I’ve seen it stated that the Monkees deliberately committed a type of career suicide by making Head, in that they wanted to kill off the Monkees so they could go off into their solo careers unencumbered. Nothing could be further from the truth. I hope this video sets the record straight. (Note: Yes, Head is now held in high regard by many. And of course we know about their huge popularity in the ‘80s. But that was all in the future at the end of 1968. Plus, this story is inspired by an original fan who only knows the Monkees of the original TV run.) Yes, we owe Bert and Bob a debt of gratitude for creating The Monkees. And we acknowledge their brilliance in helping to create New Hollywood. However, there is a dark side to the story of the Monkees. Please view the video then fill in this blank: Bert and Bob_________ the Monkees. And no, it’s not a dirty word.
