"The best advice I've ever given or received, in or out of the entertainment business, is as follows: 'Get a good lawyer.'"
George Michael Dolenz Jr. first established himself as a performer at age ten when, under the stage name of Micky Braddock, he starred in his first TV series, "Circus Boy," which aired from 1956 to 1958. In his teens, Micky guest-starred on a number of television shows. He also learned to play guitar and performed with a number of rock 'n roll bands, including one called The Missing Links.
In autumn 1965, Micky was one of 400 applicants who responded to a trade ad announcing auditions for a new TV show about a rock band. Micky auditioned for The Monkees TV show playing Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode," and was chosen along with three other actors - Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork.
The Monkees' debut single, "Last Train to Clarksville," featuring Micky on lead vocals, hit the charts September 10, 1966 and rocketed to number one. Two days later, the television show debuted on NBC to great success. The TV ratings remained high for two seasons and Micky and the band starred in their own feature film, "Head", a 1968 psychedelic romp co-written by a young Jack Nicholson. The movie is now considered a cult classic.
When chosen for the role of The Monkees' drummer, Dolenz signed up for daily drum lessons in order to fake playing them well enough for the cameras. When being able to actually play became crucial to the Monkees project, he had gotten to the point where he could carry off a stage show, but playing drums and holding tempo proved difficult in the recording studio. He played drums on every track of their "Headquarters" album, but gladly relinquished the role to studio drummers for their later albums.
When asked what he did when The Monkees first broke up, Dolenz replied, "I think I slept for about two years!"
Dolenz continued singing on records after The Monkees ended, with a series of singles contracts for labels like MGM; many of the records were made at his own home studio. While they usually found critical praise, none became hits. Dolenz also found work doing voiceovers for cartoons, like "The Funky Phantom" and "Devlin" He also auditioned for the role of Fonzie on "Happy Days". However, at 6' he was considerably taller than the other main cast members, and the producers decided that the Fonzie character should be more at an eye level with his peers. A search for a shorter actor resulted in Henry Winkler's hiring. (Dolenz later praised Winkler's portrayal, in his autobiography.) Ironically, while Dolenz was exactly 3 inches taller than the 5'9" Ron Howard, Winkler was 5'6", exactly 3 inches shorter.
Dolenz owned the third Moog Synthesizer ever commercially sold (the first two belonged to Wendy Carlos and Buck Owens); his performance on The Monkees song "Daily Nightly" (written by Michael Nesmith) was the first use of a synthesizer on a rock recording. He eventually sold his instrument to Bobby Sherman. (IMDb)
Happy Birthday, Micky Dolenz!

I heard, that Lucy (i love Lucy) didn't want a pretty co worker, um her side kick, Ethel. So, Ethel had to gain weight in order to be her side kick.

Good afternoon Family :wave:
Big snow storm hit:rolleyes::giggle: got about 4 inches so far with another inch comin. They closed all the schools and other activities thinking it was gonna be a lot worse(8 inches w/ice under). I remember when I was a kid there was snow butt deep all winter long. Roads had walls of snow and they hardly ever closed school or other stuff. But back then our winters were different than now, they were real winters.:crazy: And with all these kids off school do you think any of them have the insentive to go around and see if they could make some bucks by shovelin drives:facepalm:. Ok I'll stop complainin just came in from cleanin the drive off.
How's everyone doin today?

Today, I was just speaking with someone about how these winters nowadays are different from when growing up. Pretty sure, there has only been one snow storm where the snow was wet and could build anything, in the last 17 years. All the rest have been dry couldn't even make a snowball. Least, that's how it's been here.
Yes, they were calling for nine or more inches here, then went down to four to seven inches. Ended up snowing around four to five. Not complaining, least it is something and more than an inch. Anything will help wirh an on going drought.
And, doing just fine :)

I heard the theory that USAid was funneling money into chemtrailing, and now that they've been shut down, people are reporting seeing clear skies for the first time since they can remember.

That chemtrailing may have had to do with diminishing snow, increasing drought. It was meant to be destructive.

Maybe things will change now. I hope so.

Haha. Women are insecure in our culture, and it's TV's and movies that have made us that way.

What they couldn't do anything about was how adorable Desi Arnaz was. He was the big talent in that pair. Oh I know, Lucy was a skilled and talented clown, but when you watch those re-runs of the original "I Love Lucy", it's those moments when he performs in his nightclub that you get chills. I read that he escaped Cuba just minutes ahead of being picked up by Castro's police, but that might be Wiki fiction. It says his father was captured and taken to jail, and their property confiscated.

Yeah, they ramped it up after they got more scientific data in from using it...
after they used this crap in the Vietnam War.
If I could only find the videos that showed this, and a an old cartoon showing this, plus a one that showed china using it on a wedding, I would post them, unfortunately, am unable to find them.
