I liked him, mostly because he seemed to have a good head on his shoulders.

Was never a Monkees kind of guy. I feel bad when people shuffle off this mortal coil and all, but I was pretty surprised by the outpouring on this one.

I used to watch Monkees reruns on TV when I was a kid. I liked them a lot.

Not as much as the girl I knew in college who had their logo tattooed in red on her forearm, though. It was her only ink; apparently they had to go over it three times to get the color right. She was a nutball about Davy. I bet she's a wreck today.

R.I.P., Mr. Jones. You made a Daydream Believer out of me.

It's always sad when someone dies, but two days of Monkees earworms is sad too.

Like JL I watch the Monkees reruns and liked them a lot.  I'm not really feeling an sentimentality over this one though.  It's okay to hear "Daydream Believer" again, but once or twice is enough.

Although I was the perfect age to watch the Monkees television show when it originally aired I only have vague recollections of ever doing so.  I watched them as reruns in the 80s.  It was alright.  I loved the music growing up.  Still do, but I'm gonna love any well crafted, Beatles inspired pop music, of course.

I have an internet friend who is gaga for Davy and I know she's in serious mourning right now.

I have another friend that posted a photo of the back pocket of her jeans she had Davy sign back in the 90s.  She told him to write "I got your pleasant valley."  Ha ha...

Goodbye Mr. Jones.

My first concert was The Monkees (sans Mike) at Wolftrap in the 90s. I'd make a 7A reference, but Jough beat me to it
