George Michael Dolanz's Birthday |
The Monkees which also costarred with Davey Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork became a hit. The group soon evolved into a legitimate band and had several concert tours while they worked on the TV series. When the show was cancelled in 1968, the band continued releasing records until 1970. The Monkees also made one film, Head (1969), a disastrous psychedelic romp cowritten by Jack Nicholson. After the
cancellation of The Monkees, Micky's career floundered for a
few years. He auditioned for for the role of Fonzie on the series Happy Days,
but lost out to Henry Winkler. He survived by doing cartoon voice-over roles
and a few minor guest roles in TV shows. Micky eventually reunited with fellow
Monkee, Davey
Jones, for a series of concerts in the United States and England which
culminated in 1977 with Jones and Dolenz in a stage production of the
Harry Nilsson musical The Point! in London, playing the part of
Arrow, Jones's pet dog. After the show’s run, he remained in England and
began producing and directing for the stage and television. So let's make
some Monkey bread to celebrate the birthday of The Monkees' crazy one. Monkey bread is a certified comfort food - a
pull-apart coffee cake that can made quickly by using prepared refrigerator
biscuits instead of the traditional yeast bread recipes. Enjoy it with a
viewing of Head
(1968) for a psychedelic treat . |
