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.
america vegas credit
Elvis deserves a lot of credit for bringing the blues to middle America, not the Vegas stuff. The early stuff, The Sun records, and the first few RCA records. He was wonderful, he had the power, the drive, and he was so dedicated to his music.
gigs favourite solo
My most favourite gigs that ever happened were solo, before The Monkees ever happened.
knows courteous
I don't know about friends, but what time I spent with The Beatles they were very courteous to me.
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.
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.
enjoy shows
There hasn't been one show that we did, that I didn't enjoy to some extent.
shoes two reunion
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.
choices misery clarity
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?
vitamins-and-minerals aspirin pops
Pop music is aspirin and the blues are vitamins.
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.
disco-music heavy-metal pops
Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away.
We did very little improvisation on camera, and once in a while we did.
I did as well as I knew how and have nothing to be ashamed of.
