bunch chance coloured connect convention cult dots fans gives guy tv
I have never done Cult TV before, the convention was good. It gives the fans a chance to meet the celebrities. Connect with the guy that used to be a bunch of coloured dots on your TV screen.
enjoyed island shows solo
I've enjoyed Long Island a lot. There have always been shows here that I enjoyed doing with The Monkees, and solo shows in the 80's.
gave older second thinking
At that time, I never gave getting older a second thought. Now I am thinking twenty-years in advance. I have a twenty-year plan.

I got on with the Byrds much better. I was in Greenwich Village with Roger McGuinn, of The Byrds, we used to smoke and hang out.
disco-music heavy-metal pops
Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away.
together folds
The blues brings you back into the fold. The blues isn't about the blues, it's about we have all had the blues and we are all in this together.

Where there is clarity, there is no choice. And where there is choice, there is misery. But then, why should I speak, since I know nothing?

Shoe Suede Blues opened for the Monkees in the 1997 reunion tour for two shows. I went out in disguise when I played with Shoe Suede Blues.
vitamins-and-minerals aspirin pops
Pop music is aspirin and the blues are vitamins.
actors saws tvs
Only one of us would usually sing lead. Which most of the time was, Mickey or Dave. They thought it was perfectly a natural routine, because Mickey and Dave saw themselves as TV actors.
plot comedy threatening
The Monkees was a straight sitcom, we used the same plots that were on the other situation comedies at the time. So the music wasn't threatening, we weren't threatening.
knows courteous
I don't know about friends, but what time I spent with The Beatles they were very courteous to me.
gigs favourite solo
My most favourite gigs that ever happened were solo, before The Monkees ever happened.
tv-shows significant-things tvs
The most significant thing about the Monkees as a pop phenomenon is that we were the only TV show about young adults that did not feature a wiser, older person.
