I loved the Monkees when I worra lad as well. RIP Davy.

Singer of Randy Scouse Git (or Alterative Title in the UK )

Do you mean Long Haired Lover From Liverpool? I think that was little Jimmy Osmond....


That's sad news. I loved The Monkees, Davy most of all. Still like the music.

When I was little, in the 70's, I got confused between the Monkees and the Beatles. We didn't listen to pop music, but my Mum had one Beatles EP (which we didn't play because we didn't have a record player). I got the vague idea that the it was the Beatles who played the Monkees in the TV show....

I think the Monkees were one of those bands almost everyone liked.

I remember them playing "I'm a Believer" in some of the darkest, dingiest Goth/Punk clubs imaginable back in the 80's and everyone danced (or at least shuffled round looking at our feet) happily.

RIP Davy.

I loved the one they did about Kevin Keegan...inspired lyrics.

RIP Mr Jones. Taken too young.

I didn't believe it at first when my wife told me the sad news... but then I saw her face..

I just walked down to the shops and heard some loud music coming from The Shoulder of Mutton. (It sounded like they have a live band on; if not, they have a very loud juke box!) I instantly recognised the song as Day Dream Believer, even though it is probably 35+ years since I last heard it.

It took me back to being a teenager.

Mid-60s is too young to die ... R.I.P. Davy Jones.
