Happy 68th B-day to Peter Tork
I had to post this video even though it's not very good quality just because I had flashbacks of watching the tv show as a young kid and always loved watching and listening to this. The Monkees, which aired from 1966 to 1968. The members were Americans Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork, and Englishman Davy Jones, who were supervised and popularized by Don Kirshner.
Very hard to believe but my all-time hero Jimi Hendrix actually had their first US concert appearances as an opening act in July 1967 for The Monkees. What a very odd double bill that must have been with all the screaming teenage girls lined up waiting to see their heart throbs and have to sit through the psychedelic sounds of the Jimi Hendrix Experience first, LOL!.
Hard to believe that these guys have not been inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame yet. Why you may ask?, well go to this website to see a list of what they accomplished throughout their career and sign the petition while you're there. http://www.petitiononline.com/Kretch07/petition.html and then..."lay back and groove".
