I did a FReep search and couldn't find a thread. Are FReepers *that* anti-Monkee?

RIP Mike. Say hi to Davy (who played Ocean City, MD's Sunfest or Springfest, I forget which, one year) and Peter.

I loved the Monkees. I won a raffle at school during my 7th grade and their album was the prize. It’s the only thing I won in my life except for my beautiful and patient wife.

There were a couple of posts. The one I browsed seemed to have a normal number of comments. My comment: so many people who had their heyday in the sixties are gone.

Did you try to search the complete title? Unless the title of an earlier post matches your search exactly, nothing will come up.

It’s better to search just the one or two words that are most likely to be in a title about something. A search for only “Nesmith” shows three posts to have been made before yours.

I’ve had his song “Joanne” running through my head the last week or so. The early 70’s were some great music.

Who else remembers that for the first year or two Paul Revere and the Raiders played the music because none of them could play well enough to perform?

I remember when Sony began shipping their Betamax Hi-Fi stereo VCRs. One of Mike's videos was on the included demo tape.
