You know how when you’re sick, sad news is even more depressing?

I’m still combating my cold, and to find out that adorable Davy Jones of the Monkees has died seems devastating.

The Monkees were such a great pop band.  Even though they were a manufactured act brought together for a television show, they produced some fantastic music.  And the TV show was a blast—very pop art and groovy.

Goddamn, I can’t believe my youthful idols are kicking the bucket.  I really am getting old.

I gotta get healthy and back on my feet to enjoy my few remaining years!

Thank you Mr. Davy Jones for providing so much wonderful entertainment.
