I agree with Phil. In 1968, the Monkees were NOT considered "subversive", they were called "bubble-gum".

SUBVERSIVE? the songs were not written by the Monkees and probably not even chosen by them, "pleasant valley sunday" is a carole king/gerry goffin song and "claksville" is a boyce/hart song with boyce on guitar. if anything, it's the writers that would be "subversive"

You could argue that Mike Nesmith has had as big an influence on music as almost anyone, because of his involvment with MTV.

Check the lyrics to Pleasant Vally Sunday or Last Train To Clarksville. (Clarksville being the station closest to the airfield from where the soldiers flew to Vietnam)

Subversive????. I remember watching that "subversion" on Saturday morning when I was small.( The 60s). Along with other cartoons.

I just learned a few days ago that Ringo is Walsh's brother-in-law. (Walsh married Barbara Bach's sister.)

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Clarksville, maybe a little, but I don't get what is "subversive" at all about Pleasant Valley Sunday. Besides, that song was written by Goffin and King, who were pretty mild from what I can recall.

I don't agree with most subversive especially for the 60s both songs are pretty mild in comparison to some of the folk songs Seeger,Dylan et al.

FYI, i have a ringo live CD in which walsh (with numerous others) are part of the band, so it wouldn't be new for walsh and starr to be on-stage together. walsh played "life in the fast lane" and "desperado"

What's the over/under on how much Eagles tickets are going to cost? I'm going to guess $300 for something not in the nose-bleed seats.

I saw them back in the summer of 2010 at the Toyota Center in Houston. We had tickets which were directly in front of the stage but at the opposite end of the TC from the stage (i.e. it's like we were in the back of the floor seats in the center section, only elevated to the level of the stage). The TC is not that big, so they were good seats. They retailed for $150 each, but I got them for half price.

My brother-in-law had floor seats for the same show. He was on the floor about halfway back, and I think he paid $250 for his.

So you're guess of $300 is probably not far off.

I heard that Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were talking to Joe Walsh and another person whose name I didn't catch. If they choose to tour together, I really, really, really, really, really hope they call the band The Beagles.

If you didn't make that thing about Macca, Ringo and Walsh up just to be able to work in that joke, then I am most impressed.

I would not pay that much either,I hope that they will be close too me and have affordable tickets. I would really like too see them in person.

oddly enough, there was a documentary on the TV last night about the Monkees, which i enjoyed, i was always a fan from the beginning, probably thinking they were the first Beatles cover band (kinda!?) it was quite obvious that Mickey Dolenz wasn't actually playing drums as the kit was set up all wrong!

from the ridiculous to the sublime: any one know if there will be a new album to accompany the Eagles tour? hope so, "road out of eden" was brill
