What genius decided that Jimi opening for the Monkees was a good idea? LOL.
The same genius made the decision 20 years later to have the new Prince open for george thoroughgood and The Rolling Stones.
I enjoy ice cream and I enjoy scrambled eggs, but I wouldn’t throw them in a bowl and mush them together.
Micky did. He saw Jimi at Monterey Pop and decided to try to help. It was good intentions. It could have worked. They have some overlap in audience... well me anyway. I would have dug it.
When I was eight years old, the Monkees were a huge part of my life. I watched their TV show every week. We had a cat who had kittens; and we named them Peter, Mickey, Michael and Davy. I probably had a little Monkees metal lunchbox that I carried to school every day, and I listened to my 45s each night. But that was in 1966. By 1970, Were they even still around?
It was the 60s, so I am sure that copious amounts of drugs had an influence on the decision-making process.
Probably the same guy running the Biden campaign....
