Oh, my favorite was Mike, but Peter had this innocent hippie way to him that you had to love! So sad this all these sweet things from our childhood are passing away.

I made love bead necklaces as a kid! They were fun to make and back then, pre-Michael’s and Hobby Lobby, you could get the supplies for them at the local 5 & 10. Such memories!

Maybe he was a part of MTV’s beginnings.

"I think it’s about being averse to open conflict."

Agree, but I think that's because that's what society puts on women. Think of it. It's ok for two boys to fight (well at least it used to be) but if two girls fight, they are sluts, scum, lowlifes. A lady doesn't get involved in fighting...

"Actually, Davey Jones was a true musician and was a classically trained tambourine player."

Yes, I'm classically trained on the recorder. I started playing early in first grade music class.

[Buckeye McFrog]

True enough. That may be changing though.
I had to break up a fight between two girls at our church carnival, and they were wailing on each other pretty good.

“I’m a Believer” actually was by Neil Diamond, as I recall.

When Japan gave America the 200 cherry trees that were used to decorate the tidal basin in DC, The USA gave Japan 200 dogwood saplings. These were distributed among the universities throughout Japan and most were incinerated during WWII, However, one was recently found forgotten in the back of a university in Tokyo, still alive after all these years...

“The Monkees songs are some of the most just plain fun songs to play. “

Yep. We used to play Steppin’ Stone in one of my bands.
