Head (1968)

Directed by Bob Rafelson and Jack Nicholson

Written by Jacob Christopher

“Of course Head is an utterly and totally fragmented film. Among other reasons for making it was that I thought I would never get to make another movie, so I might as well make 50 to start out with and put them all in the same feature." - Bob Rafelson

Head is a fun film, not because of it's plot, but it's absence of any sensical story direction at all. Released with it's corresponding album, the film utilizes the talents of the boy band The Monkees traversing through an obstacle of hijinks on their movie set, searching for sense trapped in a surrealist inspired story progression. Taking a satirical tongue and cheek approach to it's humor and messaging. Expressed through it's dialogue and formalistic style of cinematography, often the point is played vaguely and subtly due to it's delivery. Exemplified as a pariah for the time, The Monkees, Hollywood TV's answer to The Beetles. Were a Family TV show tied with music production, blurring the lines between actors and musicians. From mid-sixties to the year of 1967, The Monkees group of boys, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, soared towards the top of American notoriety and attention, before the inevitable downfall that waits for most manufactured trends.

In a glory of self destruction, the creator of The Monkees Bob Rafelson and the boys of the band had set to create a film as if it were their last opportunity to throw every editing tool and story beat, accumulating into a fun mess of a send off for the band. Ultimately flopping at the box office in extortionary fashion, only garnering $16,111 in the box office. The ticket sales in comparison to it's budget of $750,000 clearly show the disparity of the investment's outcome.

Reception during the airing of the movie was very mixed if not mostly negative, To quote a review of the time by Renata Alder of The New York Times: Head "might be a film to see if you have been smoking grass, or if you like to scream at the Monkees, or if you are interested in what interests drifting heads and hysterical high-school girls." Alienating their audience of families due to the un-child friendly subject matters shown, while also unable to reach an adult audience due to the already concrete notions of The Monkees tween image. Despite the poor reception of the film upon release a cult following for the film had managed to be birthed from the film's obscurity and ambitious story telling.

The film is the lease bit conventional in everything it does, exemplified from it's camera cuts, video editing and especially the lack of coherent story progression. In the beginning sequences of the movie Mickey Dolenz jumps from a bridge and into the water, where psychedelics sequences of inverted colors and high contrasting visuals of mermaids swimming around his drowning body, transitioning backwards in time to the band being kissed by a woman, who rates all of the members to be about the same quality of partner. Where things become harder to describe is the plot of the film, or as many put it, the lack of a plot at all. However there is more to be dissected than just face value, or even what the film just shows you at all. Most of what makes Head (1968) interesting isn't just the summer of love aesthetic brought by the hippie movement, but also the martyr philosophy the the band and directors try to make of the novelty.

(Bottom Image: Moments before the execution of Nguyễn Văn Lém)

To emphasize the tumultuous times of the late sixties, Martin Luther King had unfortunately been assassinated in Memphis, and war waged furious. The scene that had staked itself into my attention, forcing me to see this film as something more than just zany 60s sitcom antics. Is that of the execution of Nguyễn Văn Lém, a captive of south Vietnamese troops. A polarizing scene to include, especially regarding The Monkees previous audience of children and family orientated television. For many it can be deemed as none less than shock, but also play part of the messaging of the time. 1968, the Vietnam War curtained prevalent over many lives. In usage of the execution, the scene plays also as commentary on what America's television programming hid from it's audience, The Monkees used as a blanket of blissful ignorance, but not anymore. Unappreciated for it's time, Head (1968) has aged into a relic of the past to be appreciated by a newer audience in retrospective perspective.

"Dating Peter Tork Would Be Like..." [Scrapped]

[Teacher!Peter x Librarian!Black!Female!Reader Headcannon]

A/N: This was bound to happen eventually...just glad I was able to get this out of my system; WwaBRiM per usual and likes, comments, & reblogs are strongly encouraged(=

Era: Mid-70s (around the time Peter became a teacher)

Warnings: Mentions of fooling around, and light makeout stuff.

Yeah, you knew who Peter Tork was....as did every young woman that came of age in the 60s and had a working television in the house.

Re-run episodes of The Monkees is what helped you get through your last year of college, and although you hate to admit it, you'll be forever grateful(:

Your love for sharing knowledge led you to get a Bachelor's in Education, but your spite of those around you saying that men don't like women that are "overachievers" got you your Master's in Library Science.

You have quite a few interests: you paint, sing, and play the guitar now and then, and read and write a lot of poetry and stories.

