Me: Is it weird if I see someone and think “she looks just like Davy’s daughter?”
My mom & brother: Yes.
I like how this fact about Davy Jones was OCR’d:

Micky poses with pop newcomer Cat Stevens, pop regular Cliff Richard and model Samantha Juste (he later dated “Sam”–but don’t cry, t’weren’t nothin’ serious).
Me at all my birthday parties.
You know how sometimes, you see a guy walking down the street, and you’re like ha ha, he’s got a hat like Micky Dolenz?
And then you’re like… wait… that is Micky Dolenz?
Yeah, that happened to me.
You guys know what Zero really is, right? Constantly turning up in different costumes to pester our heroes?
Now before you start thinking that Mr. Kirshner was obviously some kind of nut…
On the King for a Day CD, “Crying in the Rain” is credited to King/Greenfield… and also to Warwar/Harris/Kerr/Cartagena. These are the names of the people who wrote “The Fugitive” by Iron Maiden. I don’t hear any interpolation of “The Fugitive” in Micky’s version of “Crying in the Rain”; I think it would be quite obvious if it was there.
It might just be someone having a laugh, because Micky Dolenz is credited with “lead and background vocals, acoustic guitar, knee and stomach slaps”.
My brother and I were playing Rock Band, and I turned the vocal track off and the microphone up and proceeded to murder “Last Train to Clarksville”. When the song was over, my brother turned to me and said:
My brother: Hey, you remember that time you were at a Monkees concert, and it was after Davy died, so they had people come up on stage and sing “Daydream Believer”? And you remember how you wanted to do it?
Me: …shut up.
