I had such a crush on him as a child

and now he's gone. RIP Davy Jones of the Monkees, who died today. He was 66 years old (a couple of years older than my parents, actually). There's a great tribute video set to 'Daydream Believer' that reminds me how much fun they had, and made, while making music and clowning around. I can't embed it, but you can watch it on YouTube.

Here's another (quick music trivia--can you spot the one picture of another singer who isn't Davy Jones?)


PS It's a picture of David Bowie (pouring a drink), whose real name is David Jones. The poster caught the mistake, from where they'd put in David Jones rather than Davy, after it was published.
