He's probably just travelling to Rio.
Different Drum is the best 'fuck off' song ever.
RIP Mr Nesmith.

One of the few Monkees that wrote some of there stuff. Neil Diamond wrote some crackers like "I'm a Believer".
"Steppin Stone's" a classic.
The band the Beatles wanted to be.

Complete copy of the Monkees only film, Head:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4nT-5DyjX0
Sonny Liston, Frank Zappa, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson, Victor Mature, all appear, as does Chelsea Brown, if anyone else is old enough to remember the black woman who danced in a bikini every week in Laugh In.
I don't think there is much point in watching it sober or free of mind altering drugs.

I think that was the Rutles.
Seriously though, the Monkees were very interesting and I loved them and their music. They were probably the first boy band but ended up being far more talented than was intended.
If any of you don't know the story of the Monkees, I recommend you go look for it, they were truly amazing.

They say AIDS was created by someone having sex with a Monkey. If I were a betting man I would have said Micky Dolenz, but turns out he is the last Monkey standing.

He also devised original programme that spawned MTV.
The monkees were a fake band originally but morphed into their own thing. Head is indeed very trippy but the music is great and it was all theirs.

The Monkees where a huge influence on The Beatles. Peter Jackson won't tell you that tho.

RIP Mike.
I remember seeing their feature film 'Head' at the Scala in Kings Cross and couldn't believe how trippy it was. They suddenly looked like a grown up band.
I know that Neil Diamond wrote Last Train To Clarksville but it's still a song I grew up with, like I'm A Believer
The sands of time are getting heavier and heavier.
