I chide my younger wife.....I was older and much more sophisticated and looked down on the Monkees and their fans............while my younger wife was a fan. It is fun poking her about it.The people who put together the Monkees show and recordings and all hired top-notch songwriters and studio musicians and four young men who were certainly good enough to do what was asked of them.
So was it contrived? Sure was. Inorganic as the Colonel’s mashed potatoes? Yup. But the entire enterprise wouldn’t have been such a success if it wasn’t good. And much of it was.
