“Michael used to run a hootenanny at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, and so I met him there [before The Monkees audition]. But that’s all, just to say hi to, pretty much.” - Peter Tork, GOLD 104.5, 1999

“I have a great deal of respect for Mike as a musician and a songwriter. He’s very good. He could make it on his own easily. Also he’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met.” - Peter Tork, Flip, August 1967

Q: “Being that your tastes were similar, and you both were the first to leave the group, why didn’t you form a group with Peter Tork?” Michael Nesmith: “I don’t like Peter Tork — never have liked him, I don’t like him as a man. I have to qualify that now: Me not liking somebody doesn’t mean that they’re bad people — he could do a lot of wonderful things for and to me. Not liking someone to me is a very gut reaction — a very visceral attitude. The first reaction to Peter was one of dislike. I don’t like him, I have never liked him, and I probably will never like him. I didn’t enjoy playing in a band with Peter, and I still don’t. Our tastes were much the same, our political beliefs were similar, our ideas of fun, pleasure, our intellectual capacity, our ability to talk to each other — we were very much alike. I have a great respect for Peter — his technical abilities on an instrument and the positions he took were well conceived ideas, always a posture with a motive, never emotional. I don’t like my mother. She happens to be a very nice lady — never done anything that would make me not like her — but I don’t. I like my wife.” - Hit Parader, February 1972 (x)

"I’d rather have him [Michael] in [The Monkees], all things considered. I think that it makes an event when he’s there that, that isn’t when he’s not. Um, Mike has ideas about himself, you know, that, that sometimes seem to… I don’t know, the last time we got together, we got together because he was just, just a couple of things came together, his… he caught the episode of Friends and he said, ‘Gee, that sounds like us playing the theme song there,’ and then his — he started to think about some old Monkees songs, and his girlfriend said, ‘Well, who’s playing bass on that cut there? He said, ‘Well, Peter.’ Did he write that part?’ Yeah.’ Well, so his girlfriend liked my work and he said, maybe we should… And at that time, he was developing a thing for ZZ Top and he wanted to play guitar like that, sound like that on guitar, and we were the vehicle for it, so we joined, got together and we made a record called Justus, which is not a bad record, I don’t think, and then we toured England, and then I think, you know, Mike changed his mind for reasons that I don’t quite understand, but what the heck." - Peter Tork, GOLD 104.5, 1999

"[Y]ou know, I have a lot of, I still have a lot of respect for Michael, I’m not, this is not to say that he’s proven to be useless as a human being or an artist, but… And I still have a lot of affection and respect for the other two guys as well, and if something came up, I’d be glad to be hanging out in their company. It’s a lot of fun touring with those guys, they’re funny, funny men, you know, the two of them, just hilarious." - Peter Tork, WDBB, February 12, 2006

“Mike joined us in the UK for our 30th anniversary tour in 1997. I enjoyed that tour very much; it was a good time. Nevertheless, Mike never said anything to me when he decided to leave the band after the ’97 European tour, and I still don’t know why he left.” - Peter Tork, Medium, 2017 (x)

“Mike and I have been back and forth with the emails […] I bore him no ill-will. I have a lot of respect and admiration and some affection for Mike. And I’m glad to be back in touch with him.” - Peter Tork, interview with Iain Lee, 2012

“I am told he slipped away peacefully. Yet, as I write this my tears are awash, and my heart is broken. Even though I am clinging to the idea that we all continue, the pain that attends these passings has no cure. It’s going to be a rough day. I share this with all Monkees fans this change, this ‘loss,’ even so. PT will be a part of me forever. I have said this before — and now it seems even more apt — the reason we called it a band is because it was where we all went to play. A band no more — and yet the music plays on — an anthem to all who made the Monkees and the TV show our private — dare I say 'secret' — playground. As for Pete, I can only pray that his songs reach the heights that can lift us and that our childhood lives forever — that special sparkle that was in the Monkees. I will miss him — a brother in arms. Take flight my Brother.” - Michael Nesmith, Facebook, February 2019 (x)

big daddy, daddy's little girl

So. The year is 1967 or 1972. And Veronica wants to take her dad to the Daddy -- Daughter Dance. But Hiram Lodge is too busy, off on business. She can't not go this event, depending on which one just because she was bragging about winning all the contests or just because. What to do? Take Archie. Pretending to be Mr. Lodge.

Naturally going to win the contest of 1967 because -- old people can't do The Twist. As the last of the last of the pre-codified randomly rendered Betty's dad thinks it -- "A Twist Ugh".

As for 1972, a slow dance with changed partners (and Hal Cooper has blonde hair but is otherwise identifiable) almost gives things away.

Funny thing (well, besides the funny thing of -- uh?) on the public spanking which follows Mr. Lodge dropping in for Archie. Veronica thinks this is being done by Archie.

And things fall apart in both stories.

Lecture 14: The Velvet Underground and Nico (Christa Päffgen) perform “Femme Fatale” in a 1972 reunion concert. The haunting song is from their landmark 1967 album, The Velvet Underground & Nico. The following quote has repeatedly been attributed to record producer Brian Eno: “The first Velvet Underground album sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band.” While some have disputed that Eno actually wrote or spoke those words, nobody disputes that The Velvet Underground’s album was extremely influential.
