I was watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 yesterday when about a half-hour
towards the end I heard the name Micky Dolenz!! This bad guy kinda looked
like him, brown hair kinda wavy but he had a mean look on his face…well
anyway, one of the guys, I think it was Crow says “Tell me I look like Micky
Dolenz” Just thought I’d toss that in

Another example of monkees dis-respect:

From: Got2havlov@aol.com

in out local paper the Flint Jurnal there was a section called :Book
Chronicales Stupid Rock Star Trick, Escapades.” well along with many others
it said this:
” Stephen Still tried out to be one of the Monkees. He didn’t get the job.
I’ll bet that lost opportunity keeps him up nights” there are some real funny
ones in there too.

Peace & Love
Carrie
ps
there was also a Beatles mention in our paper too. in a differnt section

My grandma’s visiting, and has a thing for watching TNN (the nashville network). So last night on their talk show, Prime Time Country, there was a guest host. He was interviewing Hal Ketchum. Hal started making jokes about becoming “a session shaker player–I’ll be the best shaker player in the world!” (Now, here’s how it went, as far as I can remember)
“No, Davy Jones is already the world’s best shaker player.”
Hal: “Yeah, but he’s British, and he’s not here, so he can move on”.
Stupid Guest Host: “The Monkees are dead! “
Hal: “No, they’re not dead, they’re just slightly wounded”
S.G.H.: “If you’ve seen any of the Monkees lately… you’ll know they’re dead”.
Then they went to commercial.
Voila, You never know, there might be reruns and if you enjoy hearing people insult them, you’ll get to see it.

Yesterday on Furniture to Go, a TLC program, Joe and Ed were discussing power
drills. Joe asked where the Tork (on the drill) was, and Ed replied with,
“It’s right here next to the Nesmithand Dolenz”. They brought up that joke
again later in the show. Pretty cool, huh?

This email came in response to my inquirey about Peter and James being in the
internet show (http://www.mediabureau.com). I asked if they had any more

what they said:

>>We will be in Lancaster PA on the 29th to do the recording.
We will then do a broadcast the following wed. during the normal hours of the

So no – there will be no chat – not this time. Both of them will be back in
our
studios though – we’ll keep yah posted.

Hi there! My sister just returned from a trip to San Francisco and
informed about an art exhibit at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
featuring the late Keith Haring. Anyway, the exhibit features journal
entries and art work by Keith Haring when he was a child….one of the
journal entries showed a color and b/w photo of Davy Jones with a heart
drawn around the photos and a capation that read “I love Davy Jones”.
Below the heart was Keith Haring’s Monkees Fan Club membership card!

The Keith Haring exhibit runs until September 8th at the San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art for those who are interested.

Love & Peace,

Joy

RADIO TIMES
Saturday 29 August

TODAY’S CHOICE

Hey Hey We’re the Monkees
9.00pm C4

The Americans took a look at the success of the Beatles’ a Hard Days Night and decided that hey, we can do that too. So an ad went out in August 1965 for four zany boys – folk and roll musicians-singers for acting roles. Mike, Mickey, Davy and Peter got the parts and the Monkees were born. From the TV series (which won an Emmy in 1967) to the box-office disaster of the Bob Rafelson/jack Nicholson film Head, the history of the Monkees is told by the band and the people who made them in this evening of Monkeemania.

They had auditioned for roles in a rock group in a TV show but ended up actually becoming a rock band. It’s like Leonard Nimoy becoming a Vulcan, say Mickey Dolenz. But what of those 433 people who didn’t make it. Daydream Believers (11.05pm) traces five guys who weren’t so lucky.

At 6.25pm the episode to be screened will be Royal Flush

There is also a small picture on page 7

Here is what Micky said on Talk Radio – nothing earth shattering

TALK RADIO
25 August 1998

Claire Catford and Bill Overton Live from LA at 6.40am

A short clip of Daydream Believer is played

With us now is Micky Dolenz. (Micky – the guy who did not sing that song)
But you were drumming on it – absolutely, yes
Drummer with the Monkees

No, no, actor – who played the part of the drummer on the Monkees

Did you get the chance to drum – Yes always

The thing was auditions for a TV show originally before the band

Micky Dolenz – it wasn’t a band. It was never a band. Today it’s not a band

Even when you reformed

Not from my point of view. It’s a cast of a television show. It’s more like the cast of a musical getting back together. If you had the original cast from Cats, say Eileen Page got back together to do a revived Cats. That’s the way I have always approached it. The Monkees was always a television show about a band and I played the drummer, so when I get back on stage as one of the Monkees I get back on stage as if Yul Brynor got back to do the King & I.

Back into role. – Yes exactly

Can you drum?

Yes absolutely – quite well. You had to do a number of things to get into the auditions. You had to sing, play an instrument, you had to improvise you had to act. To do a number of things. Make a good cup of coffee. It was cast like a musical. That’s the way you would cast a West End musical.

Do you have great memories of the TV series?

I have none. No I loved it. I’m told I had a good time. But it was 30 years ago

What were you doing 30 years ago and do you remember?

