For kids of my generation (and we are still kids) this in an especially tough one. If anything, the Monkees represented eternal youth. The goofy spirit of fun and misadventure they projected was infectious. My condolences to his family, friends, and many fans.
We're just trying to be friendly,
So come watch us sing and play,
We’re the young generation,
And we’ve got something to say.
Davy, your music and spirit and playfulness will live on.
