(1,622 posts)...Fun fact: Jimi Hendrix was the opening act for The Monkees on their 1967 tour but ended up playing only 8 of the 29 dates...

So why are the "walking dead" Keith Richards and Mick Jagger still on their two feet?

(3,402 posts)They say running is good for your health? Jim Fixx, world class runner, died when he was only 52. Florence Griffith Joyner, world class runner, died when she was only 38. Keith Richards is still alive!

(3,402 posts)He was recommended for the Monkees by his good friend, Stephen Stills. He and Mike Nesmith were really good musicians who struggled to be taken seriously because of the Monkees.

(9,282 posts)Summer 2016 on their 50th Anniversary Tour. Great show and a wonderful tribute to Davy. So sad. Had a crush on Peter when I was 10.

(14,180 posts)Loved them. And their wacky TV show.
A favorite and oddly somber tune from that album, Shades of Gray:

(7,429 posts)I saw The Monkees in concert on their reunion tour in the late 80's. It was a great experience and I just loved to see him (I always had a crush on Peter). I hate that he died at the age of 77. Rest in Peace Peter.

(21,288 posts)I told my sister the Monkees would be greater than the Beatles. I remember her laughing at me. I was 8 years old and didn't know better. Davy Jones was my fav Peter Tork was my second fav.
I still have 3 of their albums.
Rip Peter Tork.
