On the set of "The Wild Monkees," 1967.

"Peter Tork comes over and plops down next to you in a director's-type chair. He starts clowning around, but after a bit he settles down and starts reading a book. He sees you looking and explains, 'This is a book of some of the excerpts of the Upanishads. Actually, these are excerpts from ancient Hindu writings. I guess you could say that in a sense they are like the Bible, only they were written many centuries before the old testament.' Peter stops speaking for a moment. 'Am I boring you?' he asks gently. After you assure him that is not boring anyone, he continues, 'Well, the Upanishads are simply but beautifully written. I mean, they are quite easy to understand. You can buy the Mentor pocket edition for about 50 cents —' Just about that time, Peter becomes aware of 16's camera focusing on him. He promptly becomes a clown again, laughing and joking and holding his book myopically up to his eyes. You realize that you have just had a glimpse of the real Peter Tork — the sensitive, sincere young man who hides behind the veneer of a silly-funny Monkee. And it makes you feel very warm that for a brief moment you have glimpsed Peter Tork's secret self." - Gloria Stavers, 16, February 1968

where big time rush goes wrong is that they focus too much on the music. where the monkees went right is that you could turn on the television and see four guys in a band never play music but somehow take down an entire foreign spy operation. that’s what it’s really about

The Monkees and The Beatles being friends is something that can be so personal

GET PETER TORKED !!!!