We’ve been saying you’re back here. But in fact it’s been a few years since you decided to come back from Britain

I went over to Britain in 1975 and got real lucky and started directing over there Well for BBC and for LWT – Metal Micky. Which has always been my day job since. And to this day it’s what I do. And I think what I do best is directing and produce television shows.

A divorce sort of drove me out of the country a few years ago and a number of reasons I decided to come back here. I still have family in Britain and in fact my 3 girls who live in Cambridge are here in LA right now

What was it like re-establishing yourself here?

It was much more difficult than re-establishing my self in Britain in 1975. I think in Britain we don’t tend to pigeon hole people quite as badly.

Here they really do tend to pigeonhole you.

It’s a tough town. But there is a lot at stake.

There’s a lot at stake, in all fairness the budgets are up in millions in Britain the budgets are in the hundreds of thousands. SO it makes a big difference and taking risks so. And a lot of people over here think I am a drummer. Like you did.

And so it’s been a re-education process. But I understand and I chip away at the inertia that was created by that wonderful show. It was the greatest thing that ever happened to me, the Monkees

You don’t mind talking about the Monkees

I don’t mind talking about it…I don’t like to talk about it at great length. To me it’s a little boring. It was a long long time ago. I have gone on to many other things.

Tell us about that now.

Directing. That’s my day job. I’m working on shows here and in the UK. A couple of shows there that I’m talking about doing. I’d love to go back there and work and do some directing

Here I’m doing a show called Boy Meets World which also shows on Disney in the UK, shows here on ABC, it’s a sit com, and developing shows and writing and producing and, my day job is a boring old TV director.

You sound a little world-weary

It’s supposed to be a breakfast show. Its so funny hearing the traffic reports

The M25 is clogged up again. Bloody the M25. There gonna have to widen it to 400 lanes.

No it’ll become like LA. You can’t get around in he rush hour. I was listening to a traffic jam this evening and it moves. In the UK it doesn’t move

The M25 is a huge parking lot – but they’re widening it I’ve heard.

I was on the road a last year with the group touring the UK and it was great fun and I love going back and playing and singing it’s a lot of fun. I wouldn’t want to have to do it. And have to pound way at it year after year and go through the ups and downs. Touch wood I never had to do that.

Stories in the UK at the moment are about a similar band in its makeup, The Spice Girls one left two are now pregnant and they are down to 2. Should they replace them?

Pregnant from each other?

Should they knock it on the head and say it was great while it lasted. Like the Monkees, you said that there have been several reunions but you knew when to let it go.

Well in our case we had no choice. When the show went off the air, the cast, you know, that was the end of it. It was last Star Trek, after they filmed the last episode of Star Trek I don’t think Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner ran around chasing each other saying “Beam me up Scotty” “Ok Leonard, oh beam me up”.

It just did not happen. The Monkees was not a group. The Monkees was very unique. I don’t know how the Spice Girls was put together, I don’t know the story behind that. The Monkees was very unique. Nothing has happened like it since. The close’s thing to happen was Spinal Tap where fantasy imitating life-imitating art. The line between fantasy and reality is very thin there. And if you ask some other members of the cast of the Monkees they might give you very different stories about their take on it.

I’m giving you mine and the fact we went out on the road and actually played concerts to me is the equivalent of Leonard Nimoy actually becoming a Volcan.

Do you still all get on? Are you in communication with the others?

Yes we talk; but it’s like we didn’t grow up together. We didn’t live in each other’s houses. It was a professional relationship for the most part.

In you’re directing world, what are the things you absolutely love to get your hands on?

One of the Spice Girls. Anyone, push, updown, loaded spice, cardamom, cinnamon. I wonder if they get all that stuff “Hey you cinnamon spice”. “Monkee want a banana” – everyone thinks that’s so original.
TV or Movies – no I don’t have a preference, directing is a craft and I will direct anything as long as it’s good. I would rather direct a good a good sitcom than a bad movie. I’m interested in great script great actors. Then you can shoot it bon super 8 and its gonna works.

What are your favourite sit-coms? Like now on American TV. Because they come to us an year late

You mean new stuff that is coming out? Well do you have Just Shoot Me – I think that’s quite good, George Segal, That Seventies Show, South park, There’s quite a few new ones coming out this year that nobodys seen yet. SO I can’t tell you. But you don’t get them that far back. What about Everybody Loves Raymond – That’s real good.

The future guide to sit-coms from Micky Dolenz. He knows what he’s talking about.

Thanks for coming in.

I don’t know how many of you watched it, but in the new South Park this
week, they played “I’m a Believer”! I couldn’t believe it! It was during
the scene where the kids got that prostitute to help them get back at
their parents. If anybody missed it, it’ll be on again Saturday at 10
pm eastern time on Comedy Central. Just thought you might like to know,
in case you missed it.

Yet more reviews of Arthouse seen in UK papers/magazines.

