“I hate prejudice and violence. Somehow, those two seem to go hand-in-hand. Think of it this way: suppose we lived in a country where everybody was green, and then some orange and purple polka-dotted people came along. So we would be saying, ‘Gee, what funny-looking polka-dotted people!’ But because people are basically good in their hearts, each group would want to be friendly with the other. It’s only fear, lies and bad leadership that keeps us all from loving each other and from seeing each other clearly and purely with the eye of the mind and the love of the heart.” - Peter Tork, 16 Magazine, December 1968 Revisiting these quotes, too: “‘We’ve all got to stick together or we’re all going to come unglued.’ [Peter] noted a drive for only one’s own fortune is at the expense of others. ‘Without community, the individual is dead.’” - The Life, May 3, 1996 Q: “At what times do you feel that there’s hope for the human race?” Peter: “All the time. Are you kidding? What’s the alternative?” - Together, November/December 2010 “Be kind to yourselves and others… peace and love. Peter Tork” - Fabulous 208, 1967 “everyone take care of yourselves and your loved ones, and even the occasional random passer-by, eh? xo, peter” - Facebook, November 10, 2018

THE MONKEES (1966-1968) ↳ 1x12 I’ve Got a Little Song Here

The red and blue combination between their shirts, resulting in the purple sky in the background

Them facing each other while performing a beautiful acoustic version of Don't Call On Me. Everything is just perfect

This is genuinely one of the most beautiful scenes in the show. It's short, but also very sweet, and a rare moment between Mike and Peter as characters, showing their true musical connection

(And yes ik Peter's shirt is actually orange, but it looks kinda red on this specific scene)

“He has a new album that demonstrates his musically eclectic influences. ‘Stranger Things Have Happened’ features pop songs, folk ballads and even a hint of R&B. […] He knows his music isn’t easy to categorize but admits he is comfortable with ambiguity. ‘I like songs that have a twist, a turn, a touch of irony.’” - Southtown Star, August 15, 1996

No joke, 85% of my top 100 songs this year are Monkees or Monkees related (all but 1 song is you loosely define “Monkees related”)
