It’s Me Micky Dolenz I Need Money To Afford A Dark Magic Ritual To Revive The Monkees And Go On Tour

Dunno if I ever posted this!

JAY LENO: Who was the best cuddler?

RINGO: Ohhh. Georgie loved a hug.

“We’d walk down Lilly Lane which was like a lovers’ lane and kiss and cuddle.” - Iris Caldwell 

“He was just standing there. Little George, all lost. I gave him a big bag of sweets and some apples. He threw his arms around me and Stu, which was the sort of demonstrative thing they never did.’" - Astrid Kirchherr

“George giving me a bear hugggg. My first time in London and…what a welcome!!! ‘It’s Klaus!’ George Harrison called, setting his guitar aside and walking toward me to give me a firm hug.” - Klaus Voormann

“I was surprised to see how affectionate he was with Olivia, holding hands, heads touching as they talked, snuggling up next to her at every opportunity…” - Chris O’Dell

“Olivia was in the room and asked Madeleine her name. The next thing [Madeleine] knew, George was walking across the room directly to her, and as if they were old friends, put his arms around her! She was so overwhelmed and she automatically put her arms around him and hugged him back.” - A fan

“Even hugging George was a psychedelic experience, what a gem of a man. Love him forever.” - Dave Stewart

“George was the kind of guy who wasn’t going to leave until he hugged you for five minutes and told you how much he loved you.” - Tom Petty

“Just a few months after his death, I was in Bungalow 8, a New York club that Paul Shaffer dragged me to, when I noticed a skinny fellow who was the spitting image of George - only young George - coming right toward me. Before I could say anything this young man embraced me in a tender hug and then pulled back to explain himself. ‘I’m Dhani Harrison,’ he said. ‘One of the last things my father told me was that if I ever come across people who were important to him, I should give them a hug.’” - Martin Short

Just a sketch of petah noticing the scent of other monkees!

Cute? idk

It is kinda insane how wild the Monkees are when you look into it. They were hired for a TV show but started an internal revolution where they kicked out their music supervisor to have control of their own music. They made a movie deconstructing their image and Hollywood in general. Their music spanned several genres including some very experimental stuff that would influence later music. They met and befriended the Beatles. They wrote and/or directed some of their episodes. One of them is the son of the woman who invented liquid paper (white-out) and then he would go on to basically invent MTV before he sold the concept to those who made MTV. They have some of the first music videos. They fucked. One of them even was known for his orgies. They sometimes hated each other but still loved each other as brothers. There is an FBI file on them allegedly spreading communist and anti-american propaganda at their concerts. They had a song that had to have its lyrics changed because it was too intensely political, even alluding to JFK’s assassination not being done by Lee Harvey Oswald in 1969. Their TV show was revolutionary in structure and content. Disney stars and boy bands would not exist without them. They had Jimi Hendrix open for them. One of them was a member of the Hollywood vampires. And that isn’t even all.

And yet most people don’t take them seriously.

Good morning everybody! it’s time to say that

TODAY IS WEIRD GIRL WEDNEZDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please let it sink into your mind this week

that she (michael. yes, nesmith. that one ⬆️)

is weird…

God…… she’s just….. she’s just so…. eugh…. weird.

a weird girl.

Of course the 15 year old that Sean spilled his guts out to over DM about his inheritance and his parents shit made Yuri on Ice/McLennon comparison posts. Never change Beatles lore.

Their matching accessories 💚

So The Chaperone is my fav ep in part because of the Dolenzmith undercurrents of Mike seeming pretty smitten/teasing the whole ep

But I also like it because it feels like homage to Some Like it Hot...and is still Dolenzmithy in the way it does that:

-Musician(s) needing to dress up as women

-Micky having a similar outfit/style that Jerry/Daphne has at one point

Also having a similar personality of being a rough-around-the-edges 'for a lady' kind of 'girl' that makes the rich older man obsessed.

-Notable: this sparkly-dress is also the outfit both get engaged in.

-also notable that both specifically call the respective older man 'fresh' at least once for making physical advances.

so the DIFFERENCE?

At the end, with the potential happily ever after-- Jerry calls into question sailing off together. He rips off his own wig and declares he's a man. Osgood doesn't give a fuck and they potentially stay married, rich and happy.

Meanwhile, the one who puts a stop to Micky's 'sailing away together' daydream is Mike saying 'Micky will you please tell him?'

And it's Vandenberg who rips off Micky's wig.

And Mike who Micky's with after the 'reveal'.

Like okay.
