Who didn't do this with their friends?

RIP Monchhichi

I too, wish to compliment sub on the headline!

...and I too, had to put up with my sisters and their friends who were absolutely apeshiat over Davy Jones, Tommy Roe and Bobby Sherman!

FirstNationalBastard: 2 grams: They didn't play thier own instruments, you know.


/just sayin

Nor did the Beach Boys, or pretty much any famous American group before the late-1960s.

/note that I said "American", so don't give me shiat about how the Beatles and Rolling Stones played all their own stuff.

Not even Buddy Holly and the Crickets?

Crystal Girl: AiryAnne: I saw them back in 1986 or 1987. "Weird Al" opened.

I also saw a show from that tour. I had several people in college argue with me that I must have been remembering it wrong.

I too saw a show from that tour, at Six Flags Astroworld. I still have the program somewhere.

CSB - during their resurgence in '86/'87, I couldn't get enough of their music and tv show. My parents suggested I write a letter, which I did, as best as any 6-year old could do at the time. I don't remember how much time passed, but one day I came home to find an envelope addressed to me. Inside was an autographed picture of Davy, Micky, and Peter, with a note that read, "Dear gao81, thanks for the support!" I remember being in shock. Recently, my parents told me that before mailing my letter, my Dad had included a note of his own, telling them how much of a fan I was, etc.... I still have the picture too.

Here's today's worst joke ever...

"Where do you think they are going to bury him?"

"Uh, in the ground..."

Fun fact: When Don Kirschner lost creative control of the Monkees, he wanted to start up another pre-fab musical group, but this time without clashing with human egos. Solution: a cartoon group with no-name session musicians, hence:



Not exactly "no name",some of the best in the business (wiki link)

Me too! I got one from Peter Tork. I remember being really confused when it came, because I had no recollection of ever writing a letter. It wasn't until later that it occurred to me to suspect that my mother wrote it, since he was her favorite.

/have no idea what happened to that pic. GDISM.

Daydream Believer was always a favorite of mine.

He still looks good for 42.....

Interesting the split in 20-30 year olds between those who know 60's music and those who don't.

Only noticed it when my daughter got to 18 and told me a story about how her friends listened to a radio station which played an oldie about every 10 or 12 songs, and she would be happily singing along to Surfin' USA and all her mates looking at her going "What? How come you know words to that stuff?" and one of the others saying "I know how. Your dad used to play that on the car radio, didn't he?"

Which was right. And realized that whole generation of kids grew up listening to "The wheels of the bus go round and round" etc when they were in the car, whereas it never occurred to me that that was what you were supposed to entertain them with.

Instead I just listened to the stuff that I loved, and she got a vital education in important lessons. I mean think of lyrics like "and she'll have fun, fun, fun till her daddy takes the T-bird away" - far better than churchy sermons about telling me the truth

I also saw them on that tour (I was 9) and couldn't have been happier.

I'm sad now, though...