So, you took those skills and became a Librarian at a nice high school in the hills, and the job is very enjoyable, just as you would’ve expected it to be.

You expected there to be hundreds of things checked in and out per day and thousands per week, resulting in hours of restocking shelves and setting displays.

And you were expecting to have engaging conversations with students as they tell you about their recent reads, while you return the favor by giving them even more book recommendations to further expand their minds.

What you DID NOT expect when the new school year started, was for an oddly familiar man to approach your counter inquiring about an instructor’s copy of a textbook that he’d ordered for his science course.

And you’re still not sure if it was your slight gasp or starstruck demeanor over the random circumstances, but something made him chuckle at the situation while you spoke in disbelief, “Nooo, you can’t be”, “The only problem is, I am”.

Far off from his former band days, Peter grew his hair out much longer and sported a beard that you thought fit him very well. He also dropped his alias and went by his actual surname, Mr. Thorkelson. A subtle change that made a huge difference.

At first, you weren’t so sure that Peter could be that friendly a person, even bashful at times, but you learned early on that it was all genuine.

That was just the kind of person he was. On the job, Peter could talk to anyone and make friends with everyone.

But after a while, you noticed he went out of his way to make conversation with you…even though the library is nowhere en route to his classroom.

You two soon became good friends, bonding over various things from literature to your shared love for the folk music scene.

Whenever you had free time in your schedules, you’d be at each other’s respective workstations scribbling ideas on chalkboards or making pyramids out of lost library cards and bookmarks (that you’d return to the students that lost them immediately after).

Somedays you and Peter could even be found in the teacher’s lounge, sharing reviews of movies you’d watched in theaters that past weekend.

Your coworkers started calling you “two peas in a pod” and neither of you minded it…as a matter of fact, you were both kinda hoping the phrase spoke for itself.

There would be days when you’d set a big apple on his desk before he got to his classroom in the morning, and he’d return the gratitude by waiting until you were in the back of the library somewhere, ID-ing some publishers, before placing a folded paper crane on a short stack of books on your counter.

Of course, there was something there! But nobody said anything for fear of ruining the great friendship you both had cultivated for months.

But in the thrill of the moment, and contrary to Mr. Thorkelson’s belief, you took the liberty of making the first move…and at the Christmas faculty party of all places!

The event was off school grounds at a venue in the city. The night was young, and it was freeing to see your coworkers let loose outside of the professional box that working as educators placed them in.

Add in the fact there was an open bar and everyone was basically on cloud nine.

There were Secret Santa gifts and party games, and one of them was, of course, "Truth or Dare".

Salaries were exposed, shots were taken, relationships and teacher pregnancies were revealed…

But your new Library Assistant, with a suggestive amount of wine in their system, took the liberty of shooting Peter a truth question: "I saw you put a crane on (y/n)'s desk a week or so ago. Do you two have something going on?"

Your eyes shot up from the unopened Secret Santa gift you received just in time to witness Peter finish his old-fashioned, "With all the love and respect in the world, no. We do not."

Your co-workers gave lively reactions, and the game quickly moved ahead, but now the tension between you two became suddenly unavoidable.

Peter couldn't bring himself to look at you, let alone in your direction. He thought he messed up everything, by not saying something different. He felt like it set his relationship with you back by a long shot. How was he supposed to recover from that if he ever did find the balls to confess that he thought the world of you?

You, on the other hand, didn't think much of it….mostly. I mean, sure, you did like him….A LOT. But for the sake of professionalism, you figured that if it wasn't meant to be, then it wasn't meant to be.

The evening progressed and so did the party, but you figured you'd make your discreet leave and wave goodbye to a few close coworkers early.

You saved Peter's goodbye for last and gave him a warm embrace like usual along with a warm message, "Don't worry, okay? We're good! I'll see you back at The Hills after the break. Merry Christmas, Peter."

And off you went…….to the venue's unsupervised walk-in coat closet to retrieve yours. It took you a bit of sliding around coats on hangers to track it down but you finally were able to get a hold of it.

When you opened the closet door to exit, Peter was on the other side holding your Secret Santa gift you left behind.

You kinda just stood there? Mouth open and in shock, but the good kind. You even backed up a little bit, hoping that he would walk in.

And he did. Shutting the closet door behind him, Peter stepped forward, closing the gap as if he was just a short space away from you.

"You forgot this on the table and I didn't want you to leave without it." He smiled, handing the gift back to you as you handed your coat over for him to hold.

