by watching you on mtv? i hadn t thought about it in those terms. everything was incremental, but in the meantime it s only a step at a time and then the monkees came and went, and then a reunion, there will be a reunion, okay, step by step, make the reunion thing happen. going to be on mtv how lucky for the tour, that will be great. you went in to reruns at the same time the mtv ones at the same time you were getting back together. as far as we were getting back together. it was coincidental, a shot from on high. the monkees were formed for television, the capitalize on the success of the beatles. what did you think of the other guys in the band when you got put together with them? you weren t an organic band. somebody put you together, what did you think of them? what did i think of the guys? yes. over the long run or first blush? first blush. that was strange, you guys are the monkees, that was strange. how do you do? over the long run?
