Are real Monkees better than fake Beatles?

Morristown will find out on June 9, when the Monkees come to the Community Theatre.

It’s not quite the Pre-Fab Four.  Three-fourths of this made-for-TV group are playing: Mickey Dolenz, Davy Jones and Peter Tork.

How about a Twitter campaign to get Mike Nesmith back on board:

Michael: It’s time.  None of us are getting any younger.

Maybe Mark Ehrenkranz, impresario of the New York Film Critics series in Morristown, can spearhead this drive.  He worked for Michael Nesmith way back when on a TV show called Television Parts. Work those connections, Marky Mark!

A Beatles tribute band packed the Community Theatre last week. It will be interesting to see how Messrs. Dolenz, Jones and Tork do.

I caught their act in Vegas some time ago. They were entertaining.

For all the jokes about the Monkees, they sold a ton of catchy pop tunes: I’m a Believer, Pleasant Valley Sunday, Last Train to Clarksville, Daydream Believer, (I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone, Love is Only Sleeping, and on and on.

And they had some pretty cool lunch boxes, too.

Tickets are $57-$97 and go on sale March 4.
