o is for '...okay, whatever.'


yeah, i admit, the o's are proving pretty difficult for me, so you're going to see a lot of 'reaching' entries. like, just tonight, i found this extremely groovy and unintentionally hilarious shot of davy 'the wave' jones wearing some kind of large and supposedly accurate native american headdress. he's from manchester, england. but i gotta admit, it looks good on him. i mean, i'm not gonna lie... at his peak, davy jones was a pretty good-looking guy. and he's still 'working it,' on stage, i mean, as part of the remaining monkees. but it appears this shot was taken at some late 60's rock festival. i know micky dolenz was at monterey pop, so maybe that's where this shot was taken. i've always loved that style of indian headdress. i know it sounds odd, but there aren't many people it looks goofy on. like, its surprisingly easy to 'pull off,' as a 'look.' where ever davy is in this shot, he looks happy. i suppose the 'treats' were 'prime,' if you know what i mean. one thing that sucks about being a modern monkees fan; now days, ever since 'pirates of the carribbean,' when you google 'davy jones,' you get about 13 pages of that squid-faced guy before you reach even one shot of 'the Wave.'

What a great observation about the Indian head dress. You're so right about that, it is a surprisingly flattering look. Makes me wish I had one.
