First off I've been a āĻ…āĻ¨ā§āĻ°āĻžāĻ—ā§€ of the Monkees since I was three. I āĻĒā§āĻ°āĻŖā§Ÿ the āĻĒā§āĻ°āĻĻāĻ°ā§āĻļāĻ¨ā§€ and the music. These guys were my childhood! And I still āĻĒā§āĻ°āĻŖā§Ÿ them!
Now, for those that might not know 'Head' is a movie starring the Monkees. It was done in 1969, shortly after the series ended. What is it about? I honestly couldn't tell you. I first saw the film when I was six and even at 36 I still haven't figured it out *lol*
However, I do know that the movie was apparently made to end the group's nice and friendly image (the group's words not mine) but I don't think it worked.
Tbh, I always thought the film was a parody of their āĻĒā§‚āĻ°ā§āĻŦāĻŦāĻ°ā§āĻ¤āĻŋ episodes. Think about it. Like in the film Davy is a āĻŽā§āĻˇā§āĻŸāĻŋāĻ¯ā§‹āĻĻā§āĻ§āĻž and there's an episode where he's a āĻŽā§āĻˇā§āĻŸāĻŋāĻ¯ā§‹āĻĻā§āĻ§āĻž as well. And there are several scenes in the āĻšāĻ˛āĻšā§āĻšāĻŋāĻ¤ā§āĻ° that are similar to Monkee episodes. So, for me I thought they were doing a surreal parody. Another reason I feel the movie failed to change my feelings is it's a movie, it's NOT real. They were acting. I've even seen behind the scene āĻ›āĻŦāĻŋ where their hanging out and having fun and smiling. And āĻ…āĻ¨ā§āĻ°āĻžāĻ—ā§€ know how kind and genuine they really are. And the āĻ¸āĻ™ā§āĻ—ā§€āĻ¤ is so beautiful and amazing! Definitely doesn't match the movie which I think shows they tried to save the film. Plus the Monkees have stated they don't like the film which says a lot. Honestly, if the directors thought they were going to turn people off from the Monkees, obviously they failed. They're āĻ¸āĻ™ā§āĻ—ā§€āĻ¤ and āĻĒā§āĻ°āĻĻāĻ°ā§āĻļāĻ¨ā§€ are still going strong and the movie is even a cult classic! As for me I am and always will be a Monkees fan! *mic drop!*

Dear Pastor:

I have a friend who is 41 years old, she's emotionally disturbed & lives with her mother who has diabetes. Her mother needs to be put in a mental hospital because she falsely accuses her daughter of certain things that she really didn't do āĻ…āĻĨāĻŦāĻž say. Her mother lowers her daughter's self esteem āĻĻā§āĻŦāĻžāĻ°āĻž calling her terrible names like crazy, dumb, & stupid; & threatens to put her in a group home. I really don't want my friend to be put in a group āĻĒā§āĻ°āĻĨāĻŽāĻĒāĻžāĻ¤āĻž because people don't treat other people nice, & the same thing goes with the halfway houses. If anything, I believe that my...

A Connecticut Yankee going to court
From the interview at the end of “Fairy Tale:”

Producer: What do āĻ†āĻĒāĻ¨āĻŋ think Christian’s reaction’s gonna be?
Davy: The same as a Jew, I suppose.
*Peter chuckles*
Micky: That didn’t make any sense at all.
Davy: ‘Course, it did. “What would a Christian’s reaction be?”
*Micky roars with laughter*

I don’t always like religious jokes, but this one’s hilarious, especially with Micky’s delayed reaction. And I was just like he was at first- I was like, “huh???”

I wish we could’ve seen Mike’s reaction, since the original āĻĒā§āĻ°āĻļā§āĻ¨ was about his son. But I do like Peter’s response,...

I heard someone say once (I don’t remember who it was) that the Monkees were ridiculously one-dimensional. They were just a bunch of nuts who could sing. Well, I’ll admit that when I was a kid, most of the appeal of the āĻĒā§āĻ°āĻĻāĻ°ā§āĻļāĻ¨ā§€ was that they were basically like living Looney Tunes. But as I grew up, I came to realize that the characters were much deeper and much āĻ†āĻ°ā§‹ realistic than I ever gave them credit for. They’re like a family. They āĻĒā§āĻ°āĻŖā§Ÿ and care for each other, and they’ll do almost anything to keep the group together and happy.

Mike is definitely the big brother of the group. He’s...
