The Monkees and The Doors are my all time favorite bands. 60's garage, psych, punk, gum, obscure 60's and underground music, alternative and old school punk are also a big part of my life. I would be lost without music in my life!
Hmmmm....let's see what else? I have a strange facination for 1920's/1930's Chicago Gangsters, Firearm(especially Tommy Guns) and Al Capone. I also enjoy reading about Haunted Chicago, Spirits and Ghosts.
Here are a few Monkees interviews taken from the show-
This is from the Roger Waters show I went to this past May-

This Is My Boy...All Grown Up Now-
At the age of 42 and loving life more than ever, I aspire to
be like Dick Clark - the world's oldest living
teenager.
My musicial roots began sprouting at the early age
of ten, affectionately crediting my parents for the
exposure to "the love of my life." From there, I
developed an elaborate taste in music. Drawing
from my first true love, "The Monkees" which then
lead me to "The Doors", which literally widened the
'door' to my musical world.
This 60's music enthuisast can name any popular 60's
or 70's tune by only hearing the first two notes of
a song. My compassion for music hasn't stopped. In
1991, I discovered 60's underground and
"outsider" music which came full circle in 1997
when I met my musical brother, Brian.
As I continue along the path of never-ending melodies, I
love spinning tunes that have that "musical vibe" so
be sure to tune in to my page here so that you can groove
all day long.
