A Few of The Best Monkees Stories Ever
Inspired by A Few of The Best Beatles Stories Ever.
Iāve combined all of your submissions and a few of my own to make a list of The Monkee fandomās favorite Monkees Stories of ALL TIME.
Iāve been meaning to post this list for over a year, and it seems fitting to post it today in conjunction with thank-your-lucky-starsā Monkees Awards question for today.
BEST MONKEES STORIES
Mike Nesmith yelling āthat couldāve been your face motherfuckerā and punching a hole in a wall, when Herb Moelis and Don Kirshner wouldnāt let the Monkees play their own instruments on their album.
Micky Dolenz gallantly making a tourniquet for Cynthia Plaster Caster after she sliced her hand while trying to open up a can of dental alginates to use to make Peter Torkās plaster cast. (Unfortunately this injury made it impossible to cast Peter that day)
Peter Torkās mile high orgies on their plane during the 1967 tour and his orgy organizer button which he wore during the second season of the Monkeesā television show.
Davy Jones plowing through the studio gate with his car when the guard refused to let him in because of his ālongā hair/not believing Davy worked there.
Mike Nesmithās Cincinnati (Cleveland?) prank with the elevator that almost got the guys trampled by thousands of fans until they jumped into a police car.
Peter Tork telling the draft board that he was gay to get out of going to Vietnam.
Micky Dolenz tripping balls in Hyde Park at 7 in the morning and singing songs to a couple hundred schoolkids until Jack Nicholson and Bob and Bert and the cops show up and when they finally make a run for it, everybody gets trampled.
Peter Tork and Davy Jones getting into a knockout, drag down fight on the set of the show, with Davy giving Peter a ānutterā and Peter subsequently punching Davy, who then had to get stitches.
Two Mexican federal agents handing Mike Nesmith a million dollarsā worth of marijuana in a brown paper sack as an apology after the agents took his camera away because he took photos of a student demonstration.
A member of the Monkees entourage hiding Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones in the Monkeesā hotel in England after he was busted for drugs.
Two seventeen-year-old girls bribing pizza delivery guys for their outfits to deliver pizza to the Monkeesā hotel room.
Mike Nesmith sending John Lennon a telegram that ended with āGod is Love, Mike Nesmith.ā
Davyās salad story
When Mike had a party with a houseful of people and asked Davy if he wanted to go get a burger. Davy declined, but later learned Mike left his own party to hop on his private jet and fly to get his favorite burger just cos he had it like that.
The time when Micky was invited to the recording of Sgt. Pepper and he thought it was going to be some big psychedelic party so he shows up all crazy in paisley print bell bottoms and like tie-dyed underwear in the middle of the day, and he just finds the Beatles sitting all calm in folding chairs.
The game of āKiller,ā that required the actors, producers, some of the inner-circle to play-act a spectacular death scene on demand.
The Monkees nearly sabotaging their own show before it could even begin, by invading the network affiliatesā dinner at Chasonās restaurant.
The pilot of the Monkees Express having to come on the PA system on the plane, asking some of the passengers enjoying the party-pit in the rear of the plane to please come forward so he could get the nose down.
Micky getting mobbed while doing his Christmas shopping.
Bert Schneider sitting in the audience at the Cow Palace, seeing his band on stage for the first time and not quite believing what he had created.Raybert scoring the lowest rated pilot in the history of the networkāand figuring out how to fix it.
That girl that mailed herself to Davy
Davy flying to a hospital in Phoenix to visit two little girls who had been hit by a car when they were out buying Monkees albums
Spending a weekend locked in a hotel with Jack Nicholson and drugs to write Head.
Micky building that scale model plane in his living room, then having to disassemble it because he couldnāt get it out the door.
