Hi Sara, I like the Monkees. Last Train To Clarksville and That Was Then and This IS Now ar my faovrite songs of theirs. Speaking of them you know what? This is kind of funny but when I was 15 and a half I came bakc from vacationa nd in Tennessee at Wendy's I thought I saw Mike NEsmith. It looked just like him bacl in the 60s. I stared at the guy for a logn tiem wondering if it was him,and he said how are you doing,and I said fine. I todl my brother I thought it was the guy from the Monkees and he said if it was he would go over there and ask for his autograph.

Hey Paulfan you never know it could've been Mike Nesmith.
I've seen them in concert twice first time in 1997 and second time in 2001, great shows but of course it was only with Davy Jones, Peter Tork and Micky Dolenz and their back up band, i was lucky enough to meet Davy Jones very nice guy, omg he walked right in front of me!!
ops: He said hello and asked if i had anything for him to sign which i did, got a little hug from him!! I met Peter Tork also, another very nice man, it was brief, he came out to meet the fans after the show, i got to shake his hand, he said hello also as he was walking by.
I hope to see Davy do a solo show sometime this year if he makes it Wisconsin i haven't seen him solo they have their 40th anniversary in 2006.

Sara, This was back in 1987. Wasn't Mike in his 40s back then? The guy looked exactly like how Mike looked when he was in the Monkees. It is so neat that you saw the Monkees in concert. You are lucky ot have met Davey and PEter. I like the Brady Bunch episode where Davey is in and likes the way he sings Girl. I have that song on a Very Brady Sequel cd. I remember their 20 year anniversary in 1986 and when That Was Then This IS nOw was poopular. They were on television alot that year. Didn't they do a pizza commercial with Ringo? I know Mike had a show called television parts bakc in 1985. Davey and Peter Noone were on an episode of my two Dads once and Davey played a singer who Nicole idolized and PEter played his manager.
-
Hi Giri yes they did do a commerical with Ringo i think around 1995, Davy, Micky and Peter did.
I still have it on one of my old tapes!!
Well Mike Nesmith is 61 now so he would've been 44 then, so it very well could've been him. The guys still look great for their ages Davy is 58 with two grandsons and 4 daughters, Micky is 58 with 4 daughters, Peter is 60 with 3 kids, Mike is 61 with 4 kids and a couple grandkids. I hope they do a reunion of some sort for their 40th anniversary, they've never really been close off stage over the years, so that might be the only reason they wouldnt work together again. I love the song Davy sings on the Brady Bunch!!

Thanks Sara. I thought Ringo did a commerical with them. It is kind of funny that they are grandparents now. They are closer to my parents age than to mine. I didn't know they weren't close offstage even though I know Mike didn't want to do a reunion with them in 1986. I do hope they do a reunion in 2006 and I also like Davey's song Girl. SPeaking of it I might play it sometiem soon.
-
Hi Giri yes, they've had personal problems between the 4 of them, and it's kinda sad they haven't been as close to each other, Davy said recently he hasnt seen or spoken to Mike Nesmith since 1996, and hasn't talked to Micky or Peter since 2001. Off stage they do their own things, and it's probably best that way. They've reunited in the past so it wouldn't surprise me if even the three of them do at least one more tour together. Their shows are great live!!

It is pretty sad Sara. Didn't teh Beatles also have personal problems between them? I'm glad Paul made up with George before he died. I wouldn't be surprised if the Monkees do another reunion either. I guess when people spend too much time together they get one ach other's nerves. I'll be back later,I'm going to watch the AfC Championship game now and later teh NFc Championship.
-
Hi Giri as far as i know the Beatles always managed to stay close over the years even if they had their arguments, they were there for each other when needed. and i think that is great!! With the Monkees, it's more between Davy and Peter having arguments and personal problems than the others, and it's just best they keep their distance!! See you later.
-
oops sorry Sam we were Monkeeing around there! hehe. Once i get going about the Monkees i can't stop!!