Unraveling the silver and gold wrapping paper, you couldn't help but rest your forehead against the gift and laugh: a hardcover copy of "Origami: The Art of Paper Folding" by Robert Harbin.

You were tickled because you KNEW it was Peter, and he couldn't help but smile at your infectious laugh.

"What? What's so funny?", "No, it's just this is so adorable! Did you plan this? Did you pull strings to be my Secret Santa?", "I didn't, I promise that was coincidental. I just figured since I was making so many of these and leaving them with you, I'd give you something so you can make your own.", "But I like when you make them for me!"

Your eyes were filled with such sincerity, and you were HOPING…that it would be enough for him to TAKE A HINT…..

You didn't wait. You kissed Peter, but he immediately followed suit, cupping your face as he leaned into it. The book slipped out of your hand as Peter grabbed your waist, backing you two into the wall as the line of hung coats surrounded you both.

The kissing intensified, and Peter dropped your coat to the floor as he unbuttoned his cotton henley shirt, never taking his lips off yours. You lost all sense of time. The closet got smaller and warmer by the minute, and frankly, you were feeling more aroused than you ever had in your life. And he sensed that, but he also respected you much more than just minimizing what you two share to a quick fuck in a stuffy coat closet at the faculty Christmas party.

So in the midst of you reaching to undo his belt buckle, he stopped you, fixed you both back up, retrieved his corduroy jacket, and kissed your forehead.

Gathering your things, you both left the party together, unnoticed, and hand in hand.

You two finished the evening by watching artists perform at a venue you randomly stumbled upon.

❣Dating Life❣

You and Peter becoming official made everything that you were already platonically doing regularly, feel a lot more special.

You still bother each other on school grounds, but now you enjoy one another off of school grounds as well! (In more ways than one)

Movie theaters, plays, concerts, farmers markets, and bookstores on the weekends. And you have sleepovers at either of your apartments.

You always love his place. It always feels cozy and nostalgic because of some things he has around from his days as a television star.

He'll lay his head in your lap in his living room conversation pit and share stories from the set, and you enjoy every moment of it. He plays his guitar or piano and you'll listen or sing along.

But you're convinced he loves your place more. He adores just how much "the essence of your apartment matches your personality" or whatever that means.

You'll admit, you have a lot of scholastic things lying around that gives away your identity as an educator, but your apartment holds much more than that!

He loves your collection of autobiographies, novels, and poetry books of Black authors, and finds joy in having you read passages written by esteemed artists of the Harlem Renaissance to him as he listens intently.

You'll cook together and sit on your couch watching sitcoms, music, and game shows.

And he was SO determined in helping you out whenever you have a wash day, so you walked him through how you detangle your hair and he's been a specialist ever since😌

He will make up any and every excuse possible to hold you and just be in your space.

He loves when you just lay together in silence, preferably with the window open so you can hear the sounds of the outside world and everything happening around you both while you're in your little sacred space.

That's happened quite a few times on Sunday nights, which rolled over into Monday mornings…which resulted in carpools to work where you'd have to act like you two didn't just arrive together from the same place.

You were almost late quite a few times on those types of mornings, it's like Peter wouldn't let you shower and get dressed in peace without messing up your outfit due to his..............antics…..

Oh, he wasn't a saint. You've heard rumors of the parties he'd host at his old Hollywood home, but you didn't think he was THIS mischievous…

When it came to sex, you were far from innocent. But Peter brought out this adventurous side of you as far as stepping out of your comfort zone goes.

You went three rounds in the back of a van at a music festival high off Mary-Jane once because you kept giving him praise and it drove him insane.

Sure, the bedroom, shower, kitchen, and balcony were nice…..but the library back room, teacher's lounge, janitor's closet, his classroom, and school parking lot in his backseat were mind-numbing. There was also your childhood bedroom when you went back to visit once…It was an otherworldly experience.

And he's such a giver! His definition of helping you de-stress is going down on you while you vent about what happened during the day and how it made you feel (and how he's making you feel).

He LIVES for seeing you come undone and lose yourself in pleasure, it's a challenge to him almost.

You're careful with how blissed-out you look after he makes you finish because HE WILL immediately go again.

