For women of a certain age the name Mickey Dolenz has a special meaning. That is, women of, say, 50, 51, may remember their girlish obsession with The Monkees, as well as the individual members of the group (left to right: Peter Tork, Mickey Dolenz, Mike Nesmith, and Davy Jones (wow I’m impressed I just remembered all those names) and their wildly popular—and completely goofy—television show.

Do the words: “Hey, hey we’re the Monkees,” or “Take the last train to Clarksville and I’ll meet you at the station…” mean anything to you.

When I was in first grade I was a HUGE fan of The Monkees so the fact that Mickey Dolenz, who was NOT my favorite monkey (that honor goes to Davy Jones) will be performing at the Seaside Summer Concert Series at Asser Levy/Seaside Park on Thursday, July 22, resonated with me…

On Thursday, July 22, the 32nd annual Seaside Summer Concert Series at Asser Levy/Seaside Park, hosted by Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, will feature the “Happy Together Tour,” including the Beach Boys, the Turtles (featuring Flo & Eddie), Mickey Dolenz (the Monkees) and Mark Lindsay (Paul Revere and the Raiders).