The following was seen in the Evening Standards HOT TICKETS magazine 27
August 1998

HEY, HEY, WE’RE THE MONKEES
9pm Channel 4

Not quite sure as to the reasons behind Channel 4’s deluge of
Monkees-related documentaries (well two), but they’re quite entertaining.
This one is your basic, run-of-the-mill history of, with the aged Monkees
looking back to the wild and wacky days of falling over on beaches and
miming to Boyce and Hart songs.

ARTHOUSE
11.05pm Channel 4

Of the 500 men who auditioned for the Monkees, four were chosen. This is an
hilarious portrait of five that weren’t. While all are desperate to point
out that they were fortunate not to have been chosen, the sound of straws
being grasped at is almost deafening. Rodney is a timid DJ who appears to
be at the forefront of the campaign for more dead air. The highlight of his
life is visiting the International House of Pancakes. Bryan Maclean feels
he failed the audition because he was far too hip and has subsequently taken
to writing ‘spooky Christian music’ after a drugs overdose. Never mind the
‘Just Say No’ campaign, one look at this man and you’ll never go near an
aspirin again. More than anything else, this film shows the pathetic nature
of failure in Hollywood, and that the only people attracted to La-La Land in
the first place appear to have had their brains sucked out of their ears.

At 9pm UK time The Disney Documentary was shown – well 50 minutes of it.

They missed out bits including That Was Then, Justus and where Davy saiys
that Mike looks like he came out of the mountains. Otherwise it was a good
show that a lot of UK fans would not have seen.

The Arthouse programme has just finished at midnight here in the UK.

Here is a brief run down of what the programme was about:

It starts with the music of Daydream Believer, followed by Rodney
Bingenheimer saying he was into the pop scene and ran away from home to go
to Hollywood.

Eddie Foy – the casting agent said he didn’t know what he was doing.

Steve Blauners saw the idea for the Monkees and said go with it.

Eric De Torto from Boston didn’t go to many auditions. At the Monkees one
he sang “Havanagila”

Richard Laruso was signed to MGM Records in N.Y.. At the auditions he sang
a few songs and went back several times. He also tried out for Robin in
Batman and almost got the part.

Clip of Davys screen test shown

Del Ramas who is a pool table salesman now. Joined the New Society and
worked with Mike for two and a half years.

A clip of Mikes screen test

Del Ramas knew Mike got the part because he had a new car and had bought his
wife a chinchilla mini skirt.

I’m A Believer played

Brian Maclean who is a musician said that he was told to go to the audition
because the wage was $750 a week.

The idea was to cast acters who could play.

Eddie Foy had no recollection of Charles Manson auditioning, nor Stephen
Stills.

Steve Blauner – Now Steve Stills won’t talk about the Monkees but he was
there kissin arse with the rest of them.

A clip of Love singing “My Little Red Book”

Brian Maclean – It was difficult being famous, He did not know how he would
have lived through it if had became a Monkee.

Clip of Monkees 1967 UK visit

Rodney Bingenheimer – Davy Jones gave me my first legit job as a stand on
The Prince and The Pauper. After that he promoted Linda Ronstandt, Rod
Stewart and David Bowie. Then opened Rodneys English Disco on Sunset
Strip – it was the place to be.

Eric De Torso – In his heart he wanted to be pop singer. He recorded a
song that everyone told him would be a hit and it never came out. He was
tired of singing at night. So at a party one day he got chatting to a pool
cleaner and started his own business.

Richard Laruso – He was playing 3 shows a night, went through a lot of
changes incl. mid life crisis. he got tired of touring now sells paper to
banks, shops, markets etc.

Brian Maclean – was arrested, used drugs and was even invited to Sharon
Tates house the night Charles Manson killed her.

Clip of Billy Graham

Then Brian prayed and converted to Christianity

Rodney – in 1985 he played a lot of Monkees stuff on the radio and had them
in too talk on air. he wanted a GTO – made a record with Blondie and now owns
a GTO. He is shy – like Andy Warhol. he treats everyone equal. he would
speak to David Bowie the same way he would speak to a homeless person.

Del Ramas loved playing pool and now works for Best Billiards selling tables
and cues etc. He is also in the group The Association with his brother.
(They had a hit in 60’s with Windy) the groups been around so long because
the music is top dollar.

Richard Laruso is a stand in for Richard Gere.

Eric de Torto plays at private functions.

Richard Laruso was going for an audition as a Mafia Don in the film Kill
’em – he got it.

Brian Maclean is writing worship music. Its a sort of Celtic, spacey, no
guitar (spooky) Christian music.

Eddie Foy – Out of the 400 odd that auditioned around 20 are still in the
business.

Rodney – I owe it all to Davy Jones. He invented me.

Thats it for now. Hope this is of use to you

I was just watching VH1’s Behind the Music, 1968, and they played a short
snippet of “Daydream Believer” They didn’t say anything about the Monkees,
but at least they were recognized in the song. I don’t know if they do
tape delay on the west coast, or if anyone else has a chance to catch it,
but I thought I would at least try to pass this on. Sorry if it’s late.
