L.A. artists like the Circle Jerks, Fishbone, Jane’s Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns N’ Roses and Courtney Love.
