you tube: the monkees :: i had a major crush on the monkees

it's my birthday! i had a crush on the monkees as a girl + i still love them!
in the seventies, i went to visit my uncle in laurel canyon in los angeles + he drove us over to see a hippy bathroom he made for the groovy band threedognight of "jeremiah was a bullfrog" fame. the bathroom walls + ceiling were all mirrored + the sink + trim were redwood. it was daytime, so the bandmembers were asleep. they had a hallway lined with framed gold records. the big vinyl kind. i was at the pool reading the director's chairs with names of movie stars like karen black. i heard a dog barking + looked over the fence + there was mickey dolenz in jean cut offs playing with a dog!!!!

update: whoa, threedognight had some other songs besides jeremiah was a bullfrog, i just went to their site to look for a link to the song + it says,
"from 1969-1974, nobody had more top 10 hits, moved more records, or sold more concert tickets. during this period three dog night was undoubtedly the most popular band in america: 21 consecutive top 40 hits + 12 straight gold lps. by late '75, they had sold nearly 50 million records."
