I quite liked the monkees part of my growing up was at a local pub which had a disco at the weekend the monkees was always a favourite.

I grew up with them too and find it a little sad. When I mentioned it to my business partner (25 yrs old) he said 'who? Legendary songs which if you have been to any karaoke bar you will have heard.

I think when show biz people in the public eye ,who we have known for all those years ,die , we become aware of our own mortality.

Well thats what the missus said, I think shes right . I have to say that many people of my generation were stunned when Elvis died . Forget the

sanitized, ex army, hollywood version, he took popular music by the throat and shook the hell out of it !!

I remember some performers being branded as unfashionable, not trendy, not "today" . This happened to The Monkees ( Fabricated Group etc) also to ABBA yet here in the future we see that their songs are still popular and are expertly crafted pop songs expertly performed.
