Frankly, he was my 4th favorite Monkee


Nonetheless, it's a little sad to learn Davy Jones died today. The Monkees' ouevre is much maligned, but stands up very well as an example of well-crafted 60s-era post-British Invasion pop. I'm not only not embarassed to be a Monkees fan, but take a perverse pride in my acquaintance with cuts deep into their catalog (largely acquired during high school, of course).

Yup: I'm still a believer.
