WHY DON'T YOU CUT YOUR HAIR

As a certified Nezhead I think the Monkees fandom collectively needs to talk about Micky more. “Nez goat stream Different Drum” “so Torkcore” “Davy Jones tboy swag” what about Circus Boy. What about the guy who just put out an REM cover EP for some reason. What about our king Micky Dolenz.

Saw a post about picking one monkees song to rule them all, and it got me thinking: I think Randy Scouse Git (Alternate Title for you Brits) fundamentally changed me as a person. Here was my favorite band, full of bouncy, happy (at least sounding) songs, going hard. The chorus filled with anger, but the verses with the sweet monkees sound, a contrast like I had never heard before. And it compelled me, excited me. And the politics that anger spewed, those of previous generations trying to get the new one to conform to their standard, and the inherit satire of it in the song, spoke to me as well, a girl in the midst of a tumultuous time in my life where I was questioning everything I knew. I left my faith, realized I was queer, and started seeing my friendships I was convinced saved my life falling apart around me no matter how hard I tried to keep them together.

As my depression worsened and I fell to the lowest point in my life I got into another band, Nirvana, who I felt mirrored the pain i felt inside perfectly and therefore was a great outlet for me. But once again, I was compelled by the soft verses and hard choruses. Only looking back can I draw the comparison to my favorite Monkees song, which followed the same formula but with a more whimsical feel. So yeah Randy Scouse Git opened my eyes to the possibility of grunge and allowed me to love the sound even more i feel. Thank you Micky Dolenz for such a wonderful song.

Sorry for the long rambling I will get back to reblogging fandom posts promptly

Good God I am loosing it.

(A performance of Randy Scouse Git on the 17th of November, 2012 in Cleveland Ohio (X) | The Randy Scouse Git video back when the song was made.)

That 2012 live performance really makes me feel, like, all of the emotions. And it's so good too. I was reading an article that mentioned this performance and linked some photo gallerys that didn't work anymore, and I was about to start crying until I found this recording. Everyone say thank you to random live performance recorders on youtube!!

But yeah anyway I'm so normal about tablecloth poncho I promise. (The words of a liar.)
