It's totally erroneous to assume Barry did all the demos alone as that assumes Barry wrote all of the songs and that Robin and/or Maurice added very little or nothing to the songs. Maybe on certain songs, yes, he recorded alone but there are demos where all of the brothers were on the song. There...

@UpRoaryus There is still some scorn towards the Monkees from certain quarters, including the Jann Wenner bloc that keeps the Monkees from being nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For most, the idea of them not playing is all water under the bridge since time has shown they were hardly...

That is Bernie Leadon, along with Chris Darrow, John London and John Ware. London and Ware were rehearsing with Michael Nesmith about the time of this film clip as part of the First National Band. Nesmith had produced a single on Ware, London and Darrow, I believe, which featured Linda on backing...

No, the correct title was shown as "I've Got to Know" on the 45 single ("Different Drum" on the A-side) and on the original "Evergreen, Vol. 2" album. But the song is sometimes listed by the alternate title of "I'd Like to Know" and was listed that way on the back cover of "Evergreen Vol. 2," al...

One of the skin magazines in the late 70s offered Linda three million to dollars to pose for their magazine. She turned them down.

Other guitarists who were in the band from the early to late ...

One of the saddest songs I've ever heard, as sad as First Of May. I sometimes wonder if there was some truth behind the song? I know a lot of songwriters say their songs aren't about anything in their personal lives, but this one just seems a little too real.

The VLV film clip for this song almost - almost - made it into the third installment of MGM's "That's Entertainment," circa 1985. It was said by the few movie executives who saw it that the reason the song was excised from VLV was that it was a little too steamy for 1964 standards. I can't guess ...

Gorgeous song from a gorgeous lady which should've been a huge Top 40 hit! But, if memory serves, wasn't the single only released on a local label, or a label which may have had regional distribution but not national distribution? Either of which would've impacted the number of sales. The public ...
