885 MMMM Top 100: The Monkees

I was too young when "The Monkees" debuted on TV in 1966. I only caught the "Pre-Fab Four" when the show was rerun back in the 70s. As a kid, I liked their manic energy & comedy, of course. But as an adult, I've come to appreciate their music, some of the finest pop to come out of that time.

885 MMMM Top 100: Grateful Dead Tour

I know time often passes in a blur, especially for some Deadheads, but the entire dead tour as a "moment"? Okaaay. I was never a huge fan of their music, maybe that's why I only went to one of their shows, at the Vet in Philly sometime in the late 80s. What a long strange trip that was ... even before we went through the gates. I remember my buddy Dan looking a bit bewildered as we walked by a group "partaking" in a certain illegal substance. I didn't buy any incense, or tie-dye shirts. But I remember having a lot fun that day! But don't ask me about the music though.
