Although Stephen Stills never became a Monkee, despite auditioning for the band

Lots of well known musicians didn't make the cut for for the Monkeys - like Charlie Manson (Snopes denies it, so it must be true.)

Don Kirshner found excellent song writers.
The actual musicians he used were tight.
I enjoyed a large handful of their tunes, even though the band you saw was mostly actors.
The GTO convertible station wagon was BOSS.

My first thought upon reading the title was “Neil Young playing with the Wrecking Crew? You’ve got to be kidding.” but then upon reading the article it’s made clear that no-one is pretending he was anything but a cameo.

I initially read the title as "That Time Neil Young Cut [One] Loose with The Monkees. I thought maybe one day while they were rehearsing.

“cut one loose”

English
Verb

(slang, idiomatic) to fart

Neil Young wasn’t so much a guitar player as a chicken plucker. :-)

I have just about everything NY ever produced, but he jumped the shark years ago. His last six or so albums have sullied his once-great legacy.

[Robert DeLong]

I had to buy Monkees albums on the down low, otherwise, I would be mocked for enjoying them, LOL.

[Forgotten Amendments]

Stills once got real angry when asked about auditioning for the Monkees. He said it was a myth. That he brought a lot of demos of songs for them to consider, but he never wanted to be a Monkee.

This was a long time ago when the Monkees weren’t fashionable and Stills was frying his brain and awesome talent. So, who knows?

I love the irony of people who dismiss the Monkees because they (mostly) didn’t write their songs or play their records, but think Elvis was a god.

[Rastus]

A Monkee man don’t need him around anyhow.

[Dr.Deth]

The Monkees were a very polished product when Kirshner was involved. There's was such an explosion of raw unfiltered music around that time. That's the real "hidden gem" stuff I gravitate to.

Johnny Cash performed with The Monkees on his TV show.
