The surviving members of the Monkees: Mickey Dolenz, Mike Nesmith, and Peter Tork, will go on a 12 date tour, without the late, Davey Jones. I’m sure the rest of the guys are doing this in honor of Davey ’cause this is what Davey would have wanted, for those guys to continue on with the Monkees. I think it would be pretty cool to see them. I’ve always been a Monkees fan myself.
See their tour dates, here.

When I was a child, it was the Monkees that was one of the first that got me into music. I was obsessed with their TV show and would watch it all the time in the old days. Davy Jones has always been my favorite Monkee out of the 4. As a child, I would play their music all the time, and would sing their songs all the time. They were a childhood inspiration of mine, even though they were a fictional band for a TV show. I loved the Monkees as a kid and still do this day.
I believe it’s time for me to start learning a song by the Monkees for my next video tribute. What song should I do? I’m thinking of doing, “Daydream Believer”, the one that Davy sings.
RIP Davy. I’m totally bummed. 😦

Getting any kind of cancer sucks, no matter what it is. Get well soon, Peter!
I loved the Monkees as a kid!
