I normally am big on RIP threads but not this time. Never liked them, very unfunny and crap music. Sorry he is gone but cant say I feel sadness TBH. [video=youtube;XfuBREMXxts]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfuBREMXxts[/video]

Well I was 10 when they first came on TV and I was very taken with their, as we used to say, 'whacky' humour... little did I realise these were one of the first 'manufactured' bands and by the time they broke up I'd moved on to the likes of Rory Gallagher, Roy Harper and Yes. I have mixed feeling about them now... partially nostalgic and partially irritated by the trend they set for putting image ahead of ability... no great loss to music but a bit of my childhood dies with him I guess.
I was explaining to my son who the Monkees were, I said they were the Spice Girls of the 60s, Jones as baby spice!
There will be one hell of a wake in the bar of The Rovers Return. Apparently even Ena Sharples is returning along with Pat Pheonix.

My wife threatened to leave me because of my obsession with the Monkees, I thought she was only joking - Then I Saw Her Face. No, in all seriousness the whole lot of them should have been strangled at birth along with that tosser Robbie Williams.
