current fan creation landscape is kinda like if you went to a party with a homemade cake and everyone takes a slice and silently thumbs up at you with no attempt to start a conversation except for occasionally some guy sits in the corner with a tape recorder critiquing the cake as though he was a restaurant critic and another guy is handing the cake to an uber driver like "yeah i need you to find a restaurant that makes cake like this so i can have more of it" and the only person that's talked to you in 30 minutes is a very sweet little guy who was like "hey i liked your cake" and then ran away apologizing for bothering you the moment you said thank you.
ANYTHING could happen in a cold open of The Monkees
Micky gets jumped, Peter makes a deal with the devil for a harp, Davy rescues a girl from drowning, Mike takes them to Texas on a lawn mower
well tell me, mr tv man, just where you make your moral stand?
Mike: *looking right at Peter* where’s Peter?
Davy: Did you know that your pupils gets bigger at things you like a lot? No kidding, pupil dilation regulates light intake, and your eyes taking in light is what makes you see, so you literally see things you like more than things you don’t because of pupil dialation! Isn’t that far out?
Peter, eyes blown out to saucers: Outta sight.
Peter: The secret to life is to always use more spinach and less rice than you think you’ll need.
Micky: The second secret to life is that fresh air, warm sun, and a cup of tea will make your problems small enough to start handling.
Davy: The third secret to life is that violence sometimes really is the answer.
“I actually adore David Jones. We don’t have a lot in common — it’s really amazing. [Micky] and I have a great deal in common and we’re pals, but I don’t have the same depth of feeling for him as I do Davy.”
“I kind of fell in love with Davy Jones.”
“My heart connection is biggest with Davy. Davy is capable of as much heart as anyone I’ve ever met. I kind of had a crush on Davy for a while.”
“Davy actually kinda got my heart.”
“I love and respect each of these guys in their own way, although the real joys that I shared with Davy were special. [. . .] He was the one member in the group that I had the strongest human connection with.”
“What I don’t often say is that I loved David the most.”
I wasn't aware of this one, so I'm trying to spread the word.
Micky: I dare you to tell us a secret.
Peter: Okay, I’m… in love with Davy.
Davy: He said a secret, Peter.
Footage from the 1980s and 2010s.
“Peter was really a sweet person, a gentle person, and would always look you in the eye and want to talk about things. Peter was much more emotional, and gentle, and he — you know, I’m sure we hugged many times, he was a hugger, he was a really lovely soul.” - Barbara Hamaker, The Monkees Pad Show no. 4 (x)
