Z,
I have not gone knocking on doors, but i keep an eye out for anything strange.  I walk up and introducemyself to people I see in their yards and I do know most teh people on my side street and the other end of the block.

Has anyone heard of the study on why neighbors do not know each other well anymore?  It boils down to two words  AIR CONDITIONING  In the days befor it, everyone sat out in their yards because the house was hotter.  you would talk back and forth from yard to yard and everyones kids played together.  Not so much anymore.  What! its 100 out there, im staying right here in my cool 68 degree room in my  lazy boy!

Ill admit in the summer in TX for the past few yrs with 102+ temps,, we dont go out till after dusk! LOLOL

I bet I would say the same if I was In your country.  Check out more of the reporter clips.  Like the motorcycle hotel.

Zurf, lolol even with my hearing I understood most of it,,
the adults in the audience were fighting around the little girl.  watch close to Pinks eyes as she is singing, she sees the little girl crying. Stops the show and gives her a stuffed front and a rice crispy treat. Told her she looked pretty and told the so called adults to chill out.   I looked at 5 different post of this and the one I put up is by far the best quality.

If country roads is his best closet punk song I have always said THE EAGLE AND THE HAWK is his METAL song  \M/ \M/ !! (Saw him twice as a kid, Man what a great stage act he was!)

Well I was a huge monkeys fan as a kid with the re- runs. but as to the musicians part:

Mike and Peter were the only ones who know how to play.  Micky started learning the drums after joining. he is pretty deacent nowdays.  Davy was hired mainly for his poster boy looks, but it helped that he could sing.

The only reason Mike and Peter got any songs on the first 3 records was cause they fought for them.  (they knew about publishing royalities) so Kirshner let Nesmith put 2 songs on and peter one. ( Mikes songs actually were some of my favorite! Listen to the band, You just may be the one, sunny girlfriend,and Sweet young thing!-heavy for the times!)
the shows writers and music  producer (Kirshner)  ran everything. They hired the best songwriters and studio musicians they had.  Yes he had Neil Diamond, but also carol King and Neil Sadaka. The majority of the songs were written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Heart.

Mr. Tech,
Welcome,  GAS stands for Guitar Acquisition Syndrome. 
AS your new, Ill say that you should give an introduction of yourself in the general forums this is a great place and if you hang out and share, it just gets better.

Man thats a tough one,,,old school glam metal .  Im the resident metal head around  here for the most part,,(don't think many would argue ) but I don't know where to find that one in tab or chords.  I think I would find a buddy who has a good ear, and figure out how to fake it.  They were not one of my often listened to bands. Other than summertime girls,,     
this vid shows most of the chords. you cant see guitar 1 but you may get close.  Sounds like a D run to me,, and the power chords gtr 2 is holdig.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGOD12p4uZ0  and this  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN1m-i9QWV8   I am also going to take a wild guess that they have transposed it down an octive cause he probably cant hit the high notes any more. (it happens)
