I seem to recall that originally everyone found Davey as the hearthrob. But then there was like a monkeys reuniting many years later on TV and all the girls were going crazy for Mickey. Pretty cool. I love all the monkeys. They're great. What the heck happened to mike in this interview. I heard his mom invented whiteout. Course that might just have been an 80's urban legend. :)
@mikeknight4u Yes Nesmith's mother invented Liquid Paper, and I've heard Nesmith was never happy being a Monkee, (though I'm sure he enjoyed the royalties) so he probably was not often seen in interviews and reunions etc.
They are pretty much doing this at the time - for the money!!!!! Michael Nesmith didn;t need it as his mother invented "White Out" and started that company in Texas!!!!!
@Lotmeister LOL! Sorry, didn't mean to laugh at your comment, but I could just "hear" the tone of your voice. I would have killed my brother (hahaha). I have it on VHS still to this day. Also I have the Monkees when they were on Sally Jesse Rafael. If I was a computer gu-ru, I'd like to put it on YouTube for all the Monkees fans to watch.
So wonderful to see the actors and musicians/instrumentalists that you grew up with. To see these guys still alive, healthy and still involved with each other is so remarkable. Love The Monkeys.
Bubble headed bleach blond on the local TV news. Wonder if Don Henley wrote that song about her? Anyway when I was younger, I was a Davey fan. Then I got older and realized Mickey was my man!
the Henley tune is about Christine Lund , newscaster on Los Angeles tv channel KABC. She reported , in depth, about a teenage hooker who od'd on coke at Henley's house and had to be rushed by ambulance to a hospital.
Yes, I remember hearing that the "bubble headed bleach blonde from the local TV news" was Christine Lund. Heard it from my my dad, as I was awful young at the time. Dad also said she had no hips, no curves, like a boy. My dad worked on Family Feud w/ Richard Dawson at the time. He kept the answer board running. He used to brag that he got to park in John Travolta's parking spot, as they had opposite hours.
Oh please, Peter must have been the best instrumentalist. He was always the bright one, and that's why he played the "dummy", much in the same way that Tom Smothers played so, off of Dick Smothers. I think the fact that the 3 here agree with Davy on that fact renders what you believe in opposition somewhat flat. PS: How frickin old are you guys saying this lady is "hot!" ? Seriously, you must be in your 70s...
@theScytheofGod Actually, Peter Tork was the most talented of their instrumentalists. He could play more instruments than the other three combined by a long shot.
Joan Lunden was a cub reporter at WABC TV looking like a bleach blonde dumb blonde around '76. When her book came out she never had a single photo of herself from back then.
I think it's true to say that the 80s was probably the best generation for The Monkees, at least in my own eyes. The guys have seemed to accept who they are and are not trying to prove anything, so in a sense, they are very relaxed and that made the concerts and interviews like this one so incredible.
No, instrumentally (very strategic word!) Peter probably was the best musician. He could play a bunch of instruments and play them well. He hung out with Stephen Stills and that whole crowd long before the Monkees. Mike was definetly the best songwriter, but he couldnt teach Peter anything instrumentally.
Davy really spoke out of line when he said that Peter was the best musician as far as he was concerned-that's nowhere near true because to Micky's way of thinking and to everyone's who felt like him and still feel, Mike was the best of the four and Peter learned his experience from Mike-so, really Mike was the best and Peter was the second best

This Video reminds me of Rev Nora (Noralou) and that Molly Divoon, who are big fat members of MONKEELAND, who don't have lives, apart from fantasizing about hooking up with Micky Dolenz, because ... what? Their Unions are so down the Tubes? These Ladies (?) TRACKED down Micky Dolenz. Then, they plotted to go up to Santa Barbara, to meet him and then HANG OUT at the production's stage door. But wait, it gets far worse -- These women are SICK !
Actually ... This reminds of all the FAT Housewives, with kids, who are members of MONKEELAND.
I am not sure why, but ... this video just makes me think of all the women, stuck in No-Where's Ville who don't have lives, apart from their fantasising about meeting and mating with The Monkees ... It's sad, really ...
That's not a very nice thing to say about my fellow Monkeelanders. I'm a member there, and I do have a life, I go out and have a good time and spend time with people I care about.
I want that on DVD! I have this on an old tape but with no way to burn this to DVD... Thanks so much for sharing... I met Micky and Peter in 2001 and are the sweetest people in the world... Can't say the same for Dave though.... I would love to have this on DVD...
