Story 126
Davy Jones and the rest of the Monkees - It was July 1967, and I was in the Navy attending school in Bainbridge, Md. On my weekend off, a friend and I decided to go to Baltimore. It was on a Friday night, and the Monkees were in town for a concert. As we walked along we came across a whole bunch of people in front of a hotel. They were trying to get a glimse of the Monkees who, they thought, were staying there. Girls were screaming and crying. People had binoculars trying to see them through their hotel window. Some people were saying, 'There they are, I can see Mike.....there's Davey....there they are!" Well, after spending a few minutes checking out the hotel with the hoard of fans, my friend and I left, on foot, on the way to "the block", the party area of Baltimore. It was almost dark when we cut down a side street. We stepped off the sidewalk to cross the street, and suddenly I heard the screech of tires. I looked up to see a black limo...it had almost hit us. A window opened up, and a guy looked out and said, "Are you OK?" It was Davy Jones!!! I ran up to the car and saw that all four of the Monkees were in the car. I said to Davy, "We're OK..my name is John....mention me on your TV show, OK?" Davy said, "Sure thing, mate!" Then the limo sped off. To this day, I tell people I was almost run down by the Monkees!!
