    I've never wanted to know Peter personally more than now. Every interview with him, i hear myself saying "yeah, me too". But i could never say that about musical instruments. I own many, and play none well. Peter is a natural, passionate instrument of music himself. He's more endearing than ever, and is once again my favorite Monkee. So SO sad that my first crush, Davy, is gone, because now we'll never get to see the Monkees play together again. Another sad goodbye. Please stick around Peter.

    By now he should have been pronounced as "cured" from the cancer. Not sure how many years you have to be cancer free for that.
