That's odd because pretty much all of the Monkee's kept going in music to some extent. Peter Tork and Davy Jones probably the most.

I blame lovely memory. Also the guy who was talking, I think Micky Dolenz, came across as a massive dickweed who may well have just been lording his career in the movie industry over his one time bandmates.

Really it was just the final scene which stuck in my head and the words "Shut up and just play the song".



EDIT - and I found the clip and boy did I misremember a bunch of stuff. From the documentary Making the Monkees:

Davy Jones though still comes across as just pathetically trying to relive past glories.


(I was right about Micky Dolenz being a massive dickweed, so that counts)

My school had an annual concert, and in 2003 they decided to pick...Better Than Ezra, who'd last released an album anyone heard anything off of in 1996. The concert was canceled after not enough tickets sold.

The replacement act was Busta Rhymes, which by any thinking is a much better get.

Reminds me of my favourite 90s band joke.

What if Less Than Jake was Better Than Ezra? :v:

Puddle of Mudd (I know, I can't believe they're still around either) abandons their lead singer on stage, so he starts on some rant. Unfortunately I can't find a video of them actually leaving the stage. Also, some annoying rear end in a top hat just keeps yelling "gently caress you" so it's hard to hear what the singer is saying.

Wow this happened again last week when they played at the Diamond Lounge in my town. They were average, at best.

Before we engage we should hang back and study their tactics.

Haven't we had enough loving debates this election year? Who gives a poo poo if she or Trump don't want to debate anymore before the conventions. They all just say the same god drat things every time.

The real schadenfreude is anyone who's made it this far in this election and doesn't know who they support.

Last summer I saw Warrant and Quiet Riot play at a free show in Fayetteville, NC. It was actually a lot of fun. I guess the schaden was realizing Quiet Riot had more than one song and also had some die hard fans

Selecting him for layoff based on poor performance sounds like a questionable decision, as does accounting (not HR/legal?) ordering up a background check and sharing the results widely, but the guy does sound like a jerk.

If he lives in a "right-to-work" state, they don't need a compelling reason to fire him. "Right-to-work" is a bullshit term.

I think you mean an "at will" state, but there is still a difference between laying someone off and firing them. "Right to work" only affects payment of union dues by non-members.

I could never decide if Mike Nesmith should be lauded for sticking to his principles as a 'real musician' and having nothing more to do with the group; or whether he is a complete dick for never giving the fans anything, once he'd filled his pockets from the short-term fame.

Charges dropped as the prosecutor pushing for getting a confirming look at the kid's junk was forced to resign, AIUI.

EDIT: I was wrong. Two separate cases involving sexting, though:

Yep. Multiple cases. You'd think that if you were a juvenile and hence unable to be judged as an adult you'd be considered too young to be held criminally accountable for your actions, but it turns out nope, you can! Because the right way to correct a teenager who makes a dumb teenage mistake is to give them sex offender tags that will follow them around for life.
