The Monkees

Bugger - he was a kid the last time I looked...sad to see.

The band were better than they could have been. Sadly that isn't saying a lot.

I was lucky enough to meet him (along with Micky and Peter) a couple of times, and he was a sweetheart.

He had the moves!

Actually, Mike is my favourite. When he goes, I'll be a wreck.

I'm really glad I got to see them with my sister this last July. She just messaged me, I knew she would be very sad

[Bella Fortuna]

All the lovely people. Where do they all come from?

So many lovely and heartfelt messages of condolence and sympathy, I don’t know what to say, except my sincere thank you to all. I share and appreciate your feelings.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves here.

While it is jarring, and sometimes seems unjust, or strange, this transition we call dying and death is a constant in the mortal experience that we know almost nothing about. I am of the mind that it is a transition and I carry with me a certainty of the continuity of existence. While I don’t exactly know what happens in these times, there is an ongoing sense of life that reaches in my mind out far beyond the near horizons of mortality and into the reaches of infinity.

That David has stepped beyond my view causes me the sadness that it does many of you. I will miss him, but I won’t abandon him to mortality. I will think of him as existing within the animating life that insures existence. I will think of him and his family with that gentle regard in spite of all the contrary appearances on the mortal plane.

David’s spirit and soul live well in my heart, among all the lovely people, who remember with me the good times, and the healing times, that were created for so many, including us.

I have fond memories. I wish him safe travels.

I never mentioned that Mike was sitting at a table next to us in Spain one night, did I?

I didn't even know it was him. Thought it was just some sugar-daddy. My uncle told me after he left. I was like, why wouldn't you tell me that?

There's a weird thing in ireland where most people think it's rude to annoy celebrities by approaching them. That and I don't think the begrudging bastards want to give them a 'big head'.

[Bella Fortuna]

You sure? I read something he wrote recently about being near-blind.

Unless it was Tinker from Lovejoy



He had an air of some sort of importance about him.

[Animavore]

Oh sorry. That was Mick, wasn't it?

[Bella Fortuna]

OK, not so jealous now.

Trivia: Neil Young played on some of their songs, and Stephen Stills was almost in the band.

They were of course the first 'boy band'.

That was The Beatles. Don't worry. People always get them mixed
