It's about Micky's experience with the Monkees. I bought in 1994 and I thought it was a great book. I learned a lot of things about the Monkees music and Micky's whole experience with it. It also detailed his directorial career over in England and what his experience was coming to the Monkees in the late 80s. I thought it was a great book even though it is outdated now.

But yes, great book. Micky has a knack for telling stories.

He's seems so happy go lucky yet level headed at the same time. I'll have to check out the updated version though, I don't know much about what happened with the making of Justus and the Hey hey it's the monkees tv special back in 1997.

I was soooo shocked to hear the truth of things, though all grown up I knew there must have been one, compared to the fluff back in the day Was shocked but not in a really bad way, more like a 'so THAT'S how it all went down I should have known' even down to the black box. It is a really good book, tells it like it is! Rachael

Never really did sit and read it but I found it funny, interesting and enlightening. I would like to read the updated version someday. The Geritolman Brothers Band invite you to "MusicRise!!!"

After reading Micky's bio and Davy's bio, I would love it if I could read a bio from Mike and Peter, too! It would sort of give the whole Monkees experience from all points of view.

I know at that point in his career Mickey was mostly working behind the scenes as a director.
