#they brought about their own destruction and THATS the torksmith truth.

[sweetertork]

i don't wanna be weird about this because obviously rpf isn't everyone's cup of tea but i really do believe that understanding torksmith is the key to understanding the monkees. like im not only here for "the yaoi" or whatever im mostly here cos the monkees as a phenomenon is Fascinating and head is a good movie and the show and the music are good as well. but i do genuinely believe torksmith is a key factor to the horrors. you don't have to be "a truther" or think that there was actually smth romantic or sexual happening between them. even if you see them as more than just two guys in a show/band together you surely understand that whatever the hell was up with those guys was the catalyst to the monkees destruction. we all know they were doomed from the start and obviously head was the first major step in the death of the monkees but i really do think if it weren't for the weird tension between mike and peter, exacerbated by every aspect of monkees stardom and their management and The Way Things Went Down, well then i don't think peter would have left the group and then it would have all fallen apart between 1968 and 1970. this my truth
