Ed - yeah.. I'm well aware of the [counter] cultural importance of "Head" and the similarly trippy surreal final TV special...

[hint.. look on youtube...]

I meant they were falling apart commercially and as a band, whilst growing as genuine artists....

Tork was first to quit the Monkees.


In the early 80s I worked at a new trendy arthouse cinema and media complex.
I tried convincing the manager "Head" would be an ideal movie for him to track down a print
to show to the largely student & arts creatives audience
[I'd only ever watched it on a late night TV broadcast, and was very keen to see it on the big screen...]
But this supposed film expert dismissed the idea out of hand
mocking the notion of having anything to do with the Monkees.
I told him who the director and co writers were,
but the ignorant jumped up prick in an expensive yuppie suit refused to belive me,
and told me to stop wasting his valuable time...
Needless to stay I didn't work there much longer....
