I was so sad when I heard he passed away. I had just recently seen the Monkees in concert in their reunion tour.

[@obedirect5491]

Me too. I had a fan girl crush on Davey and I was 10 yo! lol

私は日本人です 私も彼の亡くなった知らせを聞いたとき悲しみと寂しさを感じました 私は日本で何度か会いました アメリカのようにサイン会とかはなかったですが私が会ったときは今でも彼に会いたいです 彼の自伝はなんとか手に入れました

Davy was down to Earth. There was no intent to look down on anyone else. I was born and lived within one mile of where he was raised. I didn't know Davy as I was too young, born late 1950's. He had great human and empathic qualities. A friendly Northerner. Raised by loving parents. Very talented.

[@larryhunter2026]

I got to meet Davy when I was 14 in the late 1986 on tour. He seemed like a nice guy. I wish I got a pic. I was a young girl and very nervous. He chatted a bit and said he was glad to met me.

[@drmorqWarrenProject]

He was such a large part of OUR lives... and when he died... I think a little part of each of us was gone as well. Is this what life ever after is all about? Isnt this how we live on forever? In other peoples memories? When the world and all her memories of me are gone?

[@57andstillkicking]

No, we live eternally…

Monkees. ORIGINALLY, they were on Monday night to us even older fans.

[@stevensprunger3422]

@@markzappasodi I just remember them coming on the weekends about midday because I start washing them and my dad would come into the living room with a TV said was and say hey we gotta go out and did the septic tank stop watching that stupid shit Oh my goodness my father just passed away in September you know he is from World War II and he was a Mennonite and they weren’t allowed to even listen to the radio so I guess I understand my God for me in pre-high school the monkeys were a big influence that television show the prefab for

How irritating that the your stinkin watermark. Fall right on top of Davy's wonderful mouth! He had wonderful lips and I would've rather saw those clearly. Than his nose. Yall coulda made a smaller mark that feel there instead. Boooooo! R.I.P. Davy I love and thank you.

[@ShortBusScotty]

I won't speak ill of the dead.

[@missymarie2698]

I can. Sorry but he was always so full of himself. He actually said he could’ve been Bowie too- he just chose not too- that he was nothing special. 😂 I think he was already delusional here...delusion-ally arrogant too. Back in 1988 we were the ‘younger kids’ back then- and most only learned about them because we only had a handful of channels to watch, and one of the off stations chose to play the Monkees reruns. It wasn’t as if we had much of a choice. Tho I did remember being quite p’d off as a kid in the 70’s when they stuck a dumb monkees episode in between my cartoons. I’d have to go do something else until Tom and Jerry came back on. And to Davy’s self absorbed assumption about being just as big as Bowie? Most kids don’t even know who ‘Davy Jones’ is today- let alone the Monkees- Tho most all know who Bowie is❤️

[@alisonflaxman1566]

@@missymarie2698 Davy was a very nice person. And he never said he was as big as Bowie. The fact he told was that Bowie's name was David Jones and he had to change it because there already was a David Jones.

[@missymarie2698]

@@alisonflaxman1566 I never said he wasn’t nice. From the interviews that “I”saw...he was nothing but arrogant and YES I saw the interview myself of him saying he could’ve been bigger than Bowie but chose not to.

[@kathleenferber6598]

Thank you. Why would want or need to?

nothing he says makes any sense at all lol
