Spencer Gifts, which was carrying a line of exclusive Monkees merchandise
before Christmas, has marked TWO of the items down to half-price as of
December 26—the Monkees pajamas and the Monkees robe. Even if the
merchandise is not labeled as half-price, the deduction has been programmed
into the cash registers chain-wide.
All other Monkees items at Spencers are still full price, except for the
blow-up chair which is and has been $10 off the marked price.

Hey all
I saw Mike and Davy’s Birthday’s in the USA Today yesterday (12/30) in
the LIFE section. It says that Davy turned 52…but they made a mistake.
He turns 53. And it said Mike turned 56. Just a fun tidbit of info for
y’all!

This week I spotted a White Honda Accord with the license plate
“Monkees”. The car was in Northern Virginia (Fairfax, to be exact).
Even though there are an overabundance of vanity plates in this area, I
thought it was great!
Thanks for the exposure!

In the December 28/January 4 issue of Newsweek there is a section of the
best cartoons of the past year. On page 111 there is a cartoon of a guy
brushing his teeth while his wife is videotaping the event. The caption
reads: “YES, I mind if you put this on the Internet!”. The man is dressed
in polka dot boxer shorts and a t-shirt that says “Monkees Reunion Tour
1983″.

Subject: M. Nesmith in Daily Telegraph 4 Jan 1999
The following article is part of a feature taken from todays Daily Telegraph
newspaper in England and features a contribution from Michael Nesmith
WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INVENTION IN THE PAST TWO THOUSAND YEARS?
Introduction by
John Brockman
A year ago I emailed the participants of The Third Culture Mail List for
help with a project which was published on EDGE as “The World Question
Center.” I asked them: “what questions are you asking yourself?”.
The World Question Center was published on December 30th. On the same day
The New York Times ran an article “In an Online Salon, Scientists Sit Back
and Ponder” which featured a selection of the questions. Other press
coverage can be found in EDGE In The News.
The project was interesting, worthwhile….and fun.
.
This year, beginning on Thanksgiving Day, I polled the list on (a) “What Is
The Most Important Invention In The Past Two Thousand Years?” … and (b)
“Why?”.
I am pleased to publish below* the more than one hundred responses in order
of receipt. I expect many more entries and, in the spirit of The Reality
Club, robust discussion and challenges among the contributors. There will
also be an open public discussion of this question at FEED Magazine.
Happy New Year!!
JB
p.s. I get the last word.

“The Power of Big Ideas”
By Sharon Begley
Was the light bulb more important than the pill? An online gathering of
scientists nominates the most important inventions of the past 2,000 years.
Some of their choices might surprise you.

“The Nominees for Best Invention Of the Last Two Millennia Are . . .”
By David Bank
Staff Reporter ofThe Wall Street Journal
John Brockman is the premier literary agent of the digerati, so when he
asked 1,000 scientists and other techno-thinkers to suggest the most
important invention of the past 2,000 years, the responses sounded a lot
like proposals for yet another millennial book.
WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INVENTION IN THE PAST TWO THOUSAND YEARS?
Michael Nesmith:
After reading the various answers to the question, I’m going to sneak
through the door opened by Philip Anderson and nominate a discovery instead
of an invention. And it is the Copernican Theory. Generally it was a
counter-intuitive idea, and it ran opposite to the interpretation of senses
(not to mention the Church) I mean, one could “see” the sun going across the
sky. What could be more obvious than that? A nice move. It took a lot of
intellectual courage, and taught us more than just what it said.
MICHAEL NESMITH is an artist, writer, and business man; former cast member
of “The Monkees”.

