Yeah, this is one of those “is she really that old?” posts.

Davy Jones died today. I was a few years short of being a teenager when The Monkees were huge stars. I don’t think that Davy was my first crush. That honor probably belongs to Adam Faith. But I do remember the Monkees TV show with a great deal of fondness. And for a manufactured band they were surprisingly good (at least in part because of the top quality song writers they worked with).

Here’s Davy and the boys being their usual goofy selves.

Yes kids, people really did dress like that in the Sixties.
