Zitat des Tages von Micky Dolenz:
When my 'Scientific American' arrives every month, I read it cover to cover.
The thing is, I'm not a prolific songwriter.
I had piano lessons at five and started guitar at ten, but although music and acting was always around me, my parents never pressured me into it.
And singing is a physical thing - your vocal cords are these muscles.
They were looking for actors - real actors - who could play instruments. There was a lot of improvisation and scene work involved in addition to the music. The auditions went on for a long time.
My influences were Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry.
What happened was, my parents after 'Circus Boy' decided to take me out of show business for two years to go back to normal school. It was the smartest thing they ever did.
Ever since I was a kid, I've had an enormous interest in the sciences - everything from quantum physics to anthropology.
Writing is a great love of mine.
I've never been one to chase awards or anything like that, to be honest.
After high school I was going to be an architect. In fact, I was studying to be an architect when the audition for 'The Monkees' came along.
