Childhood memories are so precious. Disneyland makes me feel so close to my youth. Today the singer from my favorite childhood band passed away. I feel so sad.. Davy Jones of The Monkeys has passed away today at age 66. Here's to childhood memories, and youthful spirits that last a lifetime 😌
So sad! I loved watching the Monkees and loved their music! - wonderlandgirl

He was my first heartthrob too! I probably bought every Teen Beat magazine because of him! If I remember correctly, he built a mock-up of Main St. in his backyard. All the more reason I had such a crush! - Gia

I'm not usually so super sappy, but it keeps making me tear up 😥 I just loved him! - 2BeignetOrNot2Beignet 258.3 #938 3:08PM
I had the opportunity to meet him and the guys at a album signing in Torrance in the late 80's. Sat and talked with them afterwards and Jones was kind enough to later call my show before their concert in Phoenix. I was surprised how casually kind he was...even off the air. - RadioMaverick

That's nice to hear! I love when people who become famous actually keep a cool personality. Thank you for sharing that ☺ - 2BeignetOrNot2Beignet 258.3 #938 3:12PM
:-(. Watching the Monkee reruns in the 70's were so much a part of my childhood too. - PrincessDuckie

Do you remember when he was on an episode of The Brady Bunch? That was awesome!!! - 2BeignetOrNot2Beignet 258.3 #938 3:12PM
