Thread Name: Lyr Req: Who Killed Davey Moore (Bob Dylan)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Who killed Davy Jones?
Who REALLY killed Davy Jones was the American record buying public. Yes they enjoyed the Monkees, and elevated the former English jockey to Rock and Roll superstardom, but all things must pass, and so now the little guy who still looks 25 (but with the face of a sixty year old) sticks to Info-mercials hawking Golden Oldies.

Davy Moore was the fighter in Bob's song. I seem to recall the line "......down to Cuba's shore, where boxing ain't allowed no more". Yah, sure Bob. Ever heard of Teofilo Stephenson?
