The younger folks probably wont give doodley squat but when I was a little kid The Monkees show after school was big. My sister was a big fan and this show was her favorite and she got the TV when it was on. I missed the cartoons more but me and my brother were younger so we watched. I learned to appreciate and enjoy later and Peter Tork was really probably the most talented of the bunch. Mr Tork battled rare form of tongue cancer for ten years finally succumbing to it.

"Hey Hey for the Monkees" RIP Mr Tork!

Somebody check on Baby Lee

I hadn't heard of tongue cancer before. That sounds awful.

Damn...Folks my age are dropping like flies....as they should, I guess. RIP man...I would (honestly) say that Michael Nesmith was the more talented guy in the "band" - but that's me..

"Hey, Hey We're the Monkees!"

All flags at half-staff today, I take it?

Here's an idea, go **** yourself.

That sucks. Loved the Monkees back in the day (though I only saw it on reruns -- not quite old enough to see it live).

Not a Monkees fan but I have a lot of respect for what they did across multiple media.

RIP Mr. Tork.

Yes, the Monkees were a fake band, but I grew up on them and they were great. Tork was actually quite a musician as was Nesbit.

I'll take that into consideration! Thank you.

I just bought a Monkees album for my ipod last month. They had some good songs.

Their show was weird, but creative. I remember a line from a show once that really made me laugh. They were in some haunted house or something, and a woman screamed off camera.

One of them said, "What was that?" and another one replied, "I think it was a C sharp."

Because they were musicians. Get it? Musicians.

R.I.P.

Useless trivia: this song took its title from a Monkees song:

They were called "The PreFab Four" which was unfair, because the guys were actually quite accomplished musicians. Article in Variety on Peter Tork:
