PROFILE: Across the time barrier came Willy and his Minks, DeVille revved and roaring. Contracted for extra Capitol, the band soundtracked through Hard Core and Cruisin'—and came out bruising. In France, by chance, came Blue Cat—and Edith Piaf would be shamed. Back across the Atlantic—with no more Capitol—Willy has returned. Eat that can, Willy!
BEER: Boy Howdy!
