Heh... good ole Mickey Dolenz, glomming onto the frazzled shreds of fame that he only wish he had.
Hendrix was (incredibly) booked to play with the Monkees by his manager. His goofball error has become something of a legend in the annals of popular music lore.
In the end, smarter people got The Experience out of that commitment. They never played on the same bill with the Monkees.
I'm glad you corrected my anecdote, I had no idea Dolenz was stretching; I won't use it again. Thank you!
