Fun fact. 1958 was a great year for the entertainment world. Michael Jackson & Madonna were both born in August 1958. Prince was born in June 1958. Even the greatest dancer for Irish dancing, Michael Flatley, from Lord of the Dance was born in 1958. MJ stayed with Flatley at his castle before he died to get away from the media.
Probably the first group that got me hooked on music,didnt even like the Beatles when this came out...Wow! , the Monkees deserve more credit.. They were great!
@cmf4321 The internet being bad, lol. Sure if you focus on the negatives it looks bad. How about you look at the positives. It is a vast stream of nearly infinite knowledge. It creates a literal global community. It boosts our economy and is the reason why the united states is #1 in patents. Not to mention the advancing of computers have let the medical and scientific communities soar into a new golden age. The inteenet is not as bad as you say, and I cant believe you just compared porn to fraud
lol hahahahaha. i was reading the jimmie hendrix biography and appearantly these people were the coolest people ever.
their daily routine consisted of being arrogant and killing their braincells with psychedelics.
they would smoke extreme amounts of hash get up on stage, pretend like they knew how to play music... then then look at the audience and go "im gonna fuck THAT one"
I'm not from your generation. But you have no right to complain about ours. You're telling me that your era was great. It really seems lovely :). But it was your gen., & all the ones before who led to this moment. You have contributed to the "innovations˝ & "fucked up society." I'm NOT blaming anyone. But you say we no longer "talk to people daily," that we can't live without "internet, cells, & cable," BUT WE DO AND CAN. So please stop comparing, it's getting a bit repetitive.
@TheYellowLemonTree I have to agree with you that it was the creative minds of the baby boomers that are the source of most of the "innovations". However, most of our generation is horrified at what's going on today. I'm sure that Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, etc. never intended for the internet to be used in the evil ways it has. It was suppose to help people..not the opposite. And it seems to be younger people who create the viruses in computers...who does that help?
@cmf4321 You are so damn right! i'm always hearing those story's from my parents, and it's really frustrating to think about that good day's, and then look out the window and see those shitty wannabe gangster kids....
@poep1292 I hope you can find & have some special friendships where they are looking for the same things as you. You sound like a nice kid:-) They are out there if you look in the right places:-)
This takes me back to the days of my Jr. High, and the boy's wide belts with the big square buckles, and slot cars as well as go kart tracks, roller skating at the rinks, etc.
I cannot believe that this song was written by Neil Diamond. Just watched the bio of him and this was one of his first song writting attempts. Amazing song. Love him and the Monkees.
@NoNcOnFoRMiSt26 "To see the wonder, the beauty, the value and dignity of another human being is the Gospel, the Good news; it is also called Christianity." Pope John Paul II in 1978 in his first Encycical "Redemptio Hominis"! A retired Catholic priest in Canada. "Each person has a value, a dignity beyond compare." Again John Paul II in the same document. Thanks, and God has blessed you..."He has kept the Best Wine until now." See John, chapter 2, verse 10.
I had SO MUCH FUN growing up in an innocent era. We had NO pressure. No internet, cells, cable TV., etc. We just had innocent fun! Every kid was out the door playing in the early AM. Our parents didn't see us until the street lights came on. No one was overweight because we kept ourselves entertained outside all day w/ our friends. We didn't lock our doors. No fears. The disco era was a BLAST in the 70's. Everything started to change & today's kids will never know what they missed. Long gone:-(
@cmf4321 Amen to that. And if there was a fight the worst that would happen is you lost that friendship for a while. You didn't have to worry about someone running home to return with a gun. Those were the days!!!!
@jimboski65 Amen to that! We didn't have to worry about bullying, violence, safety...just the loss of a friendship. I miss the innocence of those times. We were such sweet kids. Today's kids are a different breed. What they wear to school, wearing make-up, worrying about things that we could have cared less. We just wanted to have fun!! And did we ever!! BTW, I was born in the same year as Michael Jackson, Prince & Madonna (1958)...and you?
@cmf4321 I came along 7 years later (1965) but we're from the same generation/era. Amen to today's kids being a different breed. We may not have liked our teachers but we respected them and their authority. Now teachers have to worry about poison-spiked coffee, vandalized cars, getting beat up or worse, But some of the decay is the responsibility of teachers. Our teachers never tried to sleep with us!!! Sobering and disturbing thought when I think of my middle school math teacher. LOL
@cmf4321 Have you ever wondered that because you guys got older and became the parents, today's kids will never experience that? I'm not criticizing, but just think about that.
@RoaChc0acH I appreciate what you're saying. Something can be exceptional times and others will never experience that joy. Ex: I'm Jewish. People ask me do I miss not having Christmas. I can't miss something I've never experienced. I guarantee, however, that the joy of Christmas is something that EVERYONE would never give up. It's probably the highlight of many people's lives yearly. The years I grew up were like the Christmas of 2-3 decades our generation would never give up:-)
@cmf4321 your major entertainmnt was lsd and you went to psychedelic basement conserts with oil sollution light shows insted of raves. i was born in the wrong era
@9Iamthewalrus Funny:-) However, what you are describing was in the 1960's. I didn't turn 10 until 1968...which I can assure you...I missed all the psychedelic drugs and Woodstock. There was alot going on in that decade...I grew up conservative...so I didn't miss much.
@cmf4321 I grew up in the 90's and early 2000, and I live in Sweden, me and my friends was always out playing, today no one is... It's sad to see. Well, what can you do?
@MrMathVideos Every medium is pushing outside the boundaries. Back then, we had limits & we were okay with it. TV w/o swearing & sex. No internet bullying & exposure to scams & porn,etc. Newscasts reporting just the news (it's 95% opinion & sensationalism), clean funny humor, movies that were great w/o the violence & sex, music that was catchy or easy to listen to w/o making it into a political statement or about discrimination. We just had innocent, fun times:-) We miss it.
