    I think every girl who had a crush on Davy feels that way. He was such an important part of our childhoods, and he meant so much to everyone. Each of us will carry him with us in our hearts forever, and our hearts will always be broken. There aren't too many clebrities who have that kind of long-lasting impact on their fans.Davy was very special!

    You are so right. I had lots of crushes when I was a little girl [Bobby Sherman, David Cassidy, and Donny Osmond], but when Davy passed away, it felt as though I had lost a dear, close friend. It hurt, and it still hurts to know that he's gone. I've never had a strong emotional connection to a celebrity, and I've never been so affected by a celebrity's death. Davy was one of a kind. We lost this sweet man much to soon. I'll never heal completely.

    Mike Nesmith became a writer/director/ producer who, as Mickey said, mixed an album they did together. The guys have other lives. Thank God Mike is still with them, just not on tour. For four young men who didn't know one another, they've been together 48 years, Davy in spirit. At least now, what they write they own. Neil Diamond and others did right by them when they began. Be happy Mike's still with them rather than down him. ¬ JTD

      Man Mike loved the Monkees. Mike and peter were Real Solid muscians. I think Mike wanted be in a real band the monkees were a TV show about a band. Mike also got into the business side creating video and recieved the first grammy for a video. I even believe Mike and Peter not getting along was an artistic conflict not personal. I bet if you put Mike and peter on an island for a week with just them with a studio, instruments some kick ass pot and beer they would of made some AWESOME music.

    I never got Mike Nesmith's attitude towards the Monkees. Why not just have fun with it and let people enjoy themselves? He always seemed to take himself so seriously. Life is full of heartache so lighten other people's burden if you can.

    • @WeerdMunkee
      @WeerdMunkee 5 років тому +4

      A lot of the times it was because of other obligations. Mike has always run a company or two here and there, as well as having multiple projects of an artistic nature going on at the same time. Most of the time it wasn't because he didn't want to, but he simply couldn't. He's back in the game now though, so it all balanced out in the end. :)

    • @harry2928
      @harry2928 Місяць тому +1

      In 1968 I would stare at their various little photos on the album cover and sometimes see pics elsewhere. I never felt comfortable with Nesmith's face. He looks like a pissed-off person not trying hard enough to hide it. Decades later ('80s) I spoke to people older than me who had bigger more detailed memories of all things '60s & '50s. They knew people who interacted with him, reflecting that he was a pampered but jaded snob with sour grapes attitude about anything that didn't go his way and that didn't profit him more than his peers. And they also stated that he "took himself way-way too seriously in proportion to his actual talent".

    "Mike's mixing our new album." "AAIIIIIEEEE!!!!" Meanwhile, how many of those people screaming actually BOUGHT the damn thing when it came out? Not too many, I'd wager. I did, and JUSTUS is a pretty good album! True, there's no poppy "Clarksville" or "Believer" on it, but what is there - "It's Not Too Late, "You And I," and "Regional Girl" - is worthy of the guys' legacy. The updated version of "Circle Sky" is worth the price of admission alone! ;)

    • @Bigbadwhitecracker

      I DID!! I"M the ONE who bought it. This album sold even less copies than Pool It!
      I know I'll get attacked on this one but I prefer Pool it to Justus. There are a few good tunes on Justus but it's definitely not Headquarters 2 whereas Pool it is a jamming '80s update of the Kirshner era type of thing. I took it out and dusted it off recently and my gosh, 30 years later there are some brilliant tunes on it (along with a couple of clunkers).
      Of course, Good Times is the Mac-Daddy of everything.

I collected only half of their released recordings. But the thing is: I'm still into collecting the 1980s new age music normally as usual in the long run.

    This was when late night talk shows didnt project their political beliefs, its when they were entertaining, back then that was their only agenda, after Leno, Letterman and even Craig Ferguson late night tv became politics and sadly i said to hell with them, i dont like anything political and never have and its not why I watched late night tv, the current crop of late night hosts are just totally horrible, I Know in their loser heads they think talking politics is funny, their only agenda is to get you to agree with what political scenario they believe in and they think this is somehow funny but its not and i hope they all find out just how unfunny and unneeded they truly are
