Davey Jones, dead at 66 of a heart attack.
RIP & Godspeed, sir. I loved your music.
All the bright lights fade. Pop music once had it's moments of innocence and faith. It had unbridled energy in all directions. That's the way it is with movements, with "revolutions." Now it's calculated commodity. Pop had wondrous "theological" tenets, too, like: " Music can make you fall in love and love can last forever." or "Music can bring about world peace, stop the killing, expose greed and end war." Mr. Jones was singing that song right up to the end. "Sign me up!", I said when i first heard this sort of stuff as a kid. And let's face it: We all wanna be believers.
So whether it was Mr. Lennon singing "All You Need is Love," or the TV friendly Mr. Jones & the Monkees skiing in their wake, such truths should & will always be sung, always strain to be heard, and always be embraced by those who can say: "Hey, I'm a believer."
