TMZ is reporting Davy Jones has passed away.
Very surprising. As a kid, the repeats of the Monkees was much watch TV for me.
RIP

Davy Jones R.I.P

NBC has confirmed the story. So sorry to hear of his death.
A part of my childhood is gone. I watched the reruns as a kid all the time.
Last summer I saw the Monkees in concert in Milwaukee. At the time more dates were to follow. But those where cancelled from reports that the band did not approve of it with their management and/or disagreements with Davy, Micky and Peter. I thought I MIGHT have seen the last ever Monkees concert.....
Now I know I really did.

Damn. 
66 is too young to die.

Just heard about this. It royally sucks. Davy was a decent, down-to-earth guy. As an 11- and 12-year-old kid I was exposed to the Monkees for the first time when MTV revived their old sixties show and the band reunited to go on tour. They might have been a manufactured pop group, but they were awesome.
Rest in Peace.
One of Davy's shining moments.

Rip Davey Jones. Loved 'Head'

Oh my GOD; I was a HUGE Monkees fan when I was a kid. This is such sad news and he was still much too young to die. How awful.
Sad news. The Monkees and Star Trek were two shows that defined my childhood.
Jones was a talented guy. This is a song and dance segment from the movie "Head", in which Jones dances with Toni Basil, and then gets critiqued by Frank Zappa.
And even if you are not a Monkeys fan or a "song and dance" type, the song is, well, touching.

"Head" was an underrated movie.

I was a fan of the Monkees too. 66 is indeed too young.
Agreed...66 is too young. But he's forever frozen in my mind as a cherubic twentysomething so realizing he was almost seventy years old was a reminder of just how long ago the sixties were.

Davy in the lead.

Appropriate that we're talking about this on a TREK board. Davy was, after all, the key inspiration for putting Pavel Chekov on the original show. Screw all that "the Russians were in space first" P.R. crap...it was Davy and the Monkees that helped give us our favorite Enterprise navigator.
Sad to hear this. As a child of the 70's and 80's he was a big part of my tv watching world.
Is it really though?? I used to think that but as I get older I am beginning to realize that 50% of males seem to die before their 70's.
Damn.
