Interview with the Monkees make-up guy. That impish grin Davy does at the end kills me.
Iain Lee Pocket Radio Show- Peter Tork Interview 2012
Episode 3 wends its way. the show was really starting to take shape by now and getting into a groove. It was recorded shortly after Davy Jones dies (Feb 29th 2012 was his passing) so it kind of has a Monkees vibe. Peter Tork was gracious enough to come on and talk about Davy. Vinny and Eloise somehow make it on to the show, I don't know how, and the phone calls are random and marvellous.
The bonus audio included here is the full Nemith interview I did in I think 2010. I've also included some chatter with him that was taken before the interview started. I only just discovered it today so thought I'd chuck it in. I hope he doesn't mind - Michael, if you do, let me know.
Bob Rafelson: You've reached a certain amount of success. If that were suddenly, like, taken away-- wiped out-- where would you be today?
Peter: I'd go back to the Village and be a folk singer.
Bob: How 'bout you, Davy?
Davy: I'd go back to the Village and watch him be a folk singer.
Bob: Mike?
Mike: I'd probably go burn the village. (laughter)
Micky: I'd probably be dating my science teacher.
Bob: Hey, Peter, is there something that you'd really want, uh, that you'd really flip out over?
Peter: Yes.
Bob: What?
Peter: Texas.
Bob: Davy?
Davy (laughing): Ursula Andress.
Bob: Who?
Davy: Ursula Andress. No, a jet. Y'know those little jets?
Bob: Yeah.
Davy: 'Cause Mike can fly it.
Mike: Well, ah, I wouldn't really buy anything like that, y'know. I mean, there's no-- the things that money can buy, I can almost buy, I suppose-- Uh, thanks, Dave. The only thing that you can, uh... We've all got what we want, man.
Bob: Mick?
Micky: What?
Bob: Yeah, what, babe?
Micky: What would I buy?
Bob: Yeah.
Micky: Well, I kinda look at it-- I--
Peter: If-if-if you could buy something that money couldn't buy, what would you buy?
Micky: Yeah.
Mike: Which is weird.
Micky: If I, if I could-- if I was gonna buy something, I kinda look at it the opposite way around. I figure when, when you have enough money, then, then you don't need all the, all the material stuff around ya. I'd like to, I'd like to buy--
Mike: Sure you do.
Micky: --big city blocks of buildings and plant orange groves.
Mike: Hey, I gotta tell you of a very freaky idea--
Bob: What?
Mike: --that, a local, uh, guys-- uh, a local gang-- gang of guys is propogating now.
Bob: What's that?
Mike: And that is digging things that are ugly. Y'know? The Hearts and Flowers do that, you see-- that's a group-- and, uh, they say that in order to dig things, uh, that are pretty takes no special talent. What it really takes a talent to do is dig something ugly.
Bob: Like what?
Mike: Well, I don't know. You dig something like a garage door, y'know. I mean, how many people say "OH! Look at that garage door," y'know? I mean, you get a lot of this stuff: "Oh, what beautiful azaleas." That doesn't--
Bob: Does that apply to, uh, people, too?
Mike: Well, it applies to you a lot, Bob.
Bob (laughing): Thanks, baby.
[EDIT]
Davy: I think I--
Mike: I think we oughta go on a National Monkees Love Something Ugly This Week.
Davy: Yeah. Man you better watch out for these guys.
Mike: You are not. I'm uglier than you.
Davy: You are not. I'm the ugliest.
Mike: I'm the ugliest! It's me, it's me, it's me!
Micky: All right! I lose!
(Peter sneezes)
Davy: Wait, Keeva-- come here a minute. C'mere. C'mere. Wait, man. Wait, man.
Peter: (to Keevea, blocking his shot) Will you get out of my key, please?
Davy: Just fixin' your face up, man.
Keeva (laughing): Okay, alright.
Davy: There you go. Okay. Go on, man. You're okay now. Where's your glasses, man? Oh--
Keeva: Okay, alright.
Davy: --wait, wait. Okay. (turns to camera) I'd like you all to know that this is Keeva. Now Keever's our make-up man, man. He's the greatest guy in the world. Well--
Bob: Does he make-- What does he do for you?
Peter: He makes up.
Davy: He makes up, man.
Bob: Hey, Keeva--
Peter: If we have a fight, he makes up.
Davy: If we have a fight--
Bob: Wait a minute. Wait, let me ask you something--
Keeva Uh, yes?
Bob: --really, while the boys are there. Is it difficult working with these guys?
Keeva: No, I, I, I like 'em very much, so uh it's not difficult. I'm a father.
Davy: (grabs Keeva's shirt) Say something better than that, Keeva! (Davy hugs him.)
Bob: Mike, this afternoon we had lunch--
Peter: (off camera) Hi, Bob.
Bob: --and you said the one thing you really wanted was a house. And I want to know why that's so important to you to have your own house. (laughter) No, I mean I don't know why.
Mike: Why do I want a house?
Bob: Yeah. Why?
Mike: Why do you like that shirt, Bob? "...Why do you want a house?" To keep the wind off of me. (laughter, Mike looks around in disbelief) It's unbel-iev-able! (laughs) ...Why do I want a house? (sighs in amusement) Well, when it rains, you get wet if you live in a parking lot.
I am watching old monkees interviews because of ONE FUCKING REASON. 80S PETER. He's great.
The Iain Lee Pocket Radio Show Episode 3 : Iain Lee
Iain Lee, a member of the Psycho Jello Facebook group is a radio DJ in the UK. Today he interviewed Peter Tork. Here's what he posted on the Facebook Page.
I was lucky enough to interview Peter Tork this afternoon (10.30am EST) We chatted for about 15 minutes. He spoke eloquently about the loss of Davy, his controversial appearance on the Maddows show, how he has made peace with Michael and the possibility of the 3 guys putting on a memorial concert. It's part of the Iain Lee Pocket Radio Show that you can download from iTunes (episode 3) or here http://www.iainlee.com/2012/03/the-iain-lee-pocket-radio-show-episode-3/ Peters bit is about 25 minutes in, although there are plenty of mentions of Davy throughout. With love Iain

A friend of mine is interviewing Peter Tork and Davy Jones this week...
...and he wants me to help him think of some new and exciting questions to ask them.
Is there anything you've wanted to ask those guys? Let me know, I'll pass it along.
Check out this twenty minute interview with Micky Dolenz with Iain Lee from 2010.
It's a rad interview, and Iain is a big Monkees fan so he knows his stuff and asks the right questions.
