Stinks. The Monkees reruns were a staple of my youth.

I had a dream about him once, when I was about 12. We bonded over our bushy eyebrows.

Wow. The Monkees were the first concert I ever went to. Sixty-six really isn't that old.

Yup, every afternoon on Channel 46 at 3:30pm, I'd come home from school and watch a Monkees rerun.

Today sucks.

I watched and loved the first run episodes.

This news has made me very sad.


RIP Davy, and Godspeed.

When the Monkees were on in prime time, my dad considered their program a hippie show, so I'd have to watch them secretly. No remote for the TV, so I'd sit next to the set with my hand on the dial, then pretend to be looking for something to watch when he walked in.

By the time they were on Saturday mornings, he was desensitized to the long hairs to the point that I could watch the Monkees without fear.

From "The Monkee's Paw":

Micky: Are you the High Lama?
Mike: No, he's out back sleeping it off. I'm the Regular Lama.

"Daddy's Song" from Head. Written by Harry Nilsson. That's Toni Basil as his dancing partner. Watch for Frank Zappa at the end.

I learned about Davy Jones first on Brady Bunch. Then on Monkees reruns.

Love this song, and the film Head. When I first learned that it was Toni Basil, I did some quick math and was simultaneously creeped out/turned on by a woman in her late 30s wearing a cheerleader's outfit in the video for "Mickey."
