I actually had a strange liking of his very '60s Tapioca Tundra, and his mom invented Liquid Paper.

I believe it was 1967 that the Monkees sold more albums in the USA than any other artist. They were that popular in that era.

Yup. My understanding is that he was the most musically talented of the bunch. OK. He had that silly stocking cap. But still....

Oh no! He was great.

Saw him open for the band Lambchop a few years ago.
