Seems exactly what Mike Nesmith had said "The TV version of Head." After filming Head, then doing this, it's completely understandable that Peter was burnt out and left - criminal what he had to pay to get out of his contract! Looking at "Elephant Parts" (especially Rio) you can see how much more coherent, humorous, and creative Mike's work was than what the corporate drones could come up with (Head and this). Completely understandable also why Mike felt stunted inside his contract and needed to go to avenues that allowed for greater expression of self. Davy and Mickey made the best they could of the situation, building off of it what they did and building lives they enjoyed. All in all, each adjusted as they could coming out of it with their own sense of selves. This is not dissimilar from what many have to go through with any corporate gig - how to make the best of it and enjoy as much of life as possible. For a couple seasons you guys provided a great deal of silliness which yielded lot of laughs, that helped us all cope, and now continue to provide great memories of laughter/fun. Your work on the show, and after, as well as the paths to shape your lives has served many of us in a lot of ways. I've read each of their books/bios and they've each been insightful in their own way. Thank you Peter, Davy, Mike, and Mickey for everything you've provided us.
Grandes artistas, músicos, muchachos, simpáticos, carismáticos, muy talentosos, encantadores, fantásticos y muy guapos, quien los eligió para este grupo, supo escoger en ellos su gran talento!!! Muy admirados!!! Por siempre y eternamente l love❤ThE monkees!!!
Wow. Not completely sure what I just watched. If they were going for the feeling of an acid trip, I’d think they achieved it: Incoherent, super-saturated, moments of brilliance, with the feeling of sandpaper all along my nerve endings throughout much of it … very much like an acid trip in my experience. 😂 Fairly certain I never saw this before. Unlikely to sit through it ever again! But if I did, I think I’d want to at least be on weed if not acid. 😂 What a trip!
This is bizarre to say the least! What a waste of their talents. The girl gets the good song! If this is like Head then I'm glad I didn't get to see it! Mike said they smoked a lot of weed when writing that movie!
@@spiritnme7772yes, parts in the middle were almost good! 😂 But, WOW. I’m a lifelong Monkees fan, and I’m not sure I’d ever want to watch that again. Certainly not without some sort of mind altering substance to help out! 🤣
Off of the top of my head I know the last songs played released as ‘Listen to the Band’ under The Monkees, and I believe Peters intro song was released as ‘I Prithee (Do Not Ask for Love)’. I’m unsure about the rest!
loool as someone who comes back to rewatch scenes here on a more-than-weekly basis, i can agree that it’s not very good and pretty much delivers the same message as head does but worse
Lawl. I liked it 🤷🏻♀️

I'm not saying it's just bad, I just want to know what decisions I made in my life that ended up me being here

Ok the last half is so much better and I'm enjoying it!
I think I am tripping out here and I don't have any weed to smoke! Wow!

Did these songs ever come out?

Looking at the comments y'all missed the point of the movie.

this is 10 times worse then the movie head
