a is for artful


keeping with the alphabetic theme, a is also for 'the artful dodger.' i realize most people associate the part with the diminutive and talented jack wild from the motion picture 'oliver!' but here on 'the planet' i've chosen to feature the original artful dodger from the early 60's london stage, mr. davy jones. it almost seems like the part was written with him in mind. look at that face, boys and girls. if he'd been just a little older he might've gotten himself snagged by those famous liverpudlians rather than the pre-fab and very fabulous Monkees. this is a particularly nice shot, i mean its clean and clear and all that. i tricked it a little bit to bring out the contrast, but not much. hey, i love davy 'the wave' jones, and i don't care who knows it. the Monkees were and are like, 100% cooler than most people realize. consider yourself welcome to dig it!
