RIP Peter Tork

Well….almost forgot to do this one after the death of Peter Tork at 77 earlier in the week…yeah, I know, he’s not a household name but he was to we who grew up in the 60′s and watched the Monkees on tv….now, I’m not one of those people who are going to denigrate their music since I liked it back then…and some of their music was written by great songwriters like Carlole King and Boyce and Hart, and many others who toiled in obscurity…and, back then, it really didn’t matter that they were a tv creation…I mean, who can hear “Last Train to Clarksville” and not smile a little bit? So, RIP Peter….