Subject: Peter Tork’s “Shoe Suede Blues” Delivers Great Time in Santa Monica
My aunt cut out this article for me in some LA/Santa Monica newspaper,
but I’m not sure which, probably from sometime last week.
Peter Tork’s “Shoe Suede Blues” Delivers Great Time in Santa Monica
by Gary Davis
Peter Tork’s new blues ‘n’ oldies band, Shoe Suede Blues, played its
first of four Tuesday night gigs at Harvelle’s last week, and a great
time was had by all.
Tork, best known as a member of the 60’s band The Monkees, has put
together a great set of early rock ‘n’ roll standards and upbeat blues
numbers, which his talented band presents in a free-form,
improvisational manner.
I almost felt like I had walked in on a dress rehearsal last Tuesday
night at Harvelle’s. The crowd was sparse but attentive, and Tork,
dressed in a red shirt and black vest, sporting shoulder-length blond
hair and a short goatee, led his band through a delightful series of
old-time rock/R&B songs, including “Lucille,” “Mustang Sally,” and Baby,
It’s All Right.” There was no pre-determined set list, in fact, Tork
seemed to be teaching his bandmates some of the material as he went
along. This (possible) lack of preparation only added to the
spontaneity and higlighted the excellence of the musicians in keeping
up.
The upbeat set only occasionally slowed down to a Chicago Blues
style, and for these numbers, keyboard and harmonica player Tadd
Galleran took over vocal duties. Frankly, Tork is a better singer
and perhaps he too needs to learn to sing the blues. Other band
members includ Michael Sunday on bass, Stevie Gur on guitar, and Bruce
Logan, of the Uninvited, on drums. Tork and Gur trade off on the more
demanding guitar parts, allowing each to show his prowess as a blues
axe man.
The only Monkees song presented was “I’m Gonna Buy Me a Dog.” The
only new song was a neo-blues number penned by keyboardist Galleran
entitled “Even White Boys Get the Blues.” This “revisionist” blues tune
portrayed how even a Harvard educated suburban businessman can spend the
night in jail for drunk driving, and offered such other notable
situations as “When the American Express comes due, even White Boys get
the Blues.”
Between sets, Tork made himself very accessible, hanging out around
the bar. A small contingent of youngish, middle-age female fans
produced old (and new) Monkees picturebooks for him to autograph, and he
chatted amicably with fans and reporters. Las month, according to Tork,
his band did two benefit performances of this material, which were
better publicized and much better attended.
Harvelle’s fancies itself as the city’s premier blues establishment
(since 1931!), but the long, narrow room reminded me more of a converted
lunch counter (a dimmerd wash of white flourescent lighting didn’t
help). The small stage at the far end of the room is protected by a
short banister, which seemed as much to keep the musicians from falling
off as the dancers from falling on. A small tin bucket for tips
prominently desplayed a $1 bill. The checkerboard dance floor went
unused most of the night (certainly no fault of the music), which left a
large empty space where the fans should have been, so much so that when
Tork went into the audience looking for females to help sing “Mustang
Sally,” the microphone couldn’t quite reach the suddenly shy fans.
Hopefully, the crowd will grow over the next few weeks. Hearing one
great song after another really was more fun than spending the night
with the latest “alternative” bands at the Whisky or Roxy, standing
around a packed room for hours hearing music you’ve never heard before,
just waiting for that one radio hit. On the other hand, Shoe Suede
Blues really is nothing more than a cover band playing standards in a
strip-mall lounge, and enjoyable as the show was, it is arguably just
another example of white musicians exploiting (and recycling) black
music.
Shoe Suede Blues will continue its run at Harvelle’s for the next
three Tuesday nights. The show starts at 8:30 p.m. and the band plays
four sets running through 1:30 a.m. Yes, Tork is the opening band, the
cleanup band, the support band and the headliner all in one! You can
drop in at any time and enjoy the show. Cover price is just $8. You
will have a good time!
For anyone living near Santa Monica who wants a chance to meet Peter, I
highly recommend stopping by (you get great music too!). Peter will
usually take the time to hang out for a while, inc. pictures and
autographs, even if he has to go outside because you’re not 21 (happened
to me this summer). It’s definitely worth the trip…even from as far as
San Francisco.

Rusty’s is now accepting reservations for Shoe Suede Blues on
Jan. 22nd, but only for dinner tables. If you plan on eating, you must
get a dinner reservation. If you’re not eating, reservations are not
required.
For those of you who get Howard Stern, you may know of a show
following Stern called the Johnathan Brandmeier show. Shoe Suede
Blues are tentatively scheduled to do a live set on J.B.’s show, most
likely the morning of Jan 22nd, before the Rusty’s show. If you can’t
get to L.A., this will be the next best thing to being there. This is not yet
in concrete but keep listening for updates. I think Johnathan Brandmeier
reaches almost everybody on the Real Radio Network. The radio station’s
website is at www.fmtalk971.com. You can give comments, suggestions,
and generally talk them into putting SSB on the air.

