100 Things Day 3: Monkee See, Monkee Do

[crazyfoolstiney]

When I was young my family lived with my great-grandmother for awhile and I remember watching tv shows with my mom in the afternoon before my younger sister and I took to the backyard.






Growing up my mom was a HUUUUUUUGE fan of The Monkees. She was president of their local fan club and everything. So when their show was on tv when I was a kid we'd watch it with her. I was obsessed with the show.  And even from the very beginning my favorite was Mike Nesmith. xD

The Beatles cartoon always came on after the Monkees and at the time I thought the Beatles were trying to be like the Monkees so I didn't like them AT ALL. My mom never corrected it.  It wasn't until I got older that I realized how WRONG that was. How embarrassing.
Though my feelings towards the Beatles changed down the line for sure, I never lost my love for the Monkees. They'll most def be showing up in other memories.

Kismet indeed!! I'm having so many Monkees feels right now. I wish I was at my old job so I could actually listen to music. I'm totally busting out my stuff when I get home tonight.

Hehe my Dad is a huge influence of what I listen to still to this day, just the music I grew up on. He loves classic rock but doesn't like the Beatles. So it took me awhile to find my way to them.

Oh man Mike Nesmith's Monkees stuff is so so sooooooo good. Damn, I'm going to my sister's to watch Supernatural tonight but we may be watching some Monkees episodes BEFOREHAND. xD
