RIP David Cassidy

[Captain_Kirk]

Love that tune and video. Especially Mike Nesmith getting the necktie on the guitar strings sound....

You've Monkee-jacked the thread intended to honour the passing of my first love. I may never forgive any of you.

 

[Captain_Kirk]

Sorry HC. We're not your stepping stone....

For HC - Puka Shell HOFer.

THAT is the song that kept making it onto my mix CDs. I thought that was a great song. And Dolenz mugging through that performance ... hilarious.

Michael Murphey has a great rendition of that song too.

Monkees' trivia: Steven Stills tried out but didn't make the cut, supposedly because of his bad teeth.

For HC - Puka Shell HOFer.

HOF Non-threating Boy.

Okay, back to the Monkees....

One of my favourites:

Partridge Family was part of the greatest Friday Night TV ever, Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Room 222.

And will admit that as a teenager, I wanted to get the ladies like David Cassidy so I got the puka-shell necklace and endured perms to get the "feathered" hair look. (My wife and kids mock me for it endlessly as they peruse the photos of my youth at my mom's house.)

Fun fact - while there is a town of San Pablo in the Bay Area near Richmond - the San Pueblo hometown of the PF was said to be located "40 miles from Napa County." My guess is anywhere from Santa Rosa to Davis.

Holds up pretty well for a bubble gum hit.

I've probably listened to that two dozen times this year.

That episode also included a very cute Mary Ann Mobley.

Followed by The Odd Couple and Love American Style.

Great time to be an 11-year-old.

They've got a stronger case than the Steve Miller Band, and they're in.

(I fought the urge to make a Rush joke.)

Probably stronger than Laura Nyro and any number of Jann Wenner specials over the years....but, Rush? Come on, my brother, don't let it end this way....

Just looked at this year's nominees. I think I'd take the Partridge Family over at least six of them. (Sorry, Rage Against the Machine.)

Need to get The Cowsills inducted first, as they were the inspiration for The Partridge Family.
