Davy Jones, 1945-2012

Sunday, March 04, 2012 By Mayer Danzig

It was another tough week for rock and roll with the passing of Davy Jones of the legendary Monkees. Whether one caught the tv series on its initial run in the 1960’s or the re-runs that followed for decades, it was hard not to smile at the group’s antics and enthusiasm. That was especially true for Jones.

Although he was best known for the Monkee’s hit “Daydream Believer,” I’m partial to the Neil Diamond penned “Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow).”
