Y'all are a bit harsh, don't ya think?
Remember, the Monkees were a hit in the 60's. In the 80's, they had their 20 year "anniversary." Their show debuted in 1966. Both Davey Jones and Mickey Dolenz (pictured above) turned 21 that year. It's now 2002. This would be the 36th anniversary of the show's debut. Dolenz and Jones turn 57 this year.
Bono turns 42 this year. Let's see how good Bono looks in 15 years. Then, we can compare.
I only say this because back in the 80's, when The Monkees really did have a mini-comeback with their 20-year anniversary (had a hit record, were on TV, books, etc.), they all looked pretty good - but they were in their early 40's, just like Bono is now. Let's see how great U2 all looks as they approach their 60's!!
So don't be too harsh on the Monkees. They were all pretty good looking men once - but time takes a toll on us all.
