This showed me what kind of man Mickey Dolenz is. He helped carry his ailing friend over the finish line...helping him end his life doing what he didn't realize earlier in his life, that being "Monkee Mike" would bring him satisfaction, camaraderie, and the understanding of his effect on so many people. Mickey the consummate showman took a back seat, and Mickey the friend smiled while Mike, under the influence of a LOT of medical marijuana, would meander and often lose his place listening to the wonderful music. I can only hope I have a Mickey to steady me as I walk toward what comes next.
When I first heard it didn’t fully hit me. Later in the day as I was getting ready to leave work it hit me. I broke down crying like the ten year old who first saw them on TV. Another mile marker has been passed and this one made a huge difference in the person I became. Cut my hair just like Mike, lamb chop side burns and a stocking cap year round till senior year of high school.. yes Mike made a super impression on me. He was one of the good guys.. So many hours laying under the record player listening to my Monkees in 66-67-68… the music will live on and to Mickey I can only say how sorry for your loss. As for Mikes real family I feel your pain and loss and pray for your relief. Mike? You are now in a place where your young sweet voice can shine forever. Getting old ain’t for pussies.. Pete Davey and Mike are young forever as long as we continue to listen to the music and watch a Monkees episode.. Mikey? Don’t be in a hurry to leave us. Go wherever you are invited to share the story and music. It’s a great story and the music is too.
I was there, I had a good seat. I remember Mike singing 'While I Cry', and slightly tearing up. I just wanted to go up on stage and give that man a hug. Only two months later did I get the sad news. I really hope that Micky is doing alright.
RIP. Davy Jones, Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith. I emailed Mickey Dolenz in December and told him that I really enjoyed getting to see him and Mike Nesmith at the Texas Trust CU theater in October.

Thanks for posting this. Michael Nesmith thank you for all the enjoyment you heaped on everyone who were fans and recognised your talent. Glad l got to speak to you all but briefly in 2019. Condolences to all family friends and fans who got it.
I am so glad I attended this show. My 11-year-old son grew up with me playing Monkees music, to the point it became his favorite band (and not many 6th graders can say that). My wife and I took him to this, fifth row center, his first ever concert. So glad I got to experience that with my son, having no idea Mike would leave us two months later.
He wanted this until almost the day he died. Thanks Mike😊💕
Dolenz partied HARD in the early to mid 70's. Amazing he has outlived all the others.

I've always loved Monkeys since I was a kid. I would like to express my deepest condolences to Mike's obituary.
WOOL HAT will always love you
