Description
The Monkees' story is one of both incredible success and brutal ostracism. Between 1966 and 1967, they sold more records than the Beatles and the Rolling Stones combined, and their TV series raised the bar for rock concerts. However, their exposure of the American record industry's modus operandi led to public perception that they were a prefabricated group, and after the band broke up, its members were shunned. Peter Tork, one of the band's members, was particularly affected, despite being a scholar, a classical musician, and an excellent actor and songwriter. This book seeks to do justice to the Monkees' legacy in pop culture, revealing the ups and downs of the band's backstory and tracing Peter's dramatic trajectory through life. A true rock and roll survivor, Peter Tork's story is one of both artistic brilliance and personal struggle. Sergio Farias' book fills an existing gap in the history of the Monkees, offering a fresh and nuanced look at this fascinating band.
