The Monkees TV series debuted on September 12th, 1966; I caught on not long after that, which means I've been a Monkees fan for nearly 50 years myself. This week, we celebrate 50 YEARS OF THE MONKEES with solo tracks, covers of Monkees songs, original versions of songs The Monkees covered, a Monkees tribute track by The Minus 5 (from their album Of Monkees And Men), and maybe a few songs we wish The Monkees woulda covered (like Rosanne Cash's "Pink Bedroom" [written by John Hiatt], The Flashcubes' "Make Something Happen" [written by Gary Frenay], and Neil Diamond's "Solitary Man"[written by...um, Neil Armstrong. Yeah. It gets lonely on the moon]). But mostly, we celebrate with the music of Micky, Davy, Peter, and Michael. Three hours ain't nearly enough! Ladies and gentlemen, THE MONKEES!!
To read more of what I have to say about The Monkees, check out the speech I would give if I were to induct The Monkees into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame: http://carlcafarelli.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-monkees-welcome-to-rock-and-roll.html