@MrMathVideos BTW, if you want to see a big difference from the 1970's to today...watch how different comedic roasts are. Let me know what you think...watch Foster Brooks on Dean Martin roasts (roasting Don Rickles). Or watch his Foster "airline pilot" skit. Back then, comedians couldn't swear...so they had to be funny with great material. Not like today where swearing & crudeness compensates for poor material. Watch them both & let me know if you find it as funny as we did:-)
@ivans No, it's your generation that is changing the world. We were happy with ours:-)Our generation isn't pleased with what is happening to our country...on every level. All of the innocence gone. We were happy without the internet, cell phones & cable. These "innovations" have actually helped our country decline. What's on TV today, people texting instead of talking on the phone (we actually TALKED to people daily), & info on the internet, like porn, harassment, etc..very unfortunate.
@zombie4flesh It is worse NOW then it was back then. Everyone is screaming discrimination even where none exists. Most of the country is SICK of hearing about discrimination. On TV...it's being rammed down our throats. People r abusing the justice system. TV turns EVERYTHING into discrimination & NOT the issue, like you did. YOU proved my point. YOU made it about segregation. Not 1 baby boomer here has even commented on it. Stop being so prejudiced. ..You ARE the problem, not us.
@xtremanater321 “i wish i lived back then, i hate nowadays”
LOL, why? Those of us who lived back then are now either old or soon to be old. Many of us are in wheel chairs or otherwise disabled. Not to mention most of us need dentures. By the time you get to our age, medical science will keep you young and healthy forever.
You have a lot of things we did not. So why would you want to have lived back then?
@xtremanater321 are you really so stupid that you think that just because you like music from this era that you'd like living in the 1960's? really, think hard about this. you have no idea what you are talking about
i really believe internet fucked things up bigtime. true, internet brought us many great things like youtube, but it also brought us severe addiction, although noone will ever acknowlodge this. before internet (before 2000)--> happy times after internet (after 2000) very fucked up society.
@GeileMickey I agree:-) It's sad how many negative things r created by the internet.
Cyberbullying, porn, identity theft, credit card fraud, internet scams, etc. Things that didn't happen when I grew up. I was talking to another baby boomer yesterday & we were laughing. We only had 4 TV channels & it was fine w/ us. Everyone was so busy that TV wasn't important. We didn't stay inside to watch TV or be on the internet. I only know 2 peers that are on Facebook. Most aren't interested.
@cmf4321 best comment ever. like seriously im only 11 years old and i really do realize that i missed all kinds of stuff. i like would rather be in the 60's than today. i would love to see ritchie valens perform La Bamba at a very cheap concert. i would love to see elvis Presley dance and sing up there. i would love to see this band perform. i wish i lived in the 50-70s. :-( You are so lucky!!!!!
@TheKingCameron You sound like a very sweet person. Like everyone I grew up with..:-) I hope you find friends as nice as you to hang out with. They are out there:-) I wish only good things for you:-)
@cmf4321 Look, I'm a lot younger than you (21, almost 22) and I disagree. Not necessarily about what you said, but you seem a little bitter about the fact that times have changed. You can only live in the past for so long. People and styles and kids will change over time, whether you like it or not. How do you think your parents felt about your generation? I'm sure they didn't like it either. Try to accept and embrace some of the great stuff we have nowadays.
@hebewster I'm not bitter..I'm sad for you guys. All of our generation is. All we had was fun. What you kids have to worry about..we didn't have a care in the world. Everything was simpler then. Many kids today wished they were born in our era. You couldn't pay me millions of dollars to give up the life I had when I grew up. We're all glad we weren't born in your generation. Ask any baby boomer. The great stuff?? I can't think of one. Sorry:-( However it is what it is..
@Gaiacarra Apparently if you're talking about nuclear...you're not too clear on what years a baby boomer was born in. No terrorist attacks either...:-)
The Monkeys were awesome! even if they were an arranged Band, they finally took control of there song writing skills an their own way of handling there group!!
@TREVMAC44 You realize that the voices you hear are of them and that their music is as much theirs per se, as most music that ends up being pump through the studio recording session is of any artist, right?
But hey, perhaps someone will actually one day pay you to perform...doubtful, but you can dream.
@TiminPhoenix Actually you fuck nut, this "band" was made for T.V. purposes. They broke up because the really tall one in the "band" didn't wanna be apart of something fake and meaningless.
@TREVMAC44 You are beyond facts. As a total loser, the only thing you can do is whine like the little bitch that you are. You show your command of the subject with the comment of the ages... "The really tall one..." That was was priceless, you limpdick.
@monkey42299 Yes. The Beatles started the long hair and everybody followed their example. At least in Europe where we never even heard of Monkees. At least not back in the Sixties.
none of them are "playing" anything, they were a show band. they didnt write their music, sing their own songs or play any instruments (lol well maybe the tambourine)
@bretty1887 Please stop providing misinformation, you know nothing about The Monkees. At this time (1966) they weren't playing (except some guitar from Nesmith on his self penned songs), but they always did the vocals. By the time their 3rd album "Headquarters" came out, they were in complete creative control (having dumped producer Don Kirshner), writing, arranging, playing and choosing their own material. By 1967 they were as legitimate as any band, either currently, or of the era.
I loved the Monkees when I was in junior high school but in high school I moved on to the Doors, Country Joe and the Fish and Janis Joplin, I was ashamed to admit that I even liked the Monkees. Later on, I encountered Davy Jones on several occasions and he, on each occasion, was a truly good person! I have only good things to say about him! Anybody who wants to question me about it feel free to contact me. I doubt there are many still alive who are interested.
they couldn't play but they could sing pretty good

