(at their home living room all 4 Monkees, Carole and Mary)
Mike: Now I know we've had both personal and professional troubles but this meeting is only to address our collective professional troubles.
Peter: Davy doesn't have any troubles
Mike: Shut up Peter
Carole: Don't tell him to shut up.
Mary: Don't talk to my legal husband like that.
Carole: That's it you little (Micky restrains her)
Micky: Everybody calm down.
Davy: Thanks Micky
Mike: Anyway there's some good news I just found out there's a local songwriting competition it only allows one submission per songwriter but with each of us contributing a song we have a good chance at the $25,000 publishing contract.
Micky: But it only has one winner how do we know each of us won't take the money and run if they might be the winner?
Mike: Truth is I kept this competition a secret so I could win but I don't think I have a good chance not as good than if we all contributed.
Davy: So why should we trust you?
Mike: Because I need you to, I can't try to leave you guys; I would have done it for Mary seven years ago, but without you the music of my life would stop. People, I am convinced, need only two things music and friendship. These two things keep us, as people, going when everything else is wrong.
Micky: So what was your song, Mike?
Mike: The music sheets are by your instruments so if you're ready (they go to their instruments) (Song: Listen To The Band)
Hey, hey, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens,
I need help I'm falling again.
Play the drum a little louder,
Tell me I can live without her
If I only listen to the band.
Listen to the band!
Weren't they good, they made me happy.
I think I can make it alone.
Oh, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens,
I need help I'm falling again.
Play the drum a little bit louder,
Tell them they can live without her
If they only listen to the band.
Listen to the band!
Now weren't they good, they made me happy.
I think I can make it alone.
Oh, woman plays a song and no one listens,
I need help I'm falling again.
C'mon, play the drums just a little bit louder,
Tell us we can live without her
Now that we have listened to the band.
Listen to the band!
Mike: Okay so should we rehearse for our next gig or work on the songwriting contest? (Davy's cell phone rings he answers)
Davy: Hello I'll be right over (hangs up)
Mike: What about practice?
Davy: Why not go with the songwriting we don't even have a gig yet. (leaves)
Peter: What's your hurry?
Davy: You wouldn't understand.
Peter: I wish Davy would quit the group.
Mike: What? Between my leadership and Davy's looks we are carrying the band.
Peter: Well then you don't need me (leaves)
Micky: Or me or our songwriting (leaves with Carole)
Mary: All these years I tried to get you to forget about this band and you destroy it anyway by your own ambition (leaves room)

Poetry Post 55 (I couldn't take retirement any longer)
Reflection
I saw a lonely man staring at me from the mirror
A man afraid, punished and trapped by fear
Too afraid to let himself come so near
Afraid of whatever he does he does will not endure
Afraid whatever he does is an eventual failure
Afraid of breaking the bonds that make him feel secure
He does nothing has nothing he would bother to say
The bonds words build will also soon decay
He sees no point in building what will just rot away
Wooden Home
Sitting lonely on this river creek
The future of the world growing bleak
Gold and silver is all the world seek
Rather than to live humble and meek
I must hide in my wooden home here
Every man must now live in this fear
But nature will leave me happy and clear
Foxy Lady
You are my passion, you are my intoxication
Your presence takes me on a mental vacation
Your words send me to tranquil meditation
Your fine body and good vibration
Turns on the sensation
With the peace of love and thrill of infatuation
That puts me into motivation
Your heart and spirit are my supreme destination
I saw a lonely man staring at me from the mirror
A man afraid, punished and trapped by fear
Too afraid to let himself come so near
Afraid of whatever he does he does will not endure
Afraid whatever he does is an eventual failure
Afraid of breaking the bonds that make him feel secure
He does nothing has nothing he would bother to say
The bonds words build will also soon decay
He sees no point in building what will just rot away
Wooden Home
Sitting lonely on this river creek
The future of the world growing bleak
Gold and silver is all the world seek
Rather than to live humble and meek
I must hide in my wooden home here
Every man must now live in this fear
But nature will leave me happy and clear
Foxy Lady
You are my passion, you are my intoxication
Your presence takes me on a mental vacation
Your words send me to tranquil meditation
Your fine body and good vibration
Turns on the sensation
With the peace of love and thrill of infatuation
That puts me into motivation
Your heart and spirit are my supreme destination
Legends of Entertainment Who Didn't Pass 40
Feeling sick today so I won't work on retyping my original works today either. Feel virtually bed ridden but needed to do something, something fun that doesn't have to be meticulous so despite the morbid nature of being fascinated with people who died young I would like to honor some who too young to be recognized as legends in their time and I primarily focus on those who didn't get a lot of media notice when they died
