Glad you confirmed my knitting memory Judy, I wasn't sure I hadn't made it up. Re. The Monkees, the group produced some timeless popular songs, Last Train to Clarkesville and Daydream Believer among them. The motivation may have been Tin Pan Alley but the zeitgeist was hit squarely on the hooter. It's a shame this thread has gone down the one or t'other, this or that, cowboys or indians, mods or rockers, choose your poison angle I've loathed since the school playground. Can't we love Alan Lomax and Micky Most?
