Davy Jones Dec. 30 1945 – Feb. 29 2012

Hey hey I’m a monkees fan. Always have been, even if I haven’t always been willing to admit it. Davy Jones died of a heart attack at age 66, just like a thousand other grand-dads did today. But somehow Davy is always going to be an awkward yet velvet-voiced English teenager, happily transplanted into Marsha Brady’s world; right where we needed and right when. Wouldn’t have wanted to live in a world without the Monkees, and I thank the late Mr. Jones for seeing that I didn’t have to.
