Nesmith seems stoned. Wasn’t he the “smart” Monkee?

Zappa is much more engaging and eloquent. Why didn’t he have a television show?

everything needed to stop it is being done.

We told the mentally ill to stop sticking their peckers into other men’s exit holes.

It’s that simple.

It’s going to be interesting to see how many NBA, MLB and MFL players come down with the Monkeypox. Not to mention how many Flying Monkeys Clintoon is going to lose from her army.

Just like the AIDS outbreak in the 1980s could be traced back to a homo gathering on Fire Island NY.

They wanted AIDS spread to the general public to get the CDC to begin working on vaccines for the homos. So they tainted the blood supply.

Mike believed The Monkees should write and record songs written by themselves instead of by the pop writers of the day.
By the mid point of season 2 everybody was stoned. Bob Rafelson and the band started moving that band and the show twards psychedelic sound and style. Sgt Pepper’s dropped a few days before and eclipsed The Monkee’s psycadelic album was released.
Zappa was a non-conformist avant guard performer.that the suits really accepted or promoted.
Their movie Head (written by Raphelson and Jack Nicholson) was kind of a swansong and stuck their finger in the eye of the establishment.

They started a misinformation campaign to convince Americans that anyone can get it.

LOL - “Rent” / “Team America” reference. Love it!

Like AIDs, no discussion at all about individuals modifying their behavior, given the known primary transmission vector.

Shouldn't the government be applying the same dictatorial policy it applied during Covid--contact tracing, phone apps, forced vaccination of populations, limiting travel, etc.

Or is it because the disease is primarily in one segment of the population that is a "protected class" that dictatorship doesn't apply?

The answer is pretty obvious to me.

Keep private parts properly contained and do not expect my tax dollars to fund your hobby. You broke moral law—not my responsibility to fix you. Quit whining about the consequences of your conduct. You might get help.

These days the chances of getting monkeypox are a total crapshoot.

You think the powers that be wanted Zappa to have a forum?

Once again, the alphabet community are trailblazers in the STD world, taking on poxes and viruses that the rest of us don’t want.

Stunning and brave.

Good point. It would have been entertaining, though.

The cases in both counties are spreading primarily among men who have sex with other men, health officials said, as has been the trend since the outbreak began in early May.


Interesting that the truth can be stated.

If they renamed Monkey Pox to White Supremacist Pox that would terrify everyone!

Those of us old enough to remember the 80’s have heard this one before. “Reagan isn’t doing enough on AIDS” was a constant refrain until somebody suggested mandatory quarantine and closing the bath houses. Turned out “protect our fun” trumped “protect our lives”, literally. And this disease isn’t even fatal.
