Nicely done Lyocotha! No doubt where did you find these pics? I remember watching the Monkees when I was a kid and still love their music! Thanks again.
@CanadaAstro The original title was "Last Train To Clarksdale" (in Arizona). But, Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart changed it to "...Clarksville." I think they made up that place...plus, it sounded more catchy than the original title.
What a lot of people don't relize is that this song is about a soldier going to war, it's an anti-war song...And people thought they wern't very political.
Thank you so much for posting this WITHOUT ANY ADS! You rule. :) I love this song.