Subject: The Monkees mentioned on “Who’s Line Is It Anyway?”
Hiya, Listers. This is Paige21 (AKA Lydia)
I was watching “Whose Line IS IT Anyway?” a few minutes ago, and to my
suprise, they happen to metion the monkees for a brief second in the middle of
the episode, and I immediatly knew I had to post it. There was a clip of
video they were showing that contained a bunch of baboons in the wild, and
these guys had to give hints to the guy who was talking about it, so he asked
whether Mike Nesmith was there, and he replied that all the monkees would be
there tonight. Not much of a mention, but it made me smile, and I just
thought everyone who can still catch it should try to look for it. It’s on
ABC, so hope some of you try to look for it.
That’s pretty much it, happy to share my Monkees sightings whenever I can…
Peace, love and Monkeeshines forever! Lydia.

SPENCER GIFTS
As previously announced in the December issue of Monkee Business Fanzine,
the Spencer Gifts retail chain is the exclusive distributor of a line of
Monkees merchandise this winter. Some MBF readers have reported that not
every Spencer Gifts is carrying the Monkees product line—for the location
of the nearest Spencer that IS carrying the Monkees stuff, you can call
1-800- 321-2497 (their customer service department). Yes, some stores WERE
carrying the Monkees line and have dropped it now that the Christmas season
has passed, but Spencer’s customer service people tell us they are
committed to helping you find the Monkees items you need, even if they have
to do it by mail!!!
Also, now that the Christmas season has passed, Spencer has added six
different Monkees t-shirts to their stores. We’ve been told that the red
one, the one showing the Monkees on a vintage TV set, is a Spencer exclusive.

Monkees,” while Paramount Network Television will produce the story of Deborah
Harry and how she fell in love with guitarist Chris Stein and formed the band
Blondie.

Last night, on the Golden Globes, Jack Nicholson was presented with the Cecil
B. DeMille Award. During his speech he thanked many people, including Bert
Schieder, and Bob Rafelson!!, who, of course, had a lot to do with the Monkees
and their creation.

Hi there
I just heard something cool that I thought I should share with fellow
MonkeeNuts.
Michael Nesmith will apparently be on Ric Mitchell’s breakfast show on
Oldies98 WTRY in Albany, New York on Friday (29 January) morning.
I’m listening to it here in the UK over the internet with Windows Media
Player, so no matter where in the world you are, you should be able to tune
in and hear Nez on Friday too.
You can listen live from their website at
Enjoy!

>From the “People” section of the Dallas Morning News, which is compiled from
various wire reports:
HEY HEY IT’S THE HORSES:
Davy Jones is as much into horses as Monkees these days in Albuquerque, NM.
“I ride all the time, of course,” says the 5-foot4-inch singer who made his
mark in the ’60s group The Monkees. “But today, I’m more interested in
developing horses and sharing that sort of thing with others.” Now 53, Mr.
Jones said he once wanted to be a jockey. Mr. Jones performs about 200 dates
a year. He’s scheduled to appear with Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits and
’60s heartthrob Bobby Sherman on the “Teen Idols Tour” this summer.

There was a brief article in our paper this morning about David Jones:
FORMER MONKEE IS JOCKEY JONES
Albuquerque, N.M. (AP)–Davy Jones is as much into horses as Monkees
these days. “I ride all the time, of course,” says the 5 foot 4 inch
singer who made his mark in the 60’s group the Monkees. “But today, I’m
more interested in developing horses and sharing that sort of thing with
others.”
Now 53, Jones said he once wanted to be a jockey.
Jones performs about 200 dates a year. He’s scheduled to appear
with Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits and ’60’s heartthrob Bobby Sherman
on the Teen Idols Tour this summer.
“I’m my own man when I tour,” he says. “I sing some Monkees songs.
I sing some originals.”
