“The Monkees were like a 1960's
Backstreet Boys but different because the corporate machine had never
really been set in motion on a scale like that before. The Monkees were
smart, though, and realized they were super cheezy. From then on they
demanded to write and perform on their own stuff and gave up (some of
their) fame and fortune to make their own music. I really respect that and
think some of their best stuff came from when they were trying to find
themselves. For Pete's Sake and Randy Scouse Git are my
favorites and they were both written by Monkees. I think Mickey Dolenz's
daughter is really hot, too.”
