Thoughts on the other Monkees: "I have a very high regard for the fellows. Always had."
Great Mike Quotes To Live By: "Oh great, now we've got a super hippie on our hands.", "Never send a boy to do a man's boj...uh job..", "It's a drag, a stone drag.", "Yeah, well I'm hip, that's why I don't trust him.", "Harold you better get this carriage out of the MUD!", "You got it babe", "Save the Texas Prairie Chicken".
Some Songs Written or Co-Written By Mike: Well there's hundreds of them, but here are some he did with the Monkees..."Papa Gene's Blues", "Sweet Young Thing", "Circle Sky", "Daily Nightly", "Sunny Girlfriend", "You Just May Be The One", "The Girl I Knew Somewhere", "Tapiocra Tundra", "You Told Me".
Misc. Info: Mike was the Monkee who was always in charge, the leader. He was the tall Texan with the witty responses. Mike invented MTV and his mom invented liquid paper, groovy huh? His most memorable acting moment was when he portrayed Princess Gwen on "Fairy Tale". Mike definitely had the best sideburns AND the best accent, he never dances and he rarely smiles. But he does do a pretty good Groucho Marx impression, oui?
Final Comments: "You're ugly. You're an ugly person. Ugly..ugly..ooh are you ugly. Nobody likes you, least of all me."
