I called my dad and told him that I’m going to start playing Words with Friends with the manager of the Monkees which did not impress him. He said “The Monkees haven’t been famous for decades!” and I had to remind him that Patty Duke hasn’t either but he still boasts about a slow dance they shared in the 50s at every family dinner, never mind that we’ve all heard it before.
I said, “Look, at my age, this is the closest I’m going to get to a brush with fame.” I didn’t tell him that I slept with the drummer of Skid Row and a member of the Drive By Truckers, that I was one hot blonde away from bagging Jizzy Pearl.
He said, “The Monkees were actors before they were musicians anyway.”
