Somehow, I had the impression Peter Tork would've been the one to go first.

Zoneboy · 02-29-2012, 03:11 PM

It happened again, left the house for less than 30 minutes to get my mom's medicine and I find this when I get back.

Oh well, so be it.

Considering the fact that he's been battling cancer, I was thinking the same thing.

Very shocking and sad.

R.I.P. Davy.

Do you enjoy delivering bad news?

I'm very surprised at Davy's death. I loved him as a young girl. Davy Jones and Bobby Sherman. Prayers for Davy's loved ones in this sorrowful time. His daughters are surely devastated; they were very close to him.

Of course not, just seems like everytime I leave my house, I find out that someone famous has passed away. I know it's coincidental but sometimes I wonder.

No need to wonder. People die all the time, every minute of every day. So of course people are going to die when you leave your house.

sunshinefizzy · 02-29-2012, 04:45 PM

This sucks. He was my favorite Monkee!

Micky Dolenz says he had a feeling something bad was going to happen today ... saying he "had bad dreams all night long" ... only to later learn about the death of his friend Davy Jones.

Dolenz released a statement moments ago ... saying, "Can't believe it...Still in shock...had bad dreams all night long."

He added, "My love and prayers go out to Davy's girls and family right now."

Monkees bassist Peter Tork also released a statement about Jones which reads:

"It is with great sadness that I reflect on the sudden passing of my long-time friend and fellow-adventurer, David Jones.

His talent will be much missed; his gifts will be with us always. My deepest sympathy to Jessica and the rest of his family.

Adios, to the Manchester Cowboy."

ANTENNA TV REMEMBERS DAVY JONES
“THE MONKEES” MARATHON TO AIR MARCH 3 & 4

Chicago, IL – February 29, 2012- From “Daydream Believer” to "Last Train to Clarksville," The Monkees won hearts on both sides of the pond. Beginning Saturday, Antenna TV remembers Davy Jones with a weekend-long tribute.

Antenna TV, which airs on 60 affiliates across the U.S. reaching 58% of TV households, will honor Davy Jones and The Monkees beginning with a special airing of “Head” (1968) at 1pm ET on Saturday, March 3rd. Antenna TV will also air a complete 58-episode marathon of The Monkees on Saturday, beginning at 5pm ET, and running straight through to Sunday, March 4th with an encore airing of “Head” at 10PM ET.

Because of this news, I now dislike Jessica Pacheco even worse. Pretty sure Davy's daughters probably dislike Pacheco as well. Davy should have divorced Pacheco while he was still alive. Now Pacheco can move to some slum in Africa like Shannon Price (Price was once married to the late Gary Coleman). I thought the other Monkees members hated Jessica.

My deepest sympathy for Davy's four daughters. I will not, however, show any sympathy for Jessica, since this is all her fault.

What the hell are you talking about? Your ramblings above make no sense, especially that last sentence. How is this Jessica Pacheco's fault? Your entire post is vulgar and offensive.

Seriously, get some help, sir.

I remember watching "The Monkees" in reruns as a kid...this was late 60's/early 70's when it was syndicated. Davy always seemed like a good natured fellow, funny and kind of innocent.

Loved the Monkees' music, too. I've heard they had a lot more talent than they were ever given credit for. Loved their comedy, personalities and presence.

Very sad news.

Davy
