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.

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.

Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away.

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?

Pop music is aspirin and the blues are vitamins.

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.

My most favourite gigs that ever happened were solo, before The Monkees ever happened.

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.

One thing I can't stand is late kidnappers.
guy world four
Ringo is one of the world's true humans. The only one out those four guys, who did not have an agenda. Ringo was just into the music.
stars firefighter want
No, in 1968 I still wanted to be a Pop Star, and be about the music. Now, I want to be just about the music.
morning night sick
The four of us couldn't have made a record with the time left over when we were shooting the show. We were on stage from 7.30 in the morning 'til 7 at night. Later on, when there was a break from filming, and we were sick of doing it the old way.