@zombie4flesh It is worse NOW then it was back then. Everyone is screaming discrimination even where none exists. Most of the country is SICK of hearing about discrimination. On TV...it's being rammed down our throats. People r abusing the justice system. TV turns EVERYTHING into discrimination & NOT the issue, like you did. YOU proved my point. YOU made it about segregation. Not 1 baby boomer here has even commented on it. Stop being so prejudiced. ..You ARE the problem, not us.

@xtremanater321 “i wish i lived back then, i hate nowadays”
LOL, why? Those of us who lived back then are now either old or soon to be old. Many of us are in wheel chairs or otherwise disabled. Not to mention most of us need dentures. By the time you get to our age, medical science will keep you young and healthy forever.
You have a lot of things we did not. So why would you want to have lived back then?

i really believe internet fucked things up bigtime. true, internet brought us many great things like youtube, but it also brought us severe addiction, although noone will ever acknowlodge this. before internet (before 2000)--> happy times after internet (after 2000) very fucked up society.

@GeileMickey I agree:-) It's sad how many negative things r created by the internet.
Cyberbullying, porn, identity theft, credit card fraud, internet scams, etc. Things that didn't happen when I grew up. I was talking to another baby boomer yesterday & we were laughing. We only had 4 TV channels & it was fine w/ us. Everyone was so busy that TV wasn't important. We didn't stay inside to watch TV or be on the internet. I only know 2 peers that are on Facebook. Most aren't interested.

@cmf4321 best comment ever. like seriously im only 11 years old and i really do realize that i missed all kinds of stuff. i like would rather be in the 60's than today. i would love to see ritchie valens perform La Bamba at a very cheap concert. i would love to see elvis Presley dance and sing up there. i would love to see this band perform. i wish i lived in the 50-70s. :-( You are so lucky!!!!!

@cmf4321 Look, I'm a lot younger than you (21, almost 22) and I disagree. Not necessarily about what you said, but you seem a little bitter about the fact that times have changed. You can only live in the past for so long. People and styles and kids will change over time, whether you like it or not. How do you think your parents felt about your generation? I'm sure they didn't like it either. Try to accept and embrace some of the great stuff we have nowadays.

@hebewster I'm not bitter..I'm sad for you guys. All of our generation is. All we had was fun. What you kids have to worry about..we didn't have a care in the world. Everything was simpler then. Many kids today wished they were born in our era. You couldn't pay me millions of dollars to give up the life I had when I grew up. We're all glad we weren't born in your generation. Ask any baby boomer. The great stuff?? I can't think of one. Sorry:-( However it is what it is..

none of them are "playing" anything, they were a show band. they didnt write their music, sing their own songs or play any instruments (lol well maybe the tambourine)
bretty1887 1 week ago
@bretty1887 Please stop providing misinformation, you know nothing about The Monkees. At this time (1966) they weren't playing (except some guitar from Nesmith on his self penned songs), but they always did the vocals. By the time their 3rd album "Headquarters" came out, they were in complete creative control (having dumped producer Don Kirshner), writing, arranging, playing and choosing their own material. By 1967 they were as legitimate as any band, either currently, or of the era.

I loved the Monkees when I was in junior high school but in high school I moved on to the Doors, Country Joe and the Fish and Janis Joplin, I was ashamed to admit that I even liked the Monkees. Later on, I encountered Davy Jones on several occasions and he, on each occasion, was a truly good person! I have only good things to say about him! Anybody who wants to question me about it feel free to contact me. I doubt there are many still alive who are interested.
