Monkees' 40th Anniversary

40 years ago tonight! "The Monkees" debuted on NBC at 7:30 P.M., Monday, September 12, 1966. And I watched it. I was 12 and thought they were so cool. Plus one of them had my name. Within a couple of years, my best buds and I had formed a basement rock band, and we covered a lot of Monkees songs. And Beatles. And made up our own. I have no musical talent, but was a "lead singer" and actually played the, get this, tambourine and maracas. 40 years ago! Sheesh.
