the following is from a message that Fishof sent me, not sure about the email address it's coming from, but it was verified by DFP earlier this afternoon so I guess it's ok. You can tell he really put a lot of time and thought into this one, which is why it did not come from his personal email account...someone else probably write it up on his behalf....anyway, I would like to see what you all think about this.

Dear Fan,

I appreciate your concern regarding The Monkees and Peter Tork's recent
departure from the band. I’m hoping this letter will clear up some apparent
misconceptions.

The fact remains that Peter Tork made the decision mid-tour to resign from
the band due to personal conflicts (as he reported to MONKEES FANZINE).Â
Simultaneously, Micky Dolenz and I were working on securing a film project
for The Monkees and received an offer for a “Monkee Movie.” Peter declined
to be a part of this project.

I personally approached Peter numerous times during the tour to try to get
him to reconsider leaving the band. I was unsuccessful and felt totally
rejected.

As a long time professional in this business, I feel that Davy Jones and
Micky Dolenz have been put their best efforts forward in performing each
concert on this tour. Their energy and chemistry on stage is truly remarkable.

My opinion is Peter’s decision was driven by his ambition to further pursue
his other projects. He was unconcerned about the effect his departure would
have on Davy, Micky the other band members, the crew - not to mention the
fans.Â

The fact that Davy and Micky elected to terminate Peter a few shows before
the end of their US dates was because they need establish anew show with a
new format and layout.

Please remember, Peter chose to leave. Davy and Micky are still dedicated to
their fans and look forward to bringing all of you the best show they’ve ever
done.

Warm regards,

David Fishof
