Peter Tork and I.J. Jefferson during the filming of Head, February 1968.

In London in January 1968, Peter was interviewed by the British press, and had this to say “about The Monkees as a group”:

“I wouldn’t like to say whether we as a group could outlive the TV series. I can’t visualize myself as anything but a Monkee right now. Micky is a very good friend of mine and Davy and I share a very deep bond of understanding. We probably understand each other more than anyone understands us. And Mike is the complete opposite to me except that we share the same religious beliefs — something I find very difficult to understand.” - Disc & Music Echo, January 13, 1968

* * * Peter Tork: “We did decide to do a movie, and we wanted to do a movie that was not a — not another episode. I’d seen, you know, movies made from TV series, and all they did was just expand the episode. And we said, ‘Well, let’s not do that.’ So we didn’t. Ah, and the movie died. (laughs)” Q: “You know, it was a good movie.” PT: “I thought so, yeah.” Q: “It does well in rentals.” PT: “Yeah.” Q1: “People go to rent it. Why did nobody go to see it in ‘69?” PT: “It was so terribly promoted. It was promoted as a hippie, head movie to the teeny-boppers and as a teeny-bopper to the heads, and so nobody got it. It was just, it was all badly marketed. And I, I think the producers were upset with us personally because we were beginning to act like… (chuckles) you know, there’s always this problem when your children start acting like, like they… they, you know, know who they are, it’s always conflict with your, with the adults. And they actually had, the producers actually didn’t like us growing up, I think. I mean, they were conflicted, they had their Geppetto complex.” - GOLD 104.5, 1999

As for the scene pictured here:

“All four of us jump off a bridge. There’s a long sequence of us falling into the water. We hit the water and get carried away by mermaids, and this thing called ‘The Porpoise Song’ comes on. After a while it suddenly seems like we have been looking through a fish tank, and on the other side is this very, very pretty woman who kisses each one of us. When the woman kisses Mike, he whispers to her, ‘How about you and me ditching these guys and going out together?’ She looks at him and says, ‘Are you kidding?’ and walks off.” - Peter Tork, When The Music Mattered (1984)

I know most people don't care about anything unless it has to do with the U.S. but can we please start talking about the Canadian election.

Please don't vote for Poilievre. He's basically the Canadian Trump and plans to put in place laws that harm trans youth, and lots of other shit.

Please vote istg this is the only way anything will get better. Poilievre has been kissing millionaires and billionaires asses. He'll make life even harder, and he loves Trump.

Reblogs are appreciated, especially if you aren't Canadian.

TORK TUESDAY ! MYFAG !