And that's basically Peter's whole thing, he lives to please and enjoys helping in any possible way he can

Like that one time you and your library assistant were supposed to go over to the primary school to read books to the little kids and sing songs while you played your guitar , but the assistant got sick so Peter gladly snatched up his guitar as well and went along as your Stories and Songs accomplice

[End of Writing]

I started writing this in May but I just had so much going on during the summer that I would have to keep pausing my writing and just add on when inspo hit. This is basically the entire headcannon I guess, but I just didn't know how to close this one out and I didn't wanna just abruptly stop, ya know? BUT my classes are starting back soon....and with that comes the random and unexpected spurts of writing inspiration so I'm hoping for the best😅

The longest interview with Eppy I've been able to track down thus far (I say that as if it wasn't super easy to find on YouTube lmao). It'd be nice if Murray could just ask the questions and not ramble for upwards of five minutes at a time (seriously, this is why my journalism teachers told us to be concise), but there's some nice insights from Brian as the interview progresses. He is a bit quiet at the start though because according to Nat Weiss, Brian took barbiturates just minutes before it started.

Backmask

Valerie Chill works for Hush Productions, which is Nicholas Hush’s record company. One day he has a dream for music, using the latest electronic distortion, to make music that is evil. Or seems evil. Or has magical qualities. He has Chill call up various places, Freemasons, an Institute for Psychic Research etc. The Freemason representative also works for the FBI. He and the Masons are unhappy that the Institute have bought up some Masonic texts.

It's the 1960s in New York. Hush and Chill are both gay. They met as Chill was selling Librium, as she deals drugs on the side and has been prescribed it by her therapist.

Hush’s project gets backing from the government, both the FBI/Mason and, mysteriously, the CIA fund it. He takes two bands, one some white boys from Long Island, the other some black lads from the Caribbean as he thinks ska might be the next thing. They work on their look, the music, the lyrics, the sound. Trying to make something new and evil. Something odd and magical.

Hush, always armed with a gun, becomes increasingly obsessed, has mood swings. Chill finds romance in the person of Sophia Blaine from the Institute. But Blaine isn’t the driving force there, and things start to spiral out of control even as the music starts to pick up. The CIA are trying drug trials and now Chill is finding herself inside Hush’s dream.

A walkthrough New Tork subcultures of the 60s, or a fairground mirror reflection of them, imagining how they might have come together (in different ways to how I seem to recall they actually did). If it’s occasionally confusing and scattershot, then so be it; how much more actual drugs, music and the occult were and are.

Read This: A mindbending exploration of music and (not quite) magical conspiracy in secret corners of 1960s New York Don’t Read This: Music didn’t happen this way, and probably can’t Disclosure: I received a review copy from Malarkey Books

~ ID and Joke Explanation under cut!

ID: the “man stares at other girl” meme, in which a man in a blue flannel and his presumed girlfriend, in a baby blue shirt, are on a walk, and the man is caught staring at another girl, in a red dress, while his presumed girlfriend stares in disgust. The heads of the “other girl” and man are replaced with fish, and the presumed girlfriend’s head is replaced with that of Monkees drummer Micky Dolenz.

Joke explanation: On March 14 2022, two days before this meme was posted, Monkees drummer Micky Dolenz was asked how much water he had dranken that day, to which he answered “I never drink water…. Fish have sex in it”

No but like seriously imagine it:

You’re seeing the beatles on a concert. Everyone is having a great time. The beatles seem a little excited. “We have a surprise for you guys.” John says. All of a sudden Bob Dylan comes out and starts singing “Hurricane.”When he gets to the chorus, someone else starts singing…

“She has colors everywhere, she combs her hair.”

Lights flash everywhere, and you see The beatles singing “Hurricane” along with Bob Dylan, while The Rolling Stones are singing “She’s A Rainbow” Everyone in the crowd is going wild and crying. Then if things couldn’t get any better, Peter Tork and Davy Jones walk onto stage and kiss, holding the gay flag.

Peter Tork, 1967.

“Peter was absolutely handsome in an all-white outfit for a banjo solo. Nobody wanted him to go.” - Charlene Steffens (16), on The Monkees’ Cow Palace concert; Tiger Beat (?), 1967

“[Monkees fan Loreen Mahoney said that Peter] ‘looked absolutely gorgeous, his hair was so shiny.’ […] Of the whole performance [in Seattle] she says she remembers most of all, Peter’s opening words of: ‘Let you in on a secret, we love you all.’” - The Calgary Albertan, September 2, 1967 (x)

“Then, clad in a very tasteful chunky knitted white sweater and knitted trousers, Peter Tork returned with his banjo for one of the highlights of the evening — a beautiful version of a Buffy Sainte-Marie folk song. By straining all my ear-power in one direction I could just catch the sound [over the screaming of the fans] — at least sufficient to realize that this is a Monkee talent we should hear much more of.” - David Hughes, Disc & Music Echo, July 8, 1967
