mother mike makin sure her kids get off the plane alright
During the Headquarters recording sessions, 1967.
Peter Tork: âWhen I broke up with The Monkees, I left because I couldnât get those guys back into the studio to do the same kind of thing that weâd done on our third album, which was Micky on drums, Michael on guitar, me on piano, our producer on bass, Davy Jones playing rhythm sections, and then hiring the occasional string player or something like that. Micky said, âYou canât go back.â He thought he was Thomas Wolfe. And Davy said, âI donât wanna be banging a tambourine day in, day out. You guys, it takes you 54 takes to get your parts down, Iâve got my part down first take. Just bang a tambourine. Iâm sick of banging a tambourine, Peter, I hope you donât mind.â âOkay, Davy.â And so we went into this mixed mode. But I wanted the guys to be a real, live group. I had this Pinocchio/Geppetto complex, you know. And when they wouldnât go for it, I really â it burned me out. And there I was being burnt out because things wouldnât happen my way, and it was a case of His Majesty The Baby, trying to, you know, have his own way. If I had had the good sense God gave me, I might have noticed that I was having my own personal way, that is, in the sense that I wanted for myself was happening. I could be in the studio playing bass or guitar or piano on every single cut The Monkees did from then on if I wanted to, but that wasnât enough for me, I wanted things for other people to do, otherwise I wanted to produce and direct and write the script for the whole shebang.â Q: âWhy did you want everyone to be playing? Because you thought it was more honest? Or was there another reason?â PT: âI thought it was more honest, I thought it was a bigger deal, I wanted a real live group, I thought that this was the way things were done; I was a victim of the same illusions that other people were criticizing us for shattering in their lives. In other words, âYouâre not a â you donât just do this all by yourselves, youâre not an organic group, you donât this, you donât that, and how could you, youâve broken my heart.â As if, you know, as if weâve broken their heart, as if it wasnât the shattering of false illusions. If you hang on to false illusions, of course your heartâs gonna get broken.â Q: âDid you try to organize the band to maybe rebel against ââ PT: âMh-hm.â Q: ââ the producer.â PT: âWell, we did organize the band, and we did get â rebel against Don Kirshner, but it was Mike and me wanting to â each for reasons of our own â and Micky and Davy went along. And then we did the thing, and then everybody said, âWell, thatâs enough of that, thanks very much.â And I went, âNo, no, no, youâve got to do it the way we planned, the way I had in mind for us to do,â you know. The fact that everybody went along with what looked like my plan obscured my vision of the fact that everybody was doing what it was they thought they had to do for reasons of their own. And when their reasons changed, and their behavior changed, and my plan didnât change, I went after them screaming to try to mend my shattered illusions. What a jerk.â - NPR, 1983
âIâm so fond of Headquarters because that was the one we actually got to play on, that was our album, that was the garage band that we actually became playing its debut album. And we had a good time and I thought we put some good records together, and I thought â it stands up. Itâs a little thin, but what the heck. So were we at the time. (laughs)â - Peter Tork, GOLD 104.5, 1999

In my objectively correct opinion Micky got so much hotter as soon as he stopped straightening his hair
Of course the 15 year old that Sean spilled his guts out to over DM about his inheritance and his parents shit made Yuri on Ice/McLennon comparison posts. Never change Beatles lore.
Smth I notice that makes me feel kinda different from other transmascs or ppl who have chest dysphoria/want top surgery is my dysphoria is more physical than visual
Most people Iâve heard talk about chest dysphoria seem to care a lot about how their body is perceived (by others or themself). They bind to make their chest less visible, they want their chest to LOOK as flat as possible
For me binding doesnât do much. I mean, sure, seeing my chest is dysphoric, but putting one shirt over it so I donât see the skin is all I need to not even rlly notice. Yet, I still get dysphoric even when I do bind or fully hide my chest because I can FEEL it. I know itâs there physically. The weight, just the meer fact it exists and is on my body is what causes me the most dysphoria, not whether or not it can be seen. How well hidden smth is doesnât change whether or not it existsâŚ.
From the heart of unimaginable suffering, I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported my family đđť
Right now, famine is hitting us harder than ever, my heart cries whenever I go to the market to buy any basic necessities! The prices are crazy, and most days my children survive on just bread Hunger and thirst are destroying us, and cooking on fire increases our suffering unbearably! Severe eye and chest sensitivity, in addition to constant stomach pain due to the type of food and the way it is cooked.
All this while we flee from one place to another in fear of bombing, bullets, and imminent danger! I cannot describe what I feel, but it is a feeling beyond exhaustion!
Despite the exhaustion, your support gives us strength and I hope you will not let us down
If you can donate, please do so, or at least help us by sharing, so we can reach those who can Your kindness truly keeps us going
