In the early 60s, Peter Tork was a Greenwich Village folkie before making the leap into psychedelic poppers, The Monkees. He's the one with the best haircut. He's been seen in Shoe Suede Blues since then and now, a signed...

Been listening to my iPod while beading tonight. I was reminded by a post on Absolute Write a while back that there were some pretty good Monkees songs, back in the day. So I downloaded a couple of their albums from iTunes. Now, I didn't see the Monkees when they were first on in the US, we either didn't get the channel (pre-cable days, folks and we were pretty far from LA so the antenna...

Sure, it's cool to talk about Brian Wilson and Revolver, but 41 years down the road, the tres uncool Monkees' songs still stand up as pop gems. At least the ones until the band got the crazy idea it should write and record its own songs. Yeah, get over it. "Daydream Believer," which first aired in 1967 on the admittedly outlandish and commercialized television program that was the vehicle for...

"Consider yourself...a friend!" Blame Lionel Bart but rather than take Oliver Twist as a piece of work that calls the public's attentions to various social evils, the happy-go-lucky adventures of a gang of pre-teen pickpockets has more of a sense of fun about it than it really ought to. A fitting place for the likes of Davy Jones (The Monkees) and Phil Collins to don their first...

Should the Monkees be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum? Certainly the argument that they began life as a solely commercial construct is a valid one, but then again, shouldn’t the Rock Hall at least recognize them for that alone, since they were trailblazers in the way rock music was [...]

... But people have different tastes, I guess. There was a music group back then called the Monkees. They were also known as the Pre-Fab Four. I understand that nickname was a takeoff on the name Fab Four, which is what the fan magazines called a British group whose name was the Beatles. That guy John Lennon that has a song on the new Body of War soundtrack was in that group back in the day....

Oh, those crazy Monkees. They might have been the pre-Fab Four, but we couldn't love them any more.

Maybe it was the big brown eyes, the shy kid's smile or the diminutive stature (5-foot-3 and 100 pounds), but Davy Jones was always arguably the first among equals in The Monkees - certainly as far as making young girls' heart flutter.

... but eventually found my own voice. Until you have your own voice, you're just a parrot like the Monkees copying the Beatles. we remember Davy Jones and Peter Tork but not even remotely as reverently as John, Paul, Ringo and George. So, I developed my own style. I'm no Beatles, more like a Grateful Dead that kind of goes off the rails and then somehow pulls back...

... evil boy band composed entirely of cuddly robots. The ultimate irony? The movie's theme is sung by Davy Jones, whose vocals for The Monkees in the 1960s make him one of the original boy band singers. Click here to hear Davy Jones' theme song for "Sexina: Popstar PI." " Sexina is a very campy film, and Davy's track blends well with the tone," according to...

John Stewart has died at 68. The singer-songwriter was best known for his song “Daydream Believer,” which was a big hit for The Monkees, but he put out 45 albums of his own after leaving The Kingston Trio, the popular folk group he joined in 1961. The Kingston Trio (Stewart on right) I was reading just the [...]
