I think if he read this thread he'd feel inclined to quote Mark Twain.

Rumours of my playing the grandson of Ena Sharples in Coronation Street, are greatly exaggerated?
No, unfortunately that bit was true. It has just occurred to me perhaps you read an article somewhere spignific, where it said "Davy Jones, late of the Monkees" and misunderstood the meaning?
Can confirm he's still live and kicking , just watched a live interview with him on one of the news channels , seems there is a bit of controversy brewing about wether the Monkees should be inducted into the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" or not , seems a lot of folks in the music business think they should be illegible since they were an industry manufactured group like the Partridge family/Milli Vanilli et al ........
you are correct steeljack, as for the controversy no-way should they be accepted into the Hall of Fame.Can confirm he's still live and kicking , just watched a live interview with him on one of the news channels , seems there is a bit of controversy brewing about wether the Monkees should be inducted into the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" or not , seems a lot of folks in the music business think they should be illegible since they were an industry manufactured group like the Partridge family/Milli Vanilli et al ........
They may well have started out as a 'manufactured' creation for a TV show but they did produce some very decent stuff in their own right and they did play their own musical instruments contrary to popular opinion which is more than can be said for a lot of today's boy 'bands'
Where do you draw the line at 'creation' anyway. Is a band which gets together through adverts in the music papers by singers, drummers and guitarists any less valid than a group of lads jamming together at Uni or any more valid than a group which was formed from auditions for a role in a TV show?

Davy Jones sister Hazel used to live on the same road as us and if he visited her, there were always loadsof young lasses parading up and down the road hoping to get a glimpse of him. That was quite a time ago in their heyday!!! Even up to a few years ago, Hazel´s husband Ken Wilkinson(former copper) used to go over to the states as a roadie for him so he was still performing in shows all over America.Originally he was from Manchester area.
you mean same avenue,i suspect aromaanne lol, used to babysit with a girl i was going with at the time, mind Hazel was not aware.
Looking at the officail list of inductees into the RR hall of fame
Inductees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
the Monkees just would not look right....but were are The Smiths?????
There are some people in there who I definitely would not describe as rock and roll.
Quite true... I especially can't equate some of the soul acts as "rock n roll"
quite agree willow, its only my own opinion.
