It was so much fun to do, play the blues and then play a Monkees' set on the same night.
Ringo is one of the world's true humans. The only one out those four guys, who did not have an agenda. Ringo was just into the music.
The Monkees was a straight sitcom, we used the same plots that were on the other situation comedies at the time. So the music wasn't threatening, we weren't threatening.
Original Monkees' songs were produced very thinly, on purpose.
Only one of us would usually sing lead. Which most of the time was, Mickey or Dave. They thought it was perfectly a natural routine, because Mickey and Dave saw themselves as TV actors.
I get to play a scorching lead guitar, and there's not much that's more fun than that.
