Peter Tork Dead at 77

[Harvard Gamecock]

The Monkees weren't really the type of band I would follow, but Pete always did seem an affable guy.
Only 2 of them left.

Its painful and sobering watching watching the icons of my youth pass on one by one. I really like their first three albums or so, then they got artsy. Everyone probably knows already, but their session musicians were individuals collectively known as the Wrecking Crew, and included Glen Campbell and Leon Russell.

I just heard about it, I feel bad I was not aware of this earlier, or if I did hear, and it completely slipped my memory. Jeez, getting older is a bitch.

That memory thing..... I feel your pain.

It's also strange how as we are getting older, those who influenced us, and we have memories of from our youth have gotten older along with us, and they're beginning to leave us in increasing numbers. They're becoming so numerous that it's kind of hard to keep up. I find myself seeing a singer's, or actor's name and thinking, "are they still living?" - Funny and sad at the same time.

Not an album lover of the Monkeys but they had a few good songs I enjoyed and probably smoked pot to.

Glen Campbell was one of the most talented individuals you'll ever see.

Some may not know this, but Glen as a session musician appeared on many popular songs such as You've Lost That Loving Feeling, Strangers In The Night, and many more. He not only played on the Beach Boys Pet Sounds album, but toured briefly with them as well.
