JDH: Yes, I did. It was a fun light read, and I was surprised by how many different things they did with the formula.

Dave: I think I know the special you’re talking about. It was neat to see people talking relatively frankly about it all. And yeah, I think both parties (Kirschner and the boys) were happier apart.

Speaking of the Monkees and Kirshner, just this morning I watched a Monkees show on the Biography channel (DVR’d sometime in the last few days) that appeared to be relatively recent, judging from the looks of the participants. At any rate, there was a lot of material presented that I had not seen/heard before. As usual, Mike was nowhere to be seen, but Mickey, Davey and Peter were on it, as well as either Tommy Boyce or Bobby Hart (I forget which) and a few other folks. They spun it the opposite way, basically claiming they forced Kirshner out. Matter of perspective, I suppose. I do recall reading somewhere (here?) that the last straw was “Sugar, Sugar” – that Kirshner presented it to the group and they refused to record it.
