The Monkees were a pop-rock foursome CREATED in Los Angeles in 1965 for the American television series The Monkees, which aired from 1965 to 1968.

The four members of the band were Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork, who were the public face of a music production system under the supervision of Don Kirshner, the legendary rock producer.

With hits like “Last Train to Clarksville” and “I’m a Believer”, The Monkees made prefabricated (i.e. synthetic, artificial, stereotypical and unoriginal) music mega-profitable.

Dammit!

(Thus, New Kids on the Block in the 1980’s, NSYNC in the 1990’s and yada yada yada.)

And the prefabricated four’s influence unfortunately can be felt even to this day in crappy “bands” like the Pussycat Dolls.

(In all honesty people, these chicks ain’t “The Beatles” but in all fairness they do sing like them.)

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

P.S. Speaking of a good laugh, did anyone see the American Music Awards last night? And I hope that you didn’t!

They were mega-boring and mega-terrible!

But the most boring and let’s face it, godawful performance of the night belonged to the scantily-clad talentless Madonna wannabes otherwise known as the Pussycat Dolls.

(I wish their 15 minutes of fame would be over already!)

Attn: Lead Singers of Prefabricated Bands!

Hey Nicole Scherzinger, please please please take some singing lessons asap and give innocent tv watcher’s ears a break!

Hey honey, at least, Davy Jones’ voice was bearable, yours ain’t!

Nicole, please take your fishnets and go!
