"Hey hey we are the Monkees, you know we aim to please. A manufactured image with no philosophies."
The pop phenonemon of the Monkees had run its course, but they had one last roll of the dice, a film exploding the myth of the group via a number of rambling drug fuelled episodes. The kids didn't understand it and it bombed. But what they produced was a remarkable piece of comedy and music.
Featuring a number of Hollywood's counter culture activists, from Jack Nicholson, to Frank Zappa, this is a remarkable take on a particular moment in pop culture.
