Just heard the news about Davy. For a latch-key kid like me back in ye olde 1970's...coming home to an empty house and sinking into my yellow bean bag chair for 30 minutes to de-stress and watch The Monkees goof-off was such a sweet escape from the more difficult things I was being forced to deal with. My other tween gal-pals and I knew full-well we were about 10 years late in watching the reruns of their 1960's show, but we loved them just the same. I've always really dug this song from their old Xmas show. Thanks for all the laughs, Davy -- and the squeals & sighs over your Tiger Beat and 16 magazine posters.
[I just read this excerpt of a moving statement by Mike. Really profoundly healing and so right-on: "While it is jarring, and sometimes seems unjust, or strange....this transition we call dying and death is a constant in the mortal experience that we know almost nothing about. I am of the mind that it is a transition and I carry with me a certainty of the continuity of existence. While I don't exactly know what happens in these times, there is an ongoing sense of life that reaches in my mind out far beyond the near horizons of mortality and into the reaches of infinity. That David has stepped beyond my view causes me the sadness that it does many of you. I will miss him, but I won't abandon him to mortality. I will think of him as existing within the animating life that insures existence. I will think of him and his family with that gentle regard in spite of all the contrary appearances on the mortal plane. David's spirit and soul live well in my heart, among all the lovely people, who remember with me the good times, and the healing times, that were created for so many, including us. I have fond memories. I wish him safe travels."]
Rest well, Davy x0x0x
