Quite like this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA0ZmOijhw4&feature=related

Oo Bops posting of Quincy Jones' "Love And Peace" on another thread today reminded me (the title did) of this great song.

Was a manufactured band ever as good?

RIP Davy, you'll get to play tambourine with the big band in the sky now.

Hendrix called them "dish water"...

But come on, they're more fun than listening to all this "serious" Woodstock hippy rock...

At least "Stepping Stone" is a solid punk rocker, and even Afrika Bambaata couldn't resist the catchy drum break on "Mary Mary"....

It may well have been Beatnik who first came out with the statement: Never trust a man who doesn't like Elvis.

Rock and pop had something once: a vitality and vibrancy.

When I was 10 years old, me and the other divs quite enjoyed the reruns of The Monkees. Some of us even liked Fame the series.....okay, I know we should have been attending Northern Soul all-nighters, but our parents were not that enlightened and I had a 9PM curfew. The current Monkees equivalent, I guess is Glee, I haven't seen Glee, so I can't compare. I wager The Monkees is a better series though.

I would also add, the modern day minstrel show of gangsta' rap is more detrimental and twisted effect on young fragile minds, in a more vicious and sinister way than the lyrics and guitar riff of 'Last Train To Clarksville'.

Well said.

I think this guy explains rather well the torture that the Monkees represented for those of us who had to endure them.

"The Monkees - people in the appropriate age brackets - was it just TV pollution?
when you only had 3 channels on TV, did you groan as much as me when it came on TV? I never got 1 second of entertainment from that lousy TV show. It left me reaching form my Rubiks cube to see if I could solve it in under 30 minutes.

I think people should remember that at one time if rubbish like the Monkees came on, you might switch channels and find that there was nothing on the other channel. BBC2 would have a test card at that time, or a bloke in a beard talking about topological manifolds on Open University.

Are you like me and feeling no mourning for the loss of Davy Jones?

I send my condolences his friends and family of course."

Must do. In my world a 'div' or 'divvy' refers to someone who is just a bit stupid. To me it's no more harsh than calling someone 'daft'.

What does it mean to you?
