That’s sad news, a sudden death, and he was not old.
No, an American rock group with a British lead singer. Is Garbage a Scottish group because the lead singer is from Scotland?
I saw him in concert in 2008. He was a good sport. Put on the original jacket he wore on the Brady Bunch when he sang “Girl.”
I used to watch their show when I was a kid... this is so sad. Hope he was spiritually prepared.
...And then I saw her face....Now I’m a Believer,
Without a trace....Of doubt in my mind....
Simple, no bullshit lyrics, that in their uncluttered elegance, say so much.
From a better America.
Real shame he was a good guy. I read last year he was campaigning to get the Monkees into the Rock N Roll Hall of fame but the RNR refused on the excuse that the “Monkees where not a real band who did not record their own music”.
Well what the hell do they think Madonna is? Madonna, who inexplicably IS in the RNR hall of fame?
A woman (if you can call her that) where just about all of her hit songs were written and recorded by other people? All she did was lay down her vocals..Hmmm, wow just like the Monkees! And unlike Madonna, the Monkees actually recorded/put out ROCK AND ROLL!
A few years ago I’m watching a DVD of the Beatles on Sullivan and one of the other acts is the cast from the B’way show Oliver!. This young kid is singing a duet with the star (someone or other Brown). As young as the kid is he’s bringing it off like and old hand. It occurred to me to wonder what happens to a kid that talented? Why have we not heard of him in latter years. I mean, he’s on B’way at about 12 years of age and acting quite the trouper. Where’d he go? Long story short: His name was Davey Jones. RIP dude.
Back in the late 70s the college I was attending decided—who knows why— to show a XXX movie at the student center. Davy Jones was in it.
This really bums me out. On the bright side, I just had a great stress test result today at age 58. Rest in peace, Davy.
I can’t believe Davy Jones of the Monkees has died! :,-( He was only 66 and was always so full of life! I and nearly every girl in America had a crush on him in the 60’s. <3 The Monkees’ TV show was fun to watch and their chart-topping music is worth listening to... I have their songs on my computer. This is really sad. :-(
I’m sorry to hear this. Still fairly young. Rest in peace Davy Jones.
The Monkey’s weren’t a British group.. They had a Brit singer.
Prefab Four, they were called.
Nesmith went on to produce some excellent solo albums. Subsequently, he lost sight and recently regained it. See his Fakebook page.
paging David Bowie....your name is available for use again.
