What sad news, always liked the Monkees. They were a product of more innocent times, RIP Davy Jones, you gave a lot of pleasure to so many people who were "Daydream Believers"

At least he lived a life and did not die drugged up and in a bath and yet everyone goes potty about a drug fuelled diva.

RIP Davy!!

I've just played 'I'm A Believer' on my guitar as my own little tribute to Davy: 'They say that love is only true in fairytales - maybe for someone else but not for me!' - Etcetera.



How the girlies loved him - also probably a coupla three poofters that he never knew about, too!

I was saddened to read of Davy's death, my brother and I were big fans of the Monkees in our youth, their music still brings a smile to my face. R.I.P. Davy.

Riddles, as you should know, like time age is relative... that's why your relatives always seem to age faster than you... until one looks in the mirror... :(

Sad news. Mickey Dolenz was my favourite - I had a "free" poster of him (which was the middle pages of "jackie" magazine/comic) on my bedroom wall.........

Oh Riddles we loved them all, yes they were manufactured like the spice girls but it was so refreshing for us young girls then. My fav music now is opera Im brainwashed being married to an italian however I loved the show and I did love that cheeky chappie and of course all you mention and many more. We were so lucky x
