I found this on Brad's list and I thought that I would post some remarks about it here...I mean what more appropriate topic is there to talk about now...huh? <<<<From: "maggie mcmanus" Announcement: Peter Tork will NOT be appearing at the Monkees' September 7 & 8 shows in Bensenville & Grand Prairie. Here's why: It's 10 pm Sunday night, September 2, and I just got off the phone with Peter Tork. He phoned me, sounding very very very upset. He'd just received a call from David Fishof saying that Micky and Davy did not want him showing up at the two September dates, in Bensenville and Grand Prairie. In fact, they were insistent on it, saying that if Peter showed up for those two gigs,THEY WOULD NOT!!!! "I guess I'd be on stage by myself, playing 'Last Train To Clarksville' in another key and saying, 'Now this is where Micky usually sings 'I'm A Believer'," Peter said. Lots of fans had asked over the last week if Peter would be at the September 7 & 8 shows, and Peter had told me to reassure everyone that he would be, but this is a dramatic new turn of events. Peter wanted everyone who expected to see him at those shows to be warned in advance that he would not be there---AT THE INSISTENCE OF THE OTHER GUYS. The worst most horrible part of all this is that it's obvious that Micky, Davy, and Fishof had it all planned out in advance, Peter said. After the most recent show in Anaheim, Davy shook hands with him and said, "See you around," and Peter said, "Wait a minute, I'm not done, I'll see you guys in Bensenville and Dallas." But THEY knew already. Fishof told him that he hurt Micky and Davy so badly that they don't want him at the other dates. But they sure kept him around long enough to do the taping (at the Anaheim show) for the upcoming live audio/video releases and made sure he signed all the contracts for those releases ahead of time. Asked how the West Coast shows went, Peter said that he'd thought everything was just great, couldn't have been better. In fact, he said "7th Heaven" star Stephen Collins was at Anaheim and was "effusive" in his praise of the guys' concert. Collins' wife, actress Faye Grant, was so thrilled with the show that she asked to have her picture taken with the guys backstage----Stephen told Peter that she's NEVER asked anyone that in the 18 years they'd been together, so from her that was very high praise. Welllllll, for all the people who theorized in the last week that the guys were pulling our leg about an internal conflict.......guess not! This time, the fans---who'd hoped to see Peter one last time---are suffering because of it. maggie Maggie McManus MONKEE BUSINESS FANZINE pages.prodigy.net/monkeebiz monkeebiz@prodigy.net>>>>> ok, now that you have read this here's what I think about it. I really think that the other guys are just being @$$es! I mean they should be old enough now to work out their differences and get along with one another. I can see how being on the road together would get tiresome but come on now, they should be mature about this whole thing. I also think that was a dirty stunt they pulled with getting Peter to sign all the contracts so that they could get their little live tape all videoed up and make cash from HIS appearance on there then kick him off the tour like that. There's something about that which is not quite right. David Fishof has been known to like the cash, but Mr. Fishof, if you are reading this I really think that was a dirty stunt you pulled off, bud! Also you need to realize that money is NOT everything! As for Peter Tork...well I wouldn't expect him to have anymore to do with the guys if they are going to treat him like this. If it wasn't for him being a part of their tour im sure that it wouldn't have went as well as it did. --Webby@DJForever
