60 years ago this week, we began filming “Don’t Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth,” which was the first episode we shot for The Monkees series.
I’d love to say I remember every detail clearly, but honestly, in those days we were moving so fast that if you blinked you might miss an episode, a song, a costume change, and possibly a horse. I do know this episode was written by Dave Evans, who also co-wrote "The Frodis Caper" episode with me (which I also directed).
Davy, Mike, Peter, and I were suddenly thrown into this wonderful, mad adventure, guided by the vision of Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider, who somehow looked at the four of us and thought, “Yes, this could work.”
I’m grateful to have been part of it, grateful to the fans who have kept it alive all these years, and grateful to my three brothers in Monkee mayhem.

13 mai 1967, Paul McCartney dine en famille dans sa maison londonienne. Assis au piano, il improvise quelques airs de music-hall pour son père, sa tante et son oncle qui, de par leur génération, apprécient particulièrement la musique des années 20 et 30. Seulement voilà, un songwriter inépuisable comme McCartney n'improvise jamais pour rien.
A la fin de la soirée, il a déjà la mélodie et les paroles principales. Paul McCartney vient de créer une nouvelle merveille en un rien de temps entre le fish & chips et le crumble.
"Your Mother Should Know", The Beatles, 1967.
