JerrySTL ★ Posted February 21, 2019 Share #8 Posted February 21, 2019 I thought it strange that a local venue is having a concert with Michael Nesmith and Micky Dolenz as the Monkees. Nesmith didn't tour with the Monkees until very recently but Tork did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted February 22, 2019 Share #14 Posted February 22, 2019 Interesting article in Variety about the band and the musical talents of some of them https://variety.com/2019/music/news/peter-tork-the-monkees-dies-dead-1203144914/ Quote Tork attributed the huge initial success of the Monkees to two factors. “We were lucky to lock into one of the greatest song writing gangs of all time. … We had Carole King writing songs for us. Please, there has never been a better songwriter — really, come on,” he said to UK Music Reviews. “Secondly there was television.