Mitch Hedberg- hilarious comedian with three comedy cds so far one being post humorous Strategic Grill Locations, Mitch All Together, Do You Believe In Gosh? focused mainly on word plays and abstract thought like Steven Wright, made a small appearance in Almost Famous and the tv show That 70's Show one episode
Chris Farley- very physical comedian from Saturday Night Live 1990-1995 famous for Chippendale's Dancer, Matt Foley Motivational Speaker, Bennett Brauer news anchor, starred in Tommy Boy, Black Sheep, Beverly Hills Ninja, Almost Heroes featured in Wayne's World, Wayne's World 2, Coneheads, Airheads, Billy Madison and Dirty Work
Bon Scott- original lead singer of AC/DC until his death in 1980, made six albums Jailbreak, High Voltage, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Let There Be Rock, Powerage, Highway To Hell (the last one before AC/DC hit it big with Back In Black the main song a tribute to him)
Bobby Darin- crooner pop singer turned actor famous songs Splish Splash, Dream Lover, Mack The Knife, Beyond The Sea (also the name of a film about him)
Keith Moon- drummer for the Who until 1978 his death, best natural musician in the group and one of the greatest drummers to achieve any fame I recommend for listening to drumming parts the Who songs I Can See For Miles, Happy Jack
John Bonham- drummer for Led Zeppelin until 1980 and strong contender for best drummer against Keith Moon, Neil Pert (from Rush), Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix Experience) and Ginger Baker (from Cream) songs to note The Immigrant Song, Rock And Roll
Andy Kaufman- comedian who played Latka from Taxi and made tv specials with his alternate personas with Tony Clifton and Foreign Man with funny bits of Foreign Man doing mock lame impressions of American icons leading to shocking Elvis impression
John Belushi- very cliche but great comic and blues singer from Saturday Night Live 1975-1979 starred in National Lampoon's Animal House, The Blues Brothers, Continental Divide, Neighbors featured in Goin' South, Old Boyfriends, 1941
Bob Marley- revolutionary singer who has been sadly reduced to cliche pot fan base and his songs are heard primarily on flight ads to gated Jamaican resorts with exploited labor for foreign invested interest and the misuse of songs like "One Love" and "Stir It Up" as mood setting music. I love him but I can't even listen to his music anymore and I hope John Lennon's music is never whored out like that
Sam Kinison- raunchy racy comic who appeared in Back To School with Rodney Dangerfield and an episode of Married With Children many jokes focused on pitfalls of sexual relationships and the comic song "Wild Thing" albums include Have You Seen Me Lately?, Leader Of The Banned, Live In Hell I mention him because he was actually a swell person despite the bitter language of his humor and mastered the art of comic fury
George Gershwin- classical composer of jazz works including An American In Paris, Rhapsody In Blue and the all black opera Porgy & Bess wrote many pop standards with his lyricist brother Ira
Jimi Hendrix- the master guitarist rivaled only to Eric Clapton with four legendary albums released before his death Are You Experienced?, Axis: Bold As Love, Electric Ladyland, Band Of Gypsys (live) very under appreciated lyricist and serious blues musician who could do powerful soulful melodies, his lyrics and music reflected his manic depression aka bipolar disorder
Kurt Cobain- obtuse lyricist and guitarist for 90's grunge band Nirvana, known for his depression but whose lyrics had dark sarcastic humor particularly about teen relationships and social role playing albums include Bleach, Nevermind, Incesticide, In Utero and made a very moving unplugged performance on MTV recorded live
Otis Redding- died in a plane crash wrote and sang the song Respect (covered by Aretha Franklin) and wrote and performed Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay many other songs are less noted but are worth getting but Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay was his last recording and his first biracial hit
2Pac- extremely famous rapper who made five albums before his death including Me Against The World, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., All Eyez On Me, The 7 Day Theory, 2pacalypse Now but personally liked for his poetry published outside his music including his own pre-requiem "In The Event Of My Demise"
Notorious BIG- rapper with two albums in his lifetime Ready To Die, Life After Death featuring some of the first rap I ever heard including "Mo Money Mo Problems" "Big Poppa" "Hypnotize" "Juicy"
Buddy Holly- the only 50's rocker who could stand toe to toe with Chuck Berry with legendary songs "Peggy Sue" "That'll Be The Day" "Everyday" "Words Of Love" etc
Judith Barsi- using a database to make sure I didn't overlook any entertainer under 40 I came across a voice over actress who did some voice work on Don Bluth films "All Dogs Go To Heaven" and "The Land Before Time" she died very tragically at the age of 10 shot by her father, both films were treasured by me as a kid and it sickens me to think someone involved with something so dear to my childhood had to die so senselessly

Poetry Post 54 (Parental Advisory: Explicit Content May Casue Unplanned Pregnancy and Headaches Wait That's Alcohol)
Platonic Lust
Joy reflects from the love I see in your face
Offering comfort that follows you every place
