RIP Davy Jones

So sad...one of my childhood crushes is gone...I loved the Monkees when I was younger...and Davy was my favorite! He died from a heart attack at 66.

This is how I first heard of him.

I have a hard time believing it.

Very sad. I didn't know who the Monkees were until about 1987, when they (and the Beatles) were suddenly really popular again, at least in my high school.

I do remember reading, a very long time ago, in a book about the making of the original Star Trek, that Gene Roddenberry specifically wanted the character, Ensign Chekov, to look like "a Monkee." I'm thinking now that Davy Jones was the one he had in mind

sad news indeed, Sad1
They made the kind of music that always managed to put a smile on my face. Even today I can't listen to a Monkees track without grinning! Don't find talent like that these days, Sad2 rip

It was the same for us! The sixties was "back in style" for a while and I loved all of the music. I went through a "Monkees" phase and a "Beatles" phase. I used to know every lyric and everything there was to know about them. For a long time, (I guess to promote their tour in 87) they had the "Monkees" show on TV. That's what got me hooked. I went to the reunion concert, too.

I remember them from the 70's. A station out here used to have them on in the afternoons along with the Brady Bunch.

Never got to any of the reunion concerts. I had a car, but my parents would freak at the thought of me driving into the Bay Area proper for a concert. (I pushed Napa without their permission, but not much farther; they'd have taken my keys in a heartbeat and I loved my car too much for that).

My husband called and told me about it.

I vaguely remember watching the show, probably in reruns. I think my older sister had the hots for one of them.

I, too, though Chekov was a Davy Jones lookalike, so Gene was effective in his attempt.

I have a Monkees DVD and played it al the way home yesterday.

I often think there's sort of a "20-year-rule" whereby things are repopularized by nostalgia and/or rediscovered by a new generation ~every couple decades.

Trying to recall what was going on in 1992...
