Fun post! Thanks for all the facts! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI'm just replaying the Monkees - I had teh biggest crush on Davy Jones when I was a teenager - & at that point, he was a grown man... which is weird - LOL - but I loved the Monkees so much
ReplyDeletePatrick,
ReplyDeleteThe most interesting of these is to learn Mark Wahlberg is Marky Mark. I'm not super familiar with the New Kids on the Block so this would be easy to slide right past me but still it was really cool to learn. I like Mark as an actor. He seems to have popped up in the movies over the past decade. It was a bit interesting to learn that Jimi Hendrix toured with The Monkees, too. Great trivia tidbits. Thanks for boogieing with the 4M crew. Have the happiest new year yet, my friend!
You came up with some good trivia questions! Good picks!
ReplyDeleteInteresting factoids! I knew 1, 5 and 6. Jimi paired with The Monkees was an odd coupling. Apparently, he was booed by the teenybopper audience. ☺
ReplyDeleteAwesome trivia and tunes, Patrick! Loved them all! :) Happy New Year!
