As you guys have probably already guessed, I have this penchant for being…different.
(There will be no misting here; this is a memorial.  Enjoy your incredulity in the privacy of your own thoughts.)
When my high-school contemporaries were rocking out to Boston & Skynrd, I was firmly ensconced in Top 40.  When the Sibling Unit™ was imbibing Coca-Cola, I had to go with Dr Pepper.
And when my brother was in the midst of his own personal Beatlemania…it was the Monkees for me.
We lost one of my favorite lead singers yesterday.  Davy Jones was 66.
Jones was a former racehorse jockey-turned-actor who soared to fame in 1965 when he joined The Monkees and they embarked on an adventure that included a wildly popular U.S. television show. Jones sang lead vocals on songs like “I Wanna Be Free” and “Daydream Believer.”
Feel free to go read the rest.
Davy Jones was one of the good guys.  (All the Monkees are, but Davy especially.)  He left us too soon, and we grieve with his family.
Godspeed, Davy.  You’re missed already.
