The Monkees are to the Beatles what 'Star Trek' is to NASA. They are both totally valid in their contexts.

Many people have fond memories of 'The Monkees.' I fondly remember it, too.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is not a public democratic organization; it's a private club basically. It's like a private golf club and they decide who they're going to let in the club.

And singing is a physical thing - your vocal cords are these muscles.

People come and people go, moving fast and moving slow, I'm in a crowd and yet I'm all alone.

When I do my solo concerts, I'm used to being on the stage for two hours solid, singing 16 songs. And when I did 'Funny Thing,' I was on the stage the whole time. This is much more difficult. It's the difference between racing and sprinting. This is sprinting. And I have to learn to pace myself.

I was an entertainer, ever since I was a kid.