ok one more joke ........for th d'yy Two blokes are chatting in a pub. Bloke 1 is telling bloke 2 that he is going to South America on holiday next month and enquired weather he would like him to bring back any animals. Bloke 2 " What do you mean, any animals"? Bloke 1 goes onto explain that the way that he and his wife fund their holidays is by smuggling animals into the U.K. under their clothing and then selling them on for cash. He explained that last year his wife had smuggled two tortoises by placing them in her bra and that he himself had smuggled in a python simply by looping it around his waist disguised as a belt. Bloke 2 "Well, I've always fancied a skunk as a pet". Bloke 1 "Thats no problem. I'll get the wife to hide it in her knickers. The customs people will never look there" Bloke 2 "But what about the smell"? Scroll Down well if it does it dies......
Sam I thought yo were leavin....

Sam Leach:
Hello Oliver. There are a number of events planned and here is a link to Martin Lewis' website which details all the US events. http://www.thefab40.com I suppose I can tell you all now that I came close to having New York's Mayor declare FEB 9th as being Beatle Day. New York and Apple agreed it was a good idea but Paul or Ringo can't make it that day due to prior committments. We would have needed more time. Oh well...I tried. Maybe some other time. Cheers. Sam.
It would have been nice. BTW, Sam I guess you've seen that movie Spielberg bout the day the Beatles played for the first time at Ed Sullivan's. It was all about fans and their adventures to see the performances. I don't remember the title.
-
Okay Sam have a good day tomorrow.
-
Sam, Yeah I guess I understand your point. They are only looking out for me and doing it for my own good. I bet you were teh same way with your children right? The only thing I don't understand is them telling other parents not to be so overprotective of other children when they do it themselves. No point in me bickering about it. I hope one day I will be more secure with myself and not worry as much. Sara,it is good that the Beatles were pretty close. It is better for PEter and Davey to keep their distance otherwise alot of bickering could happen. Great news Sam adn everyone,I talked to my cousin on the phone just now and he said that he thought both John and Paul were talented even solowise and I asked him who eh thought ahd mroe talent and he said about the same they both complemented each other. He likes Rvolver and Rubber SOul as his favorite albums.

Hey Paulfan maybe one day the Monkees will be as close friends as the Beatles are, but remember the Beatles knew each other since they were kids and the Monkees were thrown together to be a band like the Beatles for TV, but they became a band in every sense of the word, even Davy has said they dont hang out much outside of work.

I hope so Sara. The Monkees weren't supposed to be a real band but acting for tv. The Beatles went to school together. As for not hanging out wiht epople outside of work it seems like the Monkees were just partners and no more. I don't hang out with people outside of work either. Not even the girl I was feeling sad about but I talked to ehr alot at work. How about Paul against Davey Jones in a boxing match?
-
hehe Paul vs Davy, that would be interesting!! I would love to see that!! I don't know how much of a fighter Davy is when it comes to boxing!! As long as Paul doesn't do too much damage to Davy!! Davy's still handsome as is Paul, i wouldn't want to see either of them bruised up too much!!
-
Sam Leach:
Hi Paulfan: Paul created the Macca category...be nice to as many people as possible. Cheers. Sam.
Oh, I guess I'm not part of that, am I?
I'm not that nice...especially if you are on my bad side....;)
Hey Starr, hey Paulfan. I love your Monkees talk. How cool.
I wonder if they would ever come to Canada where I live.
Har, har. Well, Davy's as handsome as Paul! Really! Well, I would have that better celebrity boxing at it's finest!
*left jab, jab, jab...
*
-
lol Kathy!! *davy takes a right jab at Paul, but can't reach Paul's face!
Paul stands there looking down at Davy, not sure what to do next *
Davy's my first crush, even before Paul came into the picture!! but i do LOVE Paul too!! And to think i got a hug from Davy!!
