Davy Jones... Can't Post or Reply Privately

Now on the last train to Clarksville sadly. They [the Monkees] may have
been the forerunner of modern day manufactured boy/girl bands but at
least they could sing live and knocked out a few memorable songs too.

Once told me to f**k off (followed by the name Brian) in a pub in Dublin. My bizarre claim to fame. He was enjoying a quiet meal which became less quiet after I told all and sundry of his presence.

My bizarre claim to fame involves Davy Jones too! In 1984, he lived on my newspaper round in a rather modest terraced house opposite his horse stables in Bedhampton, near Havant. One day, while delivering his copy of the Daily Express, his black labrador came bounding toward me in a rather over-familiar manner, at which point I ran through Davy Jones' front garden flowerbeds into the safety of the neighbour's porch while the hound slobbered away outside the window. Davy Jones himself came to the rescue, collected his newspaper with a grin, and brushed away my attempted apologies for semi-destroying his garden without a 'f**k off' in sight.

A nice bloke.

I saw him play football - for a "Showbiz XI" against Hastings United at the Pilot Field some time in the mid-1970s.

At least I think I did; he's named in the match programme anyway, although my dim memory of such games is that all sorts of people are named in the programme, but the reality is usually a bunch of people who are anything but 'showbusiness personalities'. And not an "F**k Off" in sight that I recall.

Could have been 'The Dame' of the same name, but not sure
that Bowie ever kicked those types of balls in anger....

'Daydream Believer' was a classic 'Pop' song and
'Alternate Title' very left field for its time.
However, the TV progs were crap with three Yanks
and a Brit going all Benny Hill, not a good idea.

Agree.

I was waiting in a queue to be seen in our local hospital A&E department when he comes in after suffering what appeared to be an arm injury and despite the nurses and doctors attention to fawn over him and let him jump the queue, he refused to take the preferential treatment being offered and waited in line just like everyone else.

No one could accuse the TV progs of being high quality.

However, memory is that they were amusing and better than the other crap aired at the time.

Hm, a manufactured group. I wonder what happened to that idea?!

"Hey, Hey, we're The Monkees!"

Have to admit to being very surprised at how good they were in concert when I saw the band play at what was then The Empire Pool, Wembley. It was on July 2nd, 1967 and the support acts were Lulu and a group called The Echoes. They performed together, of course, but also had individual spots in the show where specific talents, musical as well as comic, could be featured. The James Brown leaving the stage routine was especially memorable! For me, Mike Nesmith was the best musician while Davy Jones & Mickey Dolenz captured the comedy plaudits.

Eleven years after this, I got to meet Jones & Dolenz at The Mermaid Theatre and both were totally charming.

By the way, I still have the original programme & ticket stub from the '67 concert. No intention of eBaying them though!

I haven't seen them live (never got the chance unfortunately- it must be a great experience) but I can imagine that they ere important orf the development of modern music nowadays. Their songs are awesome no matter how old you are or what kind of music you seem to prefer normally. Their music reminds me of times where boys got flowers delivered by post to their girls to show them their appreciation and love.. who would do that today?
