It was so much fun to do, play the blues and then play a Monkees' set on the same night.

The Monkees were never cancelled for a start. NBC wanted to do a third year.

My most favourite gigs that ever happened were solo, before The Monkees ever happened.

We've all had our thing. I listened to the Monkees when I was little kid.

During the summer, Screen Gems launched the New Monkees, which miserably failed I understand. I never saw it.

The Monkees was a straight sitcom, we used the same plots that were on the other situation comedies at the time. So the music wasn't threatening, we weren't threatening.

Goodbye Davy Jones

Goodbye Davy Jones
Your music fills our memories
They are the soundtracks of our lives
Thank you so much for giving these.

Our high school days come back in song
The laughter, stockings, Twiggy looks-
It seems it has not been that long
When we hid your photo in our books.

Those days were filled so much laughter
Mop-head hair and bobby socks
Guitar in hand, sang 'I'm A Believer'
And with your music, did we rock!

Rest in peace, as we bid goodbye
Your songs will always have a part
In this our life, though now we cry
We love you, Davy - from the heart!

Memories and Dirty Knees

A straight-backed bike
Bone-shaker, with a broken chain
Sunday p.m. at the Rabbi's home
For Hebrew hour, just down the lane
Buried deep under the twisting vowels
Waiting quite patiently to see
The Monkees singing on TV

Loud boys invade the bus from school
After class with 'Fish' and 'Ning'
Rugby games, warm winter showers
Wearing short pants and dirty knees
Latin midweek, on Saturdays
Futile dallying with Greek

England from her goddesses estranged
Rude, she begs to be refined
I study her peculiar ways, as if
Infatuated by a witch
Who draws strong circles, cleans the spring

Even monkees fall from trees.

Power And Glory

Christopher Columbus discovered America
Found he had a cornucopia
Gave love to the indians, they gave it back
A pow woo in the teepee is where it's at
I want to dance with you
The indian fought with his arrow and bow
Till General Custer lost to Sitting Bull
Scalped all day and scalped all night
Give me fire water, gonna buy me a wife
I want to dance with you
When your people first moved to our block
Our ancestors met with culture shock
Two different monkees from two different trees
Come on let's stop our fightin' and come dance with me
I want to dance with you