Always seems to come from sincerely being concerned
Never causing doubt that your affection is earned
Never have I felt the burden of pain in your presence
Acceptance is innately of your essence
Could you give such love never expecting to receive such love
Others cannot help but be drawn to what you're a part of
For you have all the compassion of a mother, a lover, a nurse and a friend
Forever giving care, a cure, soothing pains with a means to amend
Even when I'm alone thoughts of you keep me company
You, for all you've been, will always be a part of me
The Honeymoon
Feel my fingers stroking you from the neck to the shoulder blade as I taste your earlobe
Caressing fingers like a soft warm wind float across your body to disrobe
Erotically unwrapping the gift of your flesh and bone
Periodically massaging every erogenous zone
Refreshing your nerves easing tension in your muscles until you start to spasm
Embrace the physical communion and lead me to your orgasm
Then great comfort shall follow great ecstasy
As I feel you in my arms next to me
Honeymoon Union Graphic Explicit
I want to fulfill your every wet dream
Liberating your senses and releasing your cream
To see the blood rush through your extremities as I hear you scream
Rushing your neurons over your body like a rapid river stream
And your muscles contract in our grasp at a climax supreme
Joy reflects from the love I see in your face
Offering comfort that follows you every place
Always seems to come from sincerely being concerned
Never causing doubt that your affection is earned
Never have I felt the burden of pain in your presence
Acceptance is innately of your essence
Could you give such love never expecting to receive such love
Others cannot help but be drawn to what you're a part of
For you have all the compassion of a mother, a lover, a nurse and a friend
Forever giving care, a cure, soothing pains with a means to amend
Even when I'm alone thoughts of you keep me company
You, for all you've been, will always be a part of me
The Honeymoon
Feel my fingers stroking you from the neck to the shoulder blade as I taste your earlobe
Caressing fingers like a soft warm wind float across your body to disrobe
Erotically unwrapping the gift of your flesh and bone
Periodically massaging every erogenous zone
Refreshing your nerves easing tension in your muscles until you start to spasm
Embrace the physical communion and lead me to your orgasm
Then great comfort shall follow great ecstasy
As I feel you in my arms next to me
Honeymoon Union Graphic Explicit
I want to fulfill your every wet dream

Poetry Post 53 (I can only count to 54!!!!)
The Law
Laws need be written well defined
If not executed they will be defied
But when laws fail legislation is refined
Hoping better jurisdiction will reside
Charity Case
I'm not looking for alms
Just something that calms
All I do is lay in my misery
While others like you set people free
Foreplay
I want to make love to you just to be a part of you
To bond with you as only two lovers can do
To have our hearts beating next to each other
Keeping in rhythm of one another
Each moving in smooth coordination
Filling every nerve and muscle with sensation
I want our total bodies to embrace
To have for our bodies to feel every trace
To have our fingertips and lips to be everyplace
Gracing and caressing from our toes to our face
Reaching the penultimate even before penetration
Then with bodies lock we peek our sensation
Laws need be written well defined
If not executed they will be defied
But when laws fail legislation is refined
Hoping better jurisdiction will reside
Charity Case
I'm not looking for alms
Just something that calms
All I do is lay in my misery
While others like you set people free
Foreplay
I want to make love to you just to be a part of you
To bond with you as only two lovers can do
To have our hearts beating next to each other
Keeping in rhythm of one another
Each moving in smooth coordination
Filling every nerve and muscle with sensation
I want our total bodies to embrace
To have for our bodies to feel every trace
To have our fingertips and lips to be everyplace
Gracing and caressing from our toes to our face
Reaching the penultimate even before penetration
Then with bodies lock we peek our sensation
Poetry Post Masters 52
I Want
I want love I want peace
I want death to cease
I want the world to laugh
I want food well staffed
I want to make the world think and feel again
I want mercy to finally win
I want all pain to numb
I want Jehovah's Kingdom
If I Were Perfect
If I were perfect I'd live forever so I'd never die alone
I would throw away these mechanisms so I could make it on my own
If I were perfect I'd fear not where I trod
For if I were perfect I'd be next to God
Charity
I wish I could feed the poor
Until they could need no more
If I could liberate the oppressed
I would become forever self blessed
I want love I want peace
I want death to cease
I want the world to laugh
I want food well staffed
I want to make the world think and feel again
I want mercy to finally win
I want all pain to numb
I want Jehovah's Kingdom
If I Were Perfect
If I were perfect I'd live forever so I'd never die alone
I would throw away these mechanisms so I could make it on my own
If I were perfect I'd fear not where I trod
For if I were perfect I'd be next to God
Charity
I wish I could feed the poor
Until they could need no more
If I could liberate the oppressed
I would become forever self blessed
