@KevServo Indeed they were! Micky Dolenz likes to share that John Lennon used to call him "Monkee Man" and that he felt The Monkees show was more like The Marx Brothers meets a bunch of young guys trying to be a big group LIKE The Beatles. Wish more people knew that. All the guys seemed to get on quite nicely.
@KevServo Yep, this is true. John Lennon even went to far as to compare it to the Marx Brothers. Say what you will about the "Pre-Fab Four," their songwriters were Hollywood's best: Goffin/King, Boyce/Hart and Neil Diamond...
@HerrEllsworth It is so sad that Davy Jones never got to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Hopefully, the Monkees will still get in. They were a fantastic band.
@Aeolis7 The possibility still exists but the four of them will never be there to accept the honor. It would have been the perfect signature to the Monkees' legacy to have them inducted into the Hall of Fame by which they met every criteria. Sadly, this won't happen as long as that jackass at Rolling Stone magazine has anything to say about it.
Way to go Paul. Now this is class

I was a big fan of The Monkees, too. I still do "That Walk" from the show, now and then. Ha!

Maybe with Paul's recommendation, the Monkees can FINALLY get into the Rock Hall of Fame. They've been waiting long enough.

@HerrEllsworth And considering what happened today, I hope Wenner and Landau feel like sh*t.

Excellent. I sing it myself. One guy, on his own, singing, "WE'RE the Monkees!" But who cares, it's a great song!
