The Monkees
Beacon Theater
June 16th

We saw Davy Jones’ sassy solo show 2 years ago and Micky Dolenz kick it at Coney Island last summer (sharing a bill with the Beach Boys + John Stamos, The Turtles, and Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere of the Raiders… wow, that was quite a mammoth oldies bash, eh?).  Both of them concerts were sirprizingly beyond solid nostalgia trips filled with that oh so sweet and manufactured Monkees sound.  Well, what would it be like then to see them play together, with Peter Tork added for plenty of good measure (Mike Nesmith took another pass on a reunion cash grab, since he’s swimming in Liquid Paper money)?  Uh, how bout helllllaa sweet awesome rad super mint???!!!  Ells yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Even though they played a bunch of songs that rewarded the more dedicated fan, Davy, Micky & Petey totally gave the people what they wanted – the greatest hits (luckily for us all, they didn’t play ‘DW Washburn’) and a whole lot of fun(ny).  Could you ask for anything more?  Well, we did want them to play ‘Porpoise Song’ for 3 hours straight, but you can’t always get what you want, right?  Well, sometimes, but not this time!

It’s amazing to think that we have only 2 Beatles left on earth, but still got all four Monkees.  Sh%t is crazy like that, but we muss celebrate the living while we still have them with us, even if they is fake Beatles.  Do yourself a favor and support old peoples like these guys and other old peoples (Brian Wilson!!!) who can still kick out the jams (although we still refuse to see Bob Dylan play)

a question for you…

what happens when The Monkeemobile loses its wheel?

Brian Wilson
Wellmont Theater, in NJ!!!
June 9th

Q: so, Thighmaster (or is it Thigh Master?) how was yer 2nd ever Brian Wilson show (in NJ!)?

A: we believe this picture speaks a thousand volumes of how it went…

ten bajillion bonus points of awesomeness for being able to shake Mr Wilson’s hand after the show, and telling him that he was the best.  this isn’t a lie, cause him and we both have hands AND he IS the best

Brian Wilson co-owned & operated a health food store called The Radiant Radash, which closed after only a year of ‘operation’

wait, what?

the second picture was taken by Annie Leibovitz for Rolling Stone in 1970

and here’s one Annie took of Brian in 2000

ever hear some curious audio clip in a song and wonder where the forksticks that came from, and then one day, BLAM-O, you finally finger out where it came from???

um, yeah, that very dang thing happened when we watched the opening credits to Dennis Hopper’s incredible Out of The Blue (currently playing this week at NY’s Anthology Film Archives) and hearing lil Linda Manz CBing that ‘disco sucks’ and to…

KILL ALL HIPPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND THEN WEES WAS LIKE, OH MY DONG DAWG, THAT’S THE AUDIO CLIP USED IN THE INTRO TO Primal Scream’s ‘Kill All Hippies [d]!!!!!!!!!!
