Title: Cheer up, Sleepy Jean Post by: Nebu on February 29, 2012, 10:20:57 AM I know that it's stupid that this makes me sad... but this was a part of my childhood.
Davy Jones Dies at 66 (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2012/02/monkees-singer-davy-jones-dies-report/) If nothing else, he may be responsible for David Bowie having the name he does.

RIP, DJ. Always liked him, or at least his public persona. Title: Re: Cheer up, Sleepy Jean Post by: Nebu on February 29, 2012, 10:44:12 AM Dirtnap Believer! I hate myself for laughing at that. Title: Re: Cheer up, Sleepy Jean Post by: Lantyssa on February 29, 2012, 11:03:34 AM Now I'm sad. I loved the Monkeys, and Davy was my favorite.
Title: Re: Cheer up, Sleepy Jean Post by: RhyssaFireheart on February 29, 2012, 11:15:45 AM Now I'm sad. I loved the Monkeys, and Davy was my favorite. This. Title: Re: Cheer up, Sleepy Jean Post by: Sky on February 29, 2012, 11:26:30 AM I loved the Monkeys Be honest. This is because of all the wookie posts, right?Title: Re: Cheer up, Sleepy Jean Post by: 01101010 on February 29, 2012, 11:34:00 AM Never liked this boy band's music or Davy's solo career. However, that is because it was never my cup of tea, musically speaking. They did have a huge following though, so godspeed little man.
Title: Re: Cheer up, Sleepy Jean Post by: Paelos on February 29, 2012, 12:15:03 PM Godspeed, fellow Monkey. :heartbreak:
Title: Re: Cheer up, Sleepy Jean Post by: Bunk on February 29, 2012, 12:43:33 PM This is sad. The Monkees was the first real music-tv show I can remember watching.
"Boy Band" or not, they had some hits that are still pretty catchy today. I shall now anoy my co-workers by playing some in tribute. :grin: *edit for bad spellings Title: Re: Cheer up, Sleepy Jean Post by: Bzalthek on February 29, 2012, 01:06:02 PM Quick! Check his locker!
*edit for bad spellings Keep trying RIP monkeyman. I used to love these guys as a kid. Title: Re: Cheer up, Sleepy Jean Post by: Abagadro on February 29, 2012, 05:58:26 PM They also let Hendrix open for them.
Title: Re: Cheer up, Sleepy Jean Post by: Selby on February 29, 2012, 07:09:15 PM 66 is too young, especially for someone who didn't exactly have any of the typical rock and roll vices. As I told my girlfriend "I dated someone almost that age!" and I was a big fan of them when I was young so it's hitting closer than a certain other celebrity who recently passed...
Title: Re: Cheer up, Sleepy Jean Post by: Slayerik on March 01, 2012, 08:04:02 AM They also let Hendrix open for them. My old man saw Hendrix open for the Beach Boys...both really weird combos. Title: Re: Cheer up, Sleepy Jean Post by: Sky on March 01, 2012, 08:06:44 AM Until this falls off the active posting, I'm going to have this stupid song stuck in my head.
Title: Re: Cheer up, Sleepy Jean Post by: HaemishM on March 01, 2012, 08:32:55 AM Loved that song. Yes, the Monkees were a formulaic band put together by record executives, but they still wrote some catchy tunes and were entertaining. Sad about his passing.
Title: Re: Cheer up, Sleepy Jean Post by: RhyssaFireheart on March 01, 2012, 10:01:05 AM Hey, I like this song!
My husband's cousin posted a message yesterday on his FB feed about this.. sorta: Quote Did you hear about the tragedy in music today? Am I going to hell for laughing at this? |
