This week join Steve as he drags Andrew kicking and screaming into the 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee Special, while Jonathan attempts to deconstruct all the deep thoughts flying around the pianos and gorillas. What exactly were The Monkees trying to say with the special? Why were there no subsequent specials? Why is Little Richard present? Will Andrew walk out of the studio in disgust? These answers and much more on this week’s episode. You can also listen to a previous episode we recorded about The Monkees and representations of 60s youth counterculture here: link
