Quote:


Why do people have to add unnecessary details? On The Monkees' first five albums, Peter Tork sings lead vocals by himself on only two songs. (For comparisions sake: Mickey 20, Davy 20, Mike 14)



We regret to report that a recent item relating to the facetious horse racing activities of Peter Tork of The Monkees slighted the contributions of bandmates Mickey, Davy and Mike. Due to the offhand nature of the comment, which was merely a vehicle for a terrible pun that involved the relationship between racing, horses, horsepower, engine tuning, torque, and the surname Tork, our usual legion of fact checkers, hair splitters, bean counters, editors, boot lickers, whip crackers, translators and attorneys was not consulted prior to clicking on the SUBMIT button. We are so very sorry to learn that anyone took the comments seriously enough to be offended, and even more sorry for the god-awful pun in the first place. Actual members of the Monkees may contact our attorney to complain but their words are likely to fall on deaf ears as our attorney is a Megadeath fan and says she would just as soon kick each and every one of their asses rather than talk to them, and furthermore their music "sucks," except for "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone," which is "decent," although the Sex Pistols version was better. Ardent fans of the Monkees are, she says, beneathe her contempt but she will give them the asskicking they so desperately need if they are willing to pay her hourly rate plus expenses. (Wear and tear on the Ferragamos, you know.)
