My sister and I were both MONKEES fans growing up in the 1960s, and though she eventually got to see David perform in concert I never did. Had I ever had the opportunity to meet David--I did become a musician myself--I would have asked him about growing up in Manchester and would have inquired if the USA and its (everyday, not necessarily show business) people had been good to him. I hope so, since he settled here, and if so I would have been gratified by that knowledge. Peter Tork gave essentially the same advice as David (regarding 'empowerment') did--i.e., if you're an artist DO your art.
Watching this for the first time in 2021. My god, he’s fantastic! A real “talker” with an interesting mix of life stories. Thank you for posting this. Thank you Davy Jones you will always be loved.
Davy Jones your a legend. First time seeing this interview and appreciate your story into show business. Very wise and humbling words to hear for those who are wanting to start out and carve a career in acting, singing or on stage. A very well grounded kind loving guy.. the tv networks should re run the monkees as a tribute for your iconic contribution i say..
Thank you for posting this. Such a telling interview of life in the Monkees and his relationship with the others. (Jim Morrison in the swimming pool at Peter's place") priceless! He was so passionate about horses, love that he mentions the place in PA. May Davey live on forever in our memories.
Great interviews with all 3 i always love hearing the behind the scenes. I know they each had there differences thru the years and had there days dont we all love seeing all the different interviews thru the years with them. Rest to davy pete and mike we all have our favorites there's certain people when there gone its still hard to fathom. I hope we have micky for many years to come..
What a fascinating character. He seems a bit sad when talking about celebrity, but really came alive when he started talking about horses. Good insight into the Monkees from this, because he tells it different from everyone else.
For some reason, I’ve taken a deep dive into the monkeys and specifically Davy Jones. When he was speaking about playing softball and then going over to Mickey’s house for a swim I was gobsmacked. When I was 10 years old, must’ve been the summer of 67. I went with my dad to visit his sister in California we lived in Chicago and one of my dad‘s good friends from the police force had moved to the Los Angeles area actually to the valley Working I believe at that time for some of the studios on the security team. Anyway Dads friend lived next-door to Mickey, which was absolutely crazy for my 10 year old self.I remember I looked over the wall and saw Mickeys pool , the same pool Davy spoke of. I remembered my dad s friend said mickey was out of town i think on tour. Wow what synchronicity. Thank you..
Davy was quite personable and earthy!! It's always a pleasure to listen to his interviews!! Miss him!! RIP DAVY, MIKE AND PETER
Excellent interview! Missing you my love.

Oh my goodness. I love this interview. I'm so glad his character was basically him! He is way too adorable!!
His character really was basically him, wasn't it? Moreover in Season 2, I think.

Great Advice!
Miss him
God Bless Davey Jones.
Good interview.
I forgot to mention before he gave the advice I really think it was toward anyone chasing their dream. I can read it on his face.
RIP Davy, love you
What a life !

"I have four daughters, all girls..."
😂
All those failed auditions pre 1965.. Im glad for the failures because it kept him available for the project that made him an icon.
I wish I had his wisdom, optimism and outlook on life. Is that something you're born with? I don't know.
How could talk.
Talk about rambling on! LOL. Good thing what he has to say is interesting!
This is in the bonus menu for the Daydream Believers move
Please make a note of correction from Davy Jones-Peter Tork was not born in Connecticut, he was
born in Washington D.C.
Thank u.
I actually prefer him clean shaven 😂
Tiresome little man
