RIP Peter Tork - Drunk Monk - 02-21-2019
I saw the Monkees at Great America once. This girl I was dating in High School (my prom date no less) was way into Davy, her High School crush, so we went. That must have been the mid-80s sometime. Mike wasn't with them and was sorely missed. I remember Davy jumping around singing, and then running out of breath in the middle of the song. I remember Mickey doing Goin' Down, a song I still luv. I don't remember anything about Peter but I know he was there because Mike was the only one absent.

Does that leave us with just one Monkey?

I received my 10 LP box set of The Monkee's yesterday. It was purchased as a joint Valentines gift for me and Dee Dee.
We played the first album for fun.
The next day Peter Tork dies.
I am now afraid to play any records.

That’s too weird.

Long time Monkees fan. Played them tonight at the fencing club on our sound system. Closed out the evening with “For Pete’s Sake”.
Take *that* Wizard Glick!

TG and I both really liked Head back in the 80s. I think I watched it with him but not sure. Some great tunes there.
RE: RIP Peter Tork - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 02-25-2019
I also liked the movie.
RE: RIP Peter Tork - Drunk Monk - 02-25-2019
ED & I surely watched it together at some point. It’s an astonishing film.

I only saw Head maybe two years ago. Solid weirdness, great soundtrack, some subtle and not so subtle commentary on the whole industry that had groomed and monetized them -- if I recall correctly. A surprisingly strong movie.

Don't forget Head was written by Jack Nicholson.
