This is a club dedicated to the Monkees! For all people who are fans of the Monkees, any of their solo work, or also enjoy the TV series.

Wow, sorry I haven't updated the club in forever! Please note, if ~squallleonhart's account isn't dead, then this club isn't really dead either. You can send submission and join notes there too if I'm not updating the club again (just mention this club since I run more than one).

News
- In June 2007, Tork complained to the New York Post that Jann Wenner had blackballed the Monkees from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Tork claimed:

Wenner "doesn't care what the rules are and just operates how he sees fit. It is an abuse of power. I don't know whether the Monkees belong in the Hall of Fame, but it's pretty clear that we're not in there because of a personal whim." Tork believes Wenner doesn't like the fact that the Monkees, who were originally cast as actors for a TV sitcom, didn't play their own instruments on their first two records. "Jann seems to have taken it harder than everyone else, and now, 40 years later, everybody says, 'What's the big deal? Everybody else does it.' Nobody cares now except him. He feels his moral judgment in 1967 and 1968 is supposed to serve in 2007."

David had the honor of joining Bill O'Reilly on the Fox channel's hugely popular O'Reilly Factor to discuss the growing call to induct the Monkees in to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

After 65 million albums sold and still selling, and 4 number one albums in one year, we are not sure what anyone is waiting for.

- On March 3, 2009, Peter Tork reported on his Web site that he had been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma, a slow-growing form of head and neck cancer. Tork underwent extensive surgery March 4 in New York City. A preliminary biopsy discovered that the cancer had not spread beyond the initial site.

"It's a bad news, good news situation," explains Tork, "It's so rare a combination(on the tongue) that there isn't a lot of experience among the medical community about this particular combination. On the other hand, the type of cancer it is, never mind the location, is somewhat well known, and the prognosis, I'm told, is good."
