“Request” is a magazine sent to customers with Replay cards which earn
points when they shop at Suncoast Video or Sam Goody Music Stores. The
May/June 2002 issue has an article “As Seen On TV” about classic TV shows
now available on DVD. One of the shows mentioned is “The Monkees” with a
photo of the guys and this article: “Modeled after the Beatles movie `A
Hard Day’s Night’ and originally designed as a commercial for its prefab
title group, `The Monkees’ became a bona fide hit. The adventures of
struggling ’60’s rock musicians Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork, and
Mike Nesmith–ranging from court-room capers to high-seas shenanigans-were=
inane but kooky fun. The show was a cynical marketing ploy designed to

of it was genuinely funny. Years later, the series became syndicated as
kids programming and was later revived by VH-1 for nostalic
adults. Original run: 19966-1968. Reason to watch: This was MTV before=
MTV existed.” The show isn’t yet out on DVD, so it’s interesting that it
was included in the article.

appearance on Fox 5 Good Day New York this morning.
fun 🙂 Davy wore a dark pinstriped suit and glasses, Micky was in a leather
jacket over a purplish tee shirt and jeans.
what gives them their staying power over 36 years, naming the recent remake
of I’m a Believer in Shrek and the inclusion of Porpoise Song in Vanilla
Sky as examples of their influence on pop culture. Davy’s explanation for
this was that the show had family appeal, and that the Monkees was probably
the last show that mom, dad, and the kids sat around and watched before
all these other distractions came in, like extra tv’s, computers, etc. He
also threw in the fact that there were great songwriters…Micky chimed
in, mentioning Purple Sky – then he corrected himself ooops! Vanilla Sky
– had Porpoise Song written by Carole King, then they rattled off a few
of their songwriters, etc.
Davy threw in a bit about Micky having to sing Hey Hey We’re the Monkees
in all these different languages. Micky said he remembered them all, and
Davy dared him to try one. So, they got Micky a guitar and the entertainmen=
t
began! Micky strummed his guitar and sang the theme song in French and then
Spanish. Then he said let’s try a little a Mike Nesmith tune, and they sang
a few bars of “Papa Gene’s Blues?” They goofed off at the end,
and Micky stepped all over the plug that AJ was reading for BB King’s and
Westbury Music Fair. They closed out the show with a little bit of a
countrified
version of I’m a Believer and in the middle of it, Davy said “now everybody
skate backwards!”
thanks to you and Maggie for getting the particulars of their tv and radio
appearnaces out to us 🙂

Both events were far superior to the Wembley

start, for the most part seemed pretty shambolic.

opportunities. Most groups would make the most of the
chance to play to a massive crowd at a big venue.
Murmurs Of Irma just played turgid, empty sixties
pastiche songs that limped along in a non-committal
fashion. The lead singer wore a ludicrous pair of
trousers that had been badly cut and did not give the
desired effect, whether it was socks down there or not.
There was nothing interesting there to look at or
listen to. The audience were pretty kind to them I
reckon. Obscurity beckons for that lot.
should be “Stars Of The Monkees”. Even Dolenz, Jones,
Boyce and Hart were better value than this weedy
moneyspinner. The band played some kind of
instrumental medley, which would have been okay for a
couple of minutes, but they dragged it out for ages,
played virtually every Monkees tune known to the
world, and killed any anticipation.
their leather garb. Mickey came across best over the
course of the evening, turning in a good rendition of
“Alternate Title” and some nifty drumming on “Mary
Mary”. But the good bits were few and far between.
After about twenty minutes, the show just drifted
towards dullness. Davy relied too much on his
theatrical smile and cutesy banter. His introduction
to “I Wanna Be Free” just seemed to drag on
interminably, you wanted to shout “get on with it!”
went on, they got more and more Eighties sounding. The
lead guitarist was a frustrated Van Halen style heavy
metal axe-man, who got more and more self indulgent as
the show progressed, rushing to the front of the stage
to do an over the top widdly-widdly solo for every
number, encouraged by Jones and Dolenz, whose musical
quality radar seemd to have been firmly shut down with
the departure of much-missed Tork. It was more like an
Eighties revival than a Sixties revival.
Jazz-Blues type number, which sadly didn’t test his
(still strong) voice. You could have fallen asleep to
this lame contribution. For Davy it was a sickly
self-composed soft-rock ballad, firmly rooted in the
late Eighties, with an overpowering Michael Bolton
style saxophone solo. What happened to the Oliver
numbers? I was looking forward to those.
Their having been members of the band seems to have
been erased from history. Sadly without their strong
musical influence the performance lacked balance and
veered in to the abyss of dodgy showbiz.
