i love this bit SO MUCH. it's so fucking funny all of these jokes are fantastic to me and the delivery is perfect

[paulmccartneyexplodingonstage]

meeting older monkees fans irl is always a gamble for me to see if i can make it through a conversation without dropping a bomb like, “michael nesmith was a beautiful woman to me and i wish i could’ve fed her estrogen pills” or “i do believe that michael and peter had a yuri romance at least one time.”

“Peter Tork has a new band, the New Monks, and has recently toured Japan, where the Monkees are still fondly remembered, playing to more than 20,000 fans in Tokyo.” - Billboard, September 5, 1981 “‘Each of us was portrayed in both the show and publicity as a particular kind of individual,’ says Tork. ‘The character of Peter Tork was one I developed myself. I always seemed to look like I was battered. All the people who felt hurt by things in their lives looked at me. It was a character I could hide behind.’ In November 1968, Tork became the first to leave the Monkees. He recalls the band giving him a $6 watch with an engraved inscription on the back that read: ‘From the guys down at work.’ He never looked back with regret. There wasn’t any time. Undaunted, Tork embarked on a teaching career at a secondary private school in Los Angeles, giving instruction in English, French, social studies, math, science, baseball and music for more than three years. ‘If all the professions were paid what they’re worth,’ he says, ‘I would probably still be a teacher. There are definitely similarities between teaching and entertainment. The feedback is instantaneous, both from audiences and students. Feeling and attitude are important to both professions as well. ‘I’ve always been a show-off,’ he concludes. Eventually Tork came back to music. Has he sought out any of the now-famous songwriters and producers who worked with the Monkees for help? ‘I have my own life,’ he says. ‘I don’t have any chips to cash in on. I was a hired hand. There is no pity in this business. It’s all ‘what have you done for me lately?’ And ‘play me a tape.’ It’s not a happy state of affairs, but I’m glad to be back infront of audiences, playing music.’” - article by Byron Reimus, The Columbia Record, July 17, 1981

My First Fanfic!

peter x y/n (you!)

saving peter

davy jones and peter tork were having a fight again. y/n hears them through the walls in the pad. y/n was sitting in the living room with michael and micky before this. then they got up and went to go check on peter! (as they were worried for his safety). y/n puts their ear to the door, to listen to what davy is saying to peter, more cruely than he does earlier in the day.

"davy stop, why do you always get this way?" peter pleaded with davy.

"i need my maryjauna petah! it keeps me mellowed out!" davy sneered at peter.

"it clearly does not! please, you're scaring us!"

This is when you realzied that you had to take action.

"Davy stop! Leave peter ALONE!" you burst in, and knock davy down. he foolishly forgot how little he was by getting embarrassingly high.

"Y/N, whatsa matta? Wha ave I done to yew?"

"Peter is my best friend, and maybe more ! and the nicest monkee!" you say and wink ;)

"Wow y/n I did not know you felt that way about me." peter smiled

"what? nobody would like YEW petah, your the stupid one!"

"hey now davy that's enough. you do have a problem, peter and y/n are right." michael said

"yes davy, you need to behave better than this, like peter who only has small amounts of weed in a fun way." micky said.

"wait guys, stop, davy will learn his lesson after what y/n did just now. i'm going to focus on the hero, not the villain. thank you y/n. you rescued me. i love you, i knew we had something special." peter proclaimed.

"i-i love you too peter... hey, let's just get out of here. peter, and my friends michael and micky, can we go to the beach and play now?"

"absolutely!" michael and micky say

peter smiles at y/n "absolutely"
