Born in the Wrong Decade

Although, I loved the music, movies, fashion and even hairstyles of the 80s, I think I was born in the wrong decade.  I absolutely love love love all of the above from the 50s/60s.  Not the hippy 60s!  I'm talking about the fun lovin' 50s/60s!

So, I was truly saddened when I heard that Davy Jones of the Monkees died yesterday of a heart attack at 66.  I remember watching reruns of the Monkees TV show when I was a kid.  What fun!  I know the band was actually a product of the show and not the other way around.  But, I think they became more popular than anyone ever could have imagined.  I think that was largely due to the heart throb/teen idol status of Davy Jones.  For those of you who are too young to remember the show, it is like Big Time Rush now.  But MUCH MUCH bigger!!

I am just glad I got to see him in concert at Epcot last year.  He was still energetic, full of life and entertaining.  So, RIP Davy Jones, you will be missed!
