The Monkees were squeaky clean all right. But from time to time they could rock as well as anyone. Well, probably not as well as The Stones, Hendrix, or Zappa.

You're right. They had a couple of pretty good songs, as I recall. Yet they were by and large a media creation... :) gw

Oh I love The Rolling Stones, and I was glad to meet Mick Jagger in Montauk, NY some years ago...

At first I didn’t know who he was I was saying hello to until I was told he was the famous Jagger. After then he became one of my fave singer... Lol!

Now there's a meeting to remember... although you're nowhere near old enough to have met Jagger in Montauk, NY. Right?! ... Music and Laughter, Gershon
