Reuters) - Davy Jones, former lead singer of the 1960s made-for-television pop band The Monkees, died on Wednesday after suffering a heart attack in Florida, according to his longtime publicist. He was 66.
We all know the "Monkee walk!!"
Come on..sing it with me...
"Here we come, walking down the street...."
Grew up watching these guys on TV with my older siblings, and was young enough to mix them up with the Beatles until I was a bit older and figured it out.
I just watched him on a 60s show during the PBS begathon last week. Brought back memories of my teenybopper years--I had his pictures from those teen magazines on my walls!

Davy had a great sense of humor. He was always joking. We saw him twice at Epcot during the spring Flower Power concerts. He really packed them in every show.
Watching the TV clips reminded me again how cute he was.
I saw the Monkees twice. Once in concert when they were hot. Tickets were something like $7.25 and my father was outraged. Saw them again a number of years ago at an outdoor 60's concert.
My wife loved Davy Jones when she was a kid. We went to see him at EPCOT a few years ago. One of those free shows during the Food and Wine, or Flower and Garden Festivals. I always kidded her about Davy being the "lead singer" because their biggest hits were sung by Micky Dolenz, who played the drums.

It seems that a bunch of Tuggers were at those Flower Power Concerts.
I was born after the Monkey's disbanded, though I heard their songs and saw a few of their shows in repeat, I wasn't around when they were on television.
We also went and saw Davy Jones in May 2008 at Epcot. We lined up early and were able to get second row (we had first but moved back one). His show was great and he connected with the audience well. There were true fanatics there. One woman cried through the entire show and even brought him a gift. When we were leaving the show, she was in line to see the very next show.
I loved the Monkey' too. Mickey was my favorite, but in part because there were four of us in my neighborhood (back when kids played outside) that pretended to be the Monkey's and I was Mickey. I was 10 or 11 then. Fun memories.

"I wanna be free,
Like the warm September wind, babe,
Say you'll always be my friend, babe.
We can make it to the end, babe,
Again, babe, I gotta say:
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free"
What bothers me the most is the fact that he just had a physical and was told he was in good health. I hear this all too often. Men, especially, get a stress test, an EKG, an ultra-sound of the heart, and are told by their cardiologist that they are in good health. Then, they die within weeks of heart disease. Seems the testing is not quite what it should be.

It just goes to prove that they cannot accurately tell you that you're safe from dying.
Anyway, there is no easy way to measure a person's risk of blockage in your arteries. It can be accomplished to a certain degree, but that's very expensive, and you don't get anything near that in a normal physical.
Testing should have revealed that he had an arterial constriction. Possibly cardiovascular stenting would have saved his life. If his arteries were that clogged up, it should have been obvious, and bypass surgery recommended. Unfortunately, he did not live in an area known for its health care facilities...
I complained of tightness in my chest once. My doc put me thru a battery of tests, starting with an EKG, ending with dye in my veins ensconced in some massive mapping device. In the end, they decided it was stress-related and told me to stay home for two weeks.
We're often told that docs order too many tests and perform too many marginal procedures. Expensive, no doubt, but I'm grateful they went the distance with me. I guess it's a question of which side you breard is buttered.

And you know, there have been examples where people have gone through all those tests and hear they're fine, and die the next week. Again, my point is that medical technology is not there yet.
