WOW! RIP.

 

You beat Rob with that post. He usually does the obits.

 

Listening to their music as I type....

For some reason always like them!

 

I loved watching "The Monkees"! I was around 10 when the show was on.

Mickey Dolenz (the drummer) used to go to the Samoa House, a restaurant my family went out to once in a great while. He would get drunk and swear. I told him once. I just looked him up on Wikipedia and found out we graduated from the same high school, although he was out 13 years before me.

 

O dear. There'll be no cheering up sleepy Jean. Seems like he lived well right up to the end.

 

My shaving razors cold,
And it stings.

I love that line, and most of the other lines from their songs. Good, fun music.

Davy Jones, rest in peace.

 

"When I first read that Davy Jones had died, I thought that it couldn't be the Monkee, but someone who shared the same name. When the article finished loading, I saw his face. Now I'm a bereaver."

 

SSSSSSS

 

My first thought of when I heard the news was not a song, it was a photo of the Monkey's in an MGA.
