Mr Peter Tork - you made me laugh during THE MONKEES show and I am sure you are that type of person...I just want to say THANK YOU ! for making a part of my life funny and enjoyable.
I've loved this man since I was 7 or 8 yrs old. He was my favorite Monkee. I ended up becoming a professional musician myself, and looking back, their music really inspired me, just the mix of styles, from pop to country rock to jazz. Despite being portrayed as the dumb one, he is the smartest. Peter Tork is one of the guys I'd love to play with, just once.
Ah, 2007, he was battling cancer at that time. His doctors gave him a clean bill of health in 2009, so he was still in the middle of that fight. Glad to see he kept his wicked sense of humor.
Thankyou Peter! Great questions too. Especially what you had to say about it being a real reward doing what you love doing with a few people along the way that are touched. Loved The Monkees music and tv show; always made me smile.
Wow. What a great interview - and what an amazing guy with fascinating insight into life. I agree with stychnthyme - want a great conversation Peter Tork would be.
Wow what an honest man & Iam a Monkees Fan he is REAL!!! I was born in 1966 and Im old enough to be his daughter, but what a great interview & my heart & thoughts to him on Davy's passing!!!!
It pleases me greatly to hear that Peter now has so much money that he can actually keep multiple houses in different parts of the world, because it wasn't that long ago that friends in New York were telling me that Peter was almost homeless! I knew about him getting the old family home in Conn., which if I remember correctly he inherited.
@ 6.36 If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I was hoping Peter could return to earth as my old man, but has he ever done anything so bad as to go that far down the karma scale, lol.
I looked up to him as a kid. I'm only 20 now. And now as an adult, I admire him truly. His intelligence, optimism, dedication and jubilance is so thoroughly communicated just through his speaking. I love this guy.
Awsome musician,awsome man!!! I still have my autograph of Mr. Tork from 1996..That was round the time of the Justus CD !!! The Monkees performed in Cleveland,Ohio...They really rocked!!! Very entertaining show!!! I grew up watching the Monkees since 1970/71-re-runs as a child and have bee a fan sence..I wonder if Mr. Tork liked the New Monkees that came out in 1987!!?? 've always wondered about that. Rock on Mr. Tork!!
Peter always just seems like such a nice guy. Loved the Monkees and loved seeing this video. He's going to be at the Chicago Wizard World Comic Con and I'm so looking forward to meeting him. :)
Great seeing him here. He looks great! He's so interesting to listen to also. He speaks very well and says some cool things. I miss seeing his Blues band. Used to go see them lots. Have gotten many hugs from Peter, which I'll always cherish. Kind man. Incidentally, I remember he hates to be called Pete. Cute Peter was always my fav. Monkee.
Thank you for the music! Next time you are near Beacon look me up! I am on the other side of the river! (WPNT) We can jam! I do not post many originals here! But you should use your name - And speaking names, the name of names ! Best luck with everything! You are not alone - you know who I am talking about!!! God Bless!
A very smart guy, with a lot of talent. I like his blues stuff, and he seems like a nice guy too. I think he should do some self helps tapes too, he has a flare for words, a kindness to him, and understands from experience how difficult life can be. Best of luck Pete.

I saw Peter and his band Shoe Suede Blues perform a few days ago and they were fantastic. Peter is a very sweet guy. He took time to sign autographs and talk to everyone. It was a very special night.
This interview is special because he recognizes his shortcomings, knows his desires and basic needs and has found who he is - which is something most people have never taken the time to do. That and he has allowed his positive energy to flow and is happy with who he is.
What an absolute delight to see Peter Tork after all these years! Wise and gentle and refreshing, there is still a youthful and buoyant magic to him. In fact, he's better than ever.
@GimmeKitty you know what,you don't need to know my name or anything. Snoopybaby98 was defending me so you can just go away know. Leave me and my friend alone
