GodSpeed Davy... RIP.. 
Davy Jones of the Monkees has died of an apparent heart attack at age 66. The singer – who had been on a solo tour this month - complained of chest pains last evening and was admitted to a hospital this morning in Stuart Florida.
Jones was born in Manchester, England and started acting as a child, though he got his big break in 1965 when he joined The Monkees. The group had a hugely successful television series, and a slew of hit songs in the late 1960s. At their peak in 1967 they sold more records than the Beatles.
Jones played tambourine and was the lead vocalist on "Daydream Believer," "I Wanna Be Free" and many other classics. The group split in 1971, though they reunited many times over the past forty years. They toured last summer for the first time in nearly a decade, but it was called short because of what Monkees guitarist Peter Tork called a "glitch."

I grew up watching the Monkees on Channel 56 every day after school. He was way too young (as most of us are).

The Monkees were BIG when I was growing up......he will be missed.
A local DJ here in Houston yesterday was commenting on Whitney dying and said "Well I'm ready for the next celebrity death". Then Davey Jones passes away last night. This morning on the way to work the DJ was getting all kinds of hate mail for Causing Davey's death. He profoundly appologized for making the comment and said "It's not like I can predict the future......but if you think I can......here's one for ya......"PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD WILL TOWARDS MEN'.......now.....lets see that one happen..." hahaha
