Hard to believe it’s been 59 years since The Monkees first aired on September 12, 1966. We were just four kids with guitars and energy, and the world watched us. Grateful for the memories and your support in keeping our spirit alive. Here’s to more! #TheMonkees #TVHistory

I just saw the Top 10 Most Streamed Monkees Tracks & I'm proud these songs are still being discovered after nearly 60 years! The usual hits & a couple of my favorites made the list. It’s amazing that new listeners are finding this music! Did your favorite make it? #TheMonkees

Can you believe “Last Train to Clarksville” debuted this month in 1966? I sang lead, and by November it hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It’s amazing how that song launched our career while subtly commenting on the Vietnam War - an effective protest song. #mickydolenz #themonkees

Here’s a little Circus Boy clip that makes me laugh for reasons that probably weren’t obvious at the time. Let’s just say young Micky had a few things to learn about drums. Sometimes life slips in a joke before you’re in on it. #CircusBoy #MickyDolenz #TheMonkees

Still thinking about Bobby Hart. He and Tommy created classics like "(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone," which rocked on stage. Released in November 1966 as a B-side to “I’m a Believer,” it hit #20 on the Billboard Hot 100—the first Monkees B-side to chart. #TheMonkees #MickyDolenz

"Daily Nightly," one of the first pop songs to use a Moog synthesizer, was written by Michael Nesmith for our 1967 album. I programmed UFO sounds with Paul Beaver's help. John Lennon later experimented with those sounds at my house during the '60s. #TheMonkees #MickyDolenz
