“There’s a phone call for Mike [at home]. It’s Peter, and he wants Mike to come over. Mike hops up from the table and says, ‘You might as well come along’ — and you happily trail behind him. Soon, the two of you pull up into the cement paved carport beside Peter’s house. As you enter, Peter is finishing tuning his guitar.  ‘You are just in time for the concert,’ he says. He explains that he has learned several new songs from a New York buddy who has been living at his house, and he proceeds to play and sing them for you and Mike. When the concert is over, Mike has to split.” - article by David Pearl, 16 Magazine (January 1968) (You can read the full article over at Sunshine Factory.)

I'm still relatively new to the world of the Monkees, but I was astounded to learn about David Pearl and how an article in 1968 heavily implied he and Davy were a thing.

David Pearl: The Fifth Monkee

Have you ever noticed a tall, smiling, suntanned young man with brown curly hair standing in the background while the Monkees take central a

Includes quotes like

Since he’s very particular about the girls he dates, David doesn’t consider himself a party boy. Unless he really likes a girl he’d rather stay home and watch “Mission Impossible” on television than be out with a girl he doesn’t care for. Most of the time he and Davy get together and shoot pool, minus dates. “These are the best evenings,” David laughs. “We’ve found a new spot down on the strip below Davy’s house called The Store. We can play pool together for hours, then go up to Davy’s house and write songs.”

and

David remembers his first evening with Davy as “one of the grooviest experiences of my life.” Even today David describes Davy as “a very real person. He’s all there all the time.”

I guess then, words like that didn't raise eyebrows, but certainly now my eyebrows are all the way raised.

How else am I supposed to interpret "David remembers his first evening with Davy as 'one of the grooviest experiences of my life.'"

I mean, that's INSANE.

I can't be the only one who noticed this, right?

Monkees & You by David Pearl from 16 (December 1967)

This is a very special day in your life. YOU are about to join Davy, Micky, Peter and Mike at a Monkee recording session!

On East 24th Street in New York City there is an impressive building with the words RCA-Victor emblazoned across the front of it. It has a very elegant lobby complete with potted plants, couches, blown-up displays of album covers (those of the Monkees being most prominent, of course) and an immovable receptionist...
