I'm a Believer: My Life of Monkees, Music, and Madness - Paperback

by Micky Dolenz (Author), Mark Bego (Author)

In fascinating, star-studded anecdotes, original Monkee Micky Dolenz takes readers from his starring role at age 12 as TV's "Circus Boy," to the open casting call that brought the Monkees together, through the creative conflicts that finally drove them apart. Along the way you'll find hilarious anecdotes about his adventures as a Monkee―the girls, the parties, the celebrities―as well as the harder-edged realities of a life lived in front of a camera. The Monkees 60th anniversary edition contains a new introduction, two new chapters, updated discography and filmography, and ten new photos. More importantly, Micky Dolenz offers his thoughts on Monkees mania in its 60th year, as well as pays tribute to his departed band-mates Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith, and Peter Tork.
