goin' down


i realized today that three days ago (i think) was micky dolenz's birthday. i can't remember how old it said he was, but i didn't want to let an event like that slip by unmarked. i must admit, i have enjoyed endless hours of safe, groovy, carefree fun thanks to the Monkees. micky, (or 'the micker' as i call him almost exclusively) always cracks me up, and reminds me that life shouldn't be taken too seriously. but he can be serious, too. his agile mysterious vocals on such tracks as the nesmith-penned 'daily nightly' are unique and strident. his soaring starring role in the classic 'pleasant valley sunday' is bright vocal pop gold. so here's to 'the micker,' ...always cool.
