RIP Peter Tork Monkees Singer Bassist Keyboardist
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...=.47dbea3254a7

The younger folks probably wont give doodley squat but when I was a little kid The Monkees show after school was big. My sister was a big fan and this show was her favorite and she got the TV when it was on. I missed the cartoons more but me and my brother were younger so we watched. I learned to appreciate and enjoy later and Peter Tork was really probably the most talented of the bunch. Mr Tork battled rare form of tongue cancer for ten years finally succumbing to it.

"Hey Hey for the Monkees" RIP Mr Tork!

Good times. The Monkees are as Americana as Vanilla Cokes and Drive-In movies. I can't think of one single song of theirs that I don't like.

RIP.

If I remember right, only one of them could play an instrument when they started out. They all learned.

Loved the Monkees TV show as a kid.

IIRC, Nesmith is one of the people responsible for MTV.

You probably need to read a little more about the Monkees and Peter Tork who was actually a pretty accomplished musician. With roots in blues and folk music before being recommended by Stephen Stills for the TV show after Don Kirshner didn't like Stills teeth on camera for the part. The contract they signed for the 1st 2 years required session musicians to play the instruments for the show. Carol King was hired to write most the songs for the show. At the end of of the 2 year contract the Monkees gained control of musicianship and Tork and Nesmith began writing many of their songs. Tork was the most proficient playing guitar bass harpsichord organ banjo and steel guitar.

Seen this and told my grandkids he'd died. Their response....'so....wth is that?'. So i tell them the basic story, in a band, killer Saturday morning show called The monkeys. I then pull up a youtube of one of the old episoces while hyping how great it was. Uh...yea...no, just....not....funny. 5 mins into it I'm trying to explain why it's funny, then just closed it.
Lost a lot of street cred with the little brats.

Wasn't intended to be nor was it directed to you I just read your post that was similar to Randallflaggs. Just giving some facts that were being skewed here. Like many in music in that period they got screwed by producers into contracts that limited what they could do musically. It was more about the TV show than the music. Blowfish posted the article that went into a lot of this they weren't Milli Vanilli just young and foolish.

It was really pretty mild I can be a much bigger dick than that.

Watched them as a kid. Always loved their slapstick comedy & even their music.
