@Goodie2shoes Oops I just started a thread too.

 

I was a Monkees fan from age 9-12...big part of my youth then. Still have my vinyl Monkee albums. ❤️🎶

Yes, only 78... Smiley Sad.  RIP

Was thinking...that green wool hat should be in the Smithsonian or something...like Fonzie's jacket and things like that. So iconic.

@wagirl,

Peter died February 21, 2019. The only remaining Monkee is Micky Dolenz, and, he is 76 years old now.

I don't know why the Monkees aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Many of their songs and classics.

Re: The Monkees guitarist dies

I have memories of watching their television show daily before I even started elementary.  Mom watched Dark Shadows first while I sat/hid outside then it was my turn for The Monkees.
