with published dates straight off their monkees.net website. They start in Cali Nov 8., move thru the midwest, incl a stop in Chicago Nov. 16, and end in NYC Dec 2. On their website, there is a note from Mike explaining that he will join Peter and Mickey along with their back-up band for this tour. I'm sure that over on WLS FM 94.7 'the dickster' aka my favorite DJ legend, Dick Biondi, the wild I-tralian, (on from 11 pm-2am cst) will mention it tonight on his radio show. Give him a listen. I've posted one of the Monkees great 60s tunes called 'What Am I Doing Hangin Round?' I like how Mickey is screwing around in the background of the song waving bye-bye. He's funny. Here's some random trivia in case you like random trivia. Did you know the Monkees outsold both The Beatles and The Stones combined in, I think, 1965? Also, when the Monkees toured, they used a left-handed guitarist to open for them who was little-known but was totally off-the-wall incredible and getting his big break. His name?....I'm not kidding about this kids....Jimi Hendrix! Yeah! I know! Shut up, right? Go look it up.
