...did you know at the height of their fame Jimi Hendrix was their opening act! That's right, he opened for them seven times. The last show he flipped off the audience and threw his guitar into the crowd because they kept screaming for the Monkees!

Wow i didnt know that.

 

[Sp8ctre]

Wow i didnt know that.

Blew my mind!

I do like the Monkeys song Stepping Stone. Has that Hippy Trippy 60s vibe to it.Maybe it was in the 60s hahahahahahaha.

 

[Sp8ctre]

Actually it happened after Hendrix played the Monterrey Pop Festival!

Well they certainly made a mark on the music -- regardless of how they were formed and all the rumors and stuff--
the music is catchy and good--

Boyce and Hart wrote most of the Monkees hits.

Boyce and Hart wrote most of the Monkees hits.

Boyce and Hart also wrote Sugar Sugar which was originally written for the Monkees, but the Monkees wanted to WRITE and PLAY their own material. Boyce and Hart just laughed at them and said anyone could record their song and it would be a hit, even cartoon characters.

Being the Jimi feak at I am, I did hear that. I read a few books about Jimi when I wad a teen. They played up that he was booed off the stage. The Monkees loved him, the the teenage girls waiting for the Monkees didn't. It was a genre clash..

I loved the Monkees TV show as a kid in the late 60's and I love it again as an old dude on cable reruns.
It's as stupid as it can be, but yet I'm still drawn to watch it.

There once was a Monkee named Chubbles.

There once was a Monkee named Chubbles
Who said he would only drink doubles
One day while out drinking
He got round to thinking
About Jackson's monkey named Bubbles.

OK, I know - but chimp wouldn't scan

Wow - who'd a thunk...
I watched the Monkee's on TV when I was a kid.

 

[Chubbles]

Guys, stop monkeeing around!

 

[CabanaBoy]

I guess we'd better quit the monkee business...

Years ago there was some nut case that was killing college girls if Florida. The radio station I was listening to was keeping track of his execution and when his execution was being carried out they play Shock The Monkey.
