Is he gonna have a burial at sea? Then they can truly refer to it as Davy Jones' locker. :lame:


Seriously, though, this is sad. I can't say I'm a huge Monkees fan, but I'm A Believer is a good, cheerful song that I like.

R.I.P. Davy :hatsoff:

I always loved The Monkees. I've always defended them as being a better band than they got credit for.

Bye, Davy.

I have to agree. They were one of the original boy bands and they were talented. Although I wasn't a huge fan, I can dig some of their work.

Very sad.

That sucks. I liked a lot of their songs and I did watch reruns of the show. Pretty funny stuff.

Marsha Brady is probably devastated. I kind of like "Daydream Believer." Plus, they were a major influence on the Beatles.

IIRC, my first-ever concert was the 20th anniversary tour...never got to see them a second time...RIP, Davy

He always seemed to be a cheerful fellow, look how excited he is in making this cameo at a U2 show. I don't follow U2 but apparently The Edge sings this song at their concerts. Rest in peace, Mr Jones
