And another bit of Monkees trivia: Stephen Stills auditioned for the Monkees, but was rejected because of his bad teeth! Anyway, it just goes to show that the Monkees were being recruited from real musicians, not actors or models or fame-wannabes. To me the Monkees evoke memories of my very first efforts to be different and non-conformist, however naive that may seem now. I was 13 and went to a catholic school run by nuns, and I became friends with 2 other girls who impressed me because they seemed rather bohemian. They were heavily into jazz ballet, and every week discussed the latest Monkees episode, conspiratorially laughing their head off, making it part of their own private world. That's the way the Monkees remain engraved into my consciousness: the first stirrings of an alternative world. A year or so later I would discover the whole hippy phenomenon (and much more serious music such as Joni's). Sorry to see Davy, or anyone else for that matter, go at the much too young age of 66.
