    I've never wanted to know Peter personally more than now. Every interview with him, i hear myself saying "yeah, me too". But i could never say that about musical instruments. I own many, and play none well. Peter is a natural, passionate instrument of music himself. He's more endearing than ever, and is once again my favorite Monkee. So SO sad that my first crush, Davy, is gone, because now we'll never get to see the Monkees play together again. Another sad goodbye. Please stick around Peter.

    By now he should have been pronounced as "cured" from the cancer. Not sure how many years you have to be cancer free for that.

    It's nice to see him in good shape,k better than me and I'm younger than him. But a musician as well, if the gear available now was there for him at the beggining I think he would have gone very far with the talent he has. $250,000 then is $1500 now. But when a musician survives like he has, I'm always ready to celebrate. Sorry Peter, but I'm lighting up in your honour, and it's legal so don't worry. Besides, my specialist insists I smoke weed.
