[font=century gothic]Quite a shrine there lady. Nice to see you added Eminem to keep piece among all those Als :goof:[/font][/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][quote=Austruck]Ha! I liked the Monkees back when they were popular but I was just young enough to not "get" the whole joke behind their entire existence. I just knew I had a crush on Mickey Dolenz. :D[/quote]

[font=century gothic]We didn't have cable growing up, but there were always summers @ my grandma's in Indiana.

Nickelodeon use to run the Monkees and I loved it. Shame the Beatles ripped them off.[/font][/quote]

[quote=Sedai]My perspective during the Monkees set was "Get me out of here, and FAST." 

Luckily, Al had played already.[/quote]

[quote=Austruck][quote=Sedai]I saw Al back in the late 80s with...jeez, I want to say The Monkees??[/quote]
Yes! He did tour with the Monkees (or, they with him, depending on your perspective) back then! :)[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois]I've seen Al live twice in fifteen years and the second time was over a decade ago now - as I recall, his last tour date here was a good few years ago and in a festival lineup to boot. That was disappointing but what can you do. Twice is better than never and both shows were great, especially the latter because he did "Albuquerque".[/quote]

[quote=Austruck][quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]I always memba' WA from the 80's and 90's. I always thought he was neat.

Then I started hearing all of these comedians talk about him. And rave about him. And see how many tickets he sold for his tours.

Wowza. It must really be somethin'.[/font][/quote]
Multimedia craziness. Costume changes all over the place. GREAT fun for all ages. And he IS an all-around nice guy in real life. Courteous to fans and other artists alike. It's no coincidence he's been doing this for 40 years and is stronger than ever. (He's getting his own star on the Walk of Fame on August 27, finally!)[/quote]
