I feel like a special part of my childhood has died.
I now feel so lucky to have seen all four Monkees perform live in 1967. Yes, at that point, they had already played their own instruments and they were quite good since I'm sure they couldn't hear them selves play with all those girls screaming. RIP Davy... :cry:

I was born in '67, and you saw them play live that year? Well, you just dated yourself. :wink:

PLEASE don't ask that question in your English class (or any class for that matter).
