Played folk guitar/banjo etc. for 10 years before becoming a Monkee. He could also play keys pretty well and bass. He ended up playing a lot of stuff on their later albums (the Monkees' members were always talented musicians, it's a total fucking fake bullshit that they didn't play on their early albums "because they didn't know how to." They were essentially ordered to let session musicians come in, and for your first album, they didn't have a lot of rights - yet.) Dolenz grew up playing guitar, Jones had an impressive stage career as a singer in musicals, and of course Nesmith speaks for himself. They were as talented as almost any group back in the late 60's. But they were already doomed as teen pop stars, although some of their later stuff was pretty cool. Anyway, RIP, Mr. Thorkleson. You made a lot of people really happy to be alive. I was one of them. Cheer up, PHD. Oh what can it mean? To a Frankie believer, and a storm tracking king.

He was in that doc "The Wrecking Crew" and talked about how he brought his guitars and equipment in to record the album, only to be told he wasn't playing. He didn't seem too upset, he said those guys were badasses but I bet he was pretty salty when it happened and I wouldn't blame him.

I imagine that in show business, the main point is about being paid for a gig. If they want to pay you while others play, I’m sure most are happy about it.

Saw him on a SXSW comedy show in 2010 or 11. He had a strange act where he just insulted the crowd in how much better he was than all of us. It fell fairly flat but I recall some of the other comedians were falling down laughing. Had forgotten his name but his act was memorable.
February 25, 20196 yr This one almost slipped by. RIP Boss Godfrey. Longtime friends of actor, pilot, and all around cool cowboy Morgan Woodward are reporting his death today at age 93. Appeared on Star Trek twice, was Elder Morgan on Logan's Run and over 200 appearances on film/TV. Woodward was born in Fort Worth in 1925. In 1948, he graduated from North Texas Agriculture College and was named a UTA Distinguished Alumni in 1969.
February 26, 20196 yr Beverly Owen died today. First Marilyn Munster. Pat Priest took over season 2: She's still kicking but not like that. Only she and Eddie are still alive from the regular cast. Anyway, RIP Marilyn 1.

March 7, 20196 yr I believe wishing death on a poster is a bannable offense. What that rule didn’t consider was a poster wishing the sweet release of it on himself.
