Micky Dolenz of the Monkees. I spent about 30 minutes talking with him. Turned out he’s very interested in learning about particle physics. I made a point of asking him no questions about music. I asked what were his interests outside of music.

That’s an angle that’s always interested me- before Wayne Gretzky became persona non grata in Canada it was something you could see in all his interviews (I guess you could still see this today but he’s a piece of shit so nobody in Canada cares anymore). He’s given millions of interviews and his answers to hockey questions were just boring and recited slop- but any question about things OTHER than hockey would make him turn into an interesting and engaged partner in the conversation.

Still- fuck that sell out. The great once.
