#97 special

Mary Ann: so you are the camera man. Why did you run away?

Camera 9: I wasn't wearing the recording helmet. I don't like strangers seeing me without it

Mary Ann: so it's true you are weird! Where is your coworker?

I know she says this because someone just described him as so:

Random person guy: 00 news crew? That guy over there is the camera man! Weird guy. He is called "camera something"

But Stefan doesn't know that! From his point of view, his fame and reputation of being "weird" went all the way to the police. (But he should be ok. He doesn't seem to mind)

On the other hand, running away from the police because you don't wanna be seen is something a weird person would do...or a criminal...

Which he is, technically.

Since he is, by definition, illegally in the country

Hey NP! It occurred to me that this year marks the 20th anniversary of the '97 reunion special. Have you heard any rumors that it may be rereleased on DVD/BluRay/digitally, and if not, how likely do you think the possibility might be?

Christina! This is an excellent question. Nez actually just mentioned the ‘97 special in an interview he recently did on a Monkees podcast (which you can listen to by clicking HERE). He basically says that he might release a few clips on the newly-created Videoranch Youtube channel, but that’s as far as he’s going to go with it without talking to the other Monkees. Nez actually seemed to think there wasn’t/isn’t much interest in the ‘97 special (informally known as A Lizard Sunning Itself on a Rock), so if folks perhaps make a little noise and clue him in…who knows? We can keep our fingers crossed. If nothing else, it would be nice to hear some audio commentary to explain any/all of the following…

Monkees Livestream awesomeness

Just want to offer big-time kudos to the two people responsible for today's Monkees livestream, goodtimemusic (for suggesting it) and revychumso (for hosting it)! Folks, if you're a newer Monkees fan or even if you're not, but don't have many other Monkees fans around you, Livestreams are a fantastic way to watch any and all things Monkees-related with fellow fans from across the country and the world. There is truly nothing like flailing over and laughing at the same moments with other people who actually "get it," and so if you have a chance to attend future livestreams (as Rev has said she will be trying to host), definitely consider joining in on the fun!
