I'll be the first to admit I was a huge Monkees fan...he wasn't my favorite, but it's sad to see one of them leave this earth. A bit of trivia you all may not know - he actually appeared on the ed…Continue

Julie Jurrjens replied to Eric Collins's discussion Rest in Peace, Davy Jones"One can't assume the worst; could just be genes.

Frank Miller said… Hi Eric,
Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if you might have a copy of your shoestrings ep for sale? I just recently heard it, and I like it allot; I think it's a great record. If you don't have any, maybe you might be able to stear me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Frank

Unbelievably great.

So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years. A couple of years back, he got on Facebook and he posts long, winding tales about himself, his dogs, his home, his past, and a really lovely Mother's Day post last weekend. Photos go up. The whole thing. It's like he disappeared and then came back on his own terms. I didn't know how to take it. I'm a huge Monkees fan, no doubt. And, being a woman/girl of a certain age, I have a favorite and that favorite is Mike.…See More
