Infinite MonkeysCalvert DeForest is dead. Friend o' Monkeys Philip Michaels published the quintessential interview 13 years ago. In honor of the great man, I dedicate this month's music purchases to his memory. Rest in peace, Bud.
Personally, I think the old guy would have dug Accept's acoustic version of "Balls to the Wall."
