Re: Davy Jones
 

I thought that there was some connection with Blackburn? I can remember there was a terrific sensation in the LET when their first single went into the charts. I remember because my mum was Monkee mad.

Re: Davy Jones
 

Played Ena Sharples grandson in Coronation St I think in the 60's. RIP Davy and thanks.

Re: Davy Jones
 

I loved the Monkees and feel quite sad. RIP Davey

Re: Davy Jones
 

RIP. Because Davy Jones was an established pop singer, another David Jones changed his name to David Bowie. Back to Davy: I remember going into Mary's Music to buy Last Train To Clarksville and I'm A Believer, two excellent songs that have stood the test of time.

Re: Davy Jones
 

His sister Hazel lived on Cranbourne Drive where i used to live. Sad to hear the news, saw him the odd time when he came to visit and Hazel's husband and son worked with him as roadies...

Loved the Monkees -used to see them on the Banana Splits Show...

Re: Davy Jones
 

Aye cranbourne drive it was, long time ago, can remember the bird, but not the avenue,:D;) Hazel had a pic of him on the mantelpiece.

Re: Davy Jones
 

Davy Jones talks about The Monkees doing drugs and responds to rumors of spousal abuse - YouTube

He was just monkeying around! :)

Re: Davy Jones
 

He goes on a bit in this clip!

Re: Davy Jones
 

You really are a ...........:eek:
Why don't you just Monkee off.

Rip Davy, used to watch the show as well. Great music.

Re: Davy Jones
 

No wonder he had a heart attack in bed - have you seen his wife, half his age.

The Monkees' Davy Jones has a third wife half his age and is happiest he's ever been | Mail Online

The Monkees were a manufactured pop band, the first boy band - and you know Bay City Rollers were influenced by their music.

Davy had a good life and died in his sleep. I quote from Mike Nesmith;

Nesmith offered a lengthy, spiritual tribute. “David’s spirit and soul live well in my heart, among all the lovely people, who remember with me the good times, and the healing times, that were created for so many, including us,” he wrote. “I have fond memories. I wish him safe travels.”

Re: Davy Jones
 

The Blackburn group with the number one hit was The Four Pennies with Juliette .

Re: Davy Jones
 

No respect for the dead! Who said it?

Re: Davy Jones
 

Well I am saying it about you.
You first make accusations about Sir Jimmy Saville, then you have a dig at Frank Carson with 'frank who?' now last night you posted this, on the legalise drug thread
'I've just done a search and it appears the Monkee's were involved in the drugs scene of the 60's in LA! i.e LSD - cannabis - cocaine!

How Does it Feel to Be One of the BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE?'

Yet you act supprised and hurt when you are told your a prat.:rolleyes:


Well you are.

Re: Davy Jones
 

Davy Jones was my first love when I was twelve years old and had his pictures plastered all over my bedroom wall. I saw him a few years ago in Accrington town centre, but I was with my son and he dragged me away because he was embarrassed that I wanted to speak to him!
It's sad that he's died at such a young age, even though I don't listen to The Monkees any more, I'll always remember him very fondly.

Re: Davy Jones
 

The Monkees have been getting a lot of air play on the radio today. Classic pop songs that put a lot of today's music in the shade.

Re: Davy Jones
 

Ya can say that again Michael, I hate GBH of the inner ear from todays offerings:eek:

Re: Davy Jones
 

Truth hurts and that 's not in your comments about me but the issues you are pointing out!

So there were accusations about Jimmy Savil, Frank Carson "yeh who!" so what? Also the Monkees did take drugs! Whether Davy took any I don't know? But why cover up the truth?

Re: Davy Jones
 

Whatever you say.

Re: Davy Jones
 

You have such a fixation on illegal substances,bringing them up whenever you can- is that because you have a problem with withdrawal symptoms?

Re: Davy Jones
 

I used to love watching the Monkees as a kid. Time has proved they had great music and really talented people, even though it was a manufactured group. But it was part of the sixties and captured the sixties well.

I have visited Accrington - a great little town. I went in search of another great singer from there, Jon Anderson of Yes. Accrington can be proud that some of the best music of the 20th century came out of there in Close to the Edge and Awaken. I wonder if Jon and Davy ever met in Accrington before being famous?

Very sad to lose a great showman Davy Jones.

Re: Davy Jones
 

He is a withdrawal symptom Gordon;)

Re: Davy Jones
 

My dad phoned me last night to ask me if I remember being about eleven or twelve and finding out Davy's sister's address. My friend and me got the bus from Blackburn to Church, trailed ourselves up Dill Hall Lane to the house and knocked on the door. The husband answered and had a stack of photos of Davy Jones on the windowsill, he gave us one, said "Thank you girls" and shut the door - they must have been totally sick of it! And I was in so much trouble for invading their privacy when my dad found out, looking back quite rightly so but I couldn't see what the problem was at the time! First love!

Re: Davy Jones
 

I would say he is actually a good reason FOR withdrawal:D:D

Re: Davy Jones
 

If so why post these on a thread to mark there passing? Why not start threads before they croaked about such stuff? I would guess its cos yer a total prat.
