#monkees

Yes, Virginia, I guess I am older that dirt. 1966 was almost a half a century ago. The funny thing is - The Monkees are still part of my life. Who would have thought that, 40 or 45 years ago. Who would have thought I'd see them in concert in both 1986 and after the turn of the century. They've given us 50 years of comedy, music, and memories. Maybe the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should consider immortalizing guys like that. ↗

We've all had our thing. I listened to the Monkees when I was little kid. ↗

The Monkees was a straight sitcom, we used the same plots that were on the other situation comedies at the time. So the music wasn't threatening, we weren't threatening. ↗

When I was 11 I became a massive fan of The Monkees. We had a so-called 'band' of kids on my street and we'd go along to people's houses and mime to Monkees records. ↗

It was so much fun to do, play the blues and then play a Monkees' set on the same night. ↗

My most favourite gigs that ever happened were solo, before The Monkees ever happened. ↗

Original Monkees' songs were produced very thinly, on purpose. ↗

The Monkees are like the mafia. You're in for life. Nobody gets out. ↗
