Summary: Born in Washington DC in 1942, Peter Thorkelson met superstardom in his early twenties when the politically interested musician, songwriter and actor was referred by his friend Stephen Stills to audition for a part in a pop-rock-band tv show: The Monkees. He became one of the characters on the show in 1966, and a member of the band that emerged from that show: a quartet that would become icons in American pop culture for several decades. The Monkees tv show lives on in syndication, and the Monkees band has reunited many times, including a King Biscuit video release. Throughout, Peter Tork has continued his own musical journey, married a few times, and battled cancer, writes an AskPeter column on his blog and continues to perform with and without his Monkee bandmates. He recently stopped by Wolfgang’s Vault for a rare and exclusive Vault Session to play some familiar and some less familiar tunes and to tell us about the upcoming Monkees reunion tour. Enjoy.

I still feel like the world was great for that half hour.....
You can hear how his voice changed, that darn cancer eventually won. I miss my favorite Monkee, the best of the bunch.
Peter never failed to give an interesting interview. What a Renaissance man he was. Wow - and get to the end, his remarks on "being a hero unto yourself" and his philosophy about being different... I wish the interviewer had asked more questions around these themes!
The idea of the individual as an expression of the hero to himself is also expressed in the work of Joseph Campbell in his work, The Power Of Myth. Campbell was a patient of the Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung, who may have been the first to express this idea.
If we have confidence in our self and do the required work in developing our own inner power (achieved through empowering our version of love) then we become "individuated" and the leader and hero of who and all we can be... :)
@@robbrown4621 I hadn't heard of Joseph Campbell or this particular work - will have to look this one up. Thanks for responding with this!
@@bluestmarble9934 This may be a helpful analysis of Joseph Campbell's idea of the hero (originating with Carl Jung). There is a lot of Joseph Campbell on UA-cam. He did a series in the late 1990s along the line of Carl Sagan's Cosmos: ua-cam.com/video/Hhk4N9A0oCA/v-deo.html
Yes
The man knew his music.
He is my favorite
Very good interview.
Aw. That was beautiful.
Love that man!!!!
I always especially enjoyed when Peter took himself seriously on an interview. I mean the clowning was fine and all, but....he had a lot of talent and ideas that were often left in the background (and yes, he should have played LEAD on guitar with the Monkees).
Wow Peter is such an interesting guy with a lot of good things to say.
Crawdaddy! magazine has an interesting history, I checked it out on Wikipedia because watching Angie, conduct her interview, she at times appeared to me cool if not cold, unconnected, a bit insincere toward her guest. Perhaps it was not her preferred assignment. Still enjoyed hearing from Peter Tork.
2010, the year of Ctizens United. makes his comment about authority not caring about the kids correct. Right On.
Mary Mary that's the one I can sing
Not the guitar. 😂
This is Superscientist
We transform
Who say die ?
