Happy birthday, Monkees
Really I should never have encountered The Monkees at all. Not only was I not born in 1966, my mum was around six years old and thus not really in a position to appreciate music. But thanks to the show being rerun on British television I gained a favourite band for life! Thank you, Monkees. And thank you mum, for taking me to a Monkees concert when I was about seven and not minding that I got overwhelmed and threw up friggin’ everywhere.
