“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 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

talk to me, i'll talk to you; do you know what you do?

Although Mike is the leader, protector, and caregiver of the group, there are times when he needs the others to look after him, like when he's sick or wakes up from a nightmare. How would the others help him out? I feel like although their methods wouldn't be perfect, they'd end up being sweet and adorable and Mike would just appreciate the thoughtfulness and effort.

All the guys have their own little methods which usually causes more problems than they fix <3

Whenever Mike has a nightmare, it’s usually Micky who comforts him (until they all move into the one bedroom at least). Micky’s kind of used to dealing with nightmares because of his little sisters and it never crosses his mind that he should treat Mike any different. So he’ll climb into Mikes bed, hug his head to his chest, pet his hair, and whisper that everything’s okay and that he’s safe. Sometimes he’ll encourage Mike to get up and take a walk around the block in the cold because Mikes feeling restless and the cold kinda shocks the bad thoughts out of him. Then when they get back to the pad its super warm compared to outside so it’s easy to get all cozy and go back to sleep. Mike always gets embarrassed when Micky knows he’s had a nightmare but Mickys very good at calming him and making him feel less embarrassed, it’s like the only time Micky ever acts serious.

When Mikes sick, the Pad gets dangerous. Peter slaves over the stove to make him soup (which usually makes him more sick but he tried) and Davy piles every blanket in the house on top of him. Peter will take his soup upstairs to him and Mike is a just a single hand waving for help under a blanket monster.

Davy and Peter are a little less experienced at comforting Mike (since he’s not as touchy feely as them) so they treat him how he treats them. If Mikes upset, Davy and Peter will read a story to him and act it out all dramatically which never fails to make Mike smile. They’ll take him outside to watch the waves or the birds to distract him or calm him down. It’s usually a two man job when it comes to them.

They do try to help him separately though. Peters very good at encouraging Mike to talk about his troubles, even if Peter can’t help. He’ll let Mike rant and rave until he’s tired himself out then Peter will tell him silly stories from his life in the village or something else to lighten the mood.

Davy on the other hand, is the exact opposite. He’ll cuddle up with Mike and just let them sit in silence. It helps Mike to think things through and sort through his head and it’s nice to have comfort without having to explain himself.

Opposite methods but they’re equally as effective.

They’re not at Mike standard but they’re surprisingly good at helping out!

Monkees lyrics that hit very differently after the results of last Tuesday

Do I have to do this all over again? Didn't I do it right the first time? Do I have to do this all over again? How many times do I have to make this climb? Didn't I? Didn't I?

And

I guess I should have stayed in bed, My pillow wrapped 'round my head. Instead of waking up to find A nightmare of a different kind. She went away, This just doesn't seem to be my day.

It was very weird hearing these back to back yesterday and realizing they now mean something totally different

Reblog with what Monkee lyrics hit differently for you!
