HERE HE COMES, WALKING DOWN THE STREET...

New music (a collection of covers called "Remember") from Monkees's Micky Dolenz and incredible chat with Huffpo chatmeister KRUU radio personality Mike Rgaogna.

Micky auditioned for  "The Monkees" (1966) TV series in 1965, and on the strength of his audition won a role and became the group's designated crazy one. Assigned as a drummer, Micky worked to learn the instrument well enough to bluff his way through filming. He was also initially welcome to the musical guidance of Don Kirshner, but as Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork grew more openly rebellious of the restrictions imposed, Micky, who could be hotheaded, quickly sided with his bandmates, and when the group began touring for real in late 1966 Micky learned enough drumming to pull off concerts.
