Peter Tork no longer with us (he actually died 8 days after his 77th birthday) -- great songwriter

It was a little striking how different his personality was from his Monkees persona -- much more serioius than the "court jester" of the group

Heard a live cover of "Cecilia" last week. The national touring show of that Simon and Garfunkel Broadway bio-musocal revue came through New Orleans, and Mary Ellen wanted to catch it. Of course, they had found two guys who sound very much like S&G voicewise to perform the songs.

Idk if you ever seen the movie ' Almost Famous '. But what you said made me think of the scene where the mother is holding S&G's album pointing out their eyes saying ' their on drugs.

It's kind of a shame Blondie didn't stay together & experiment more. Take maybe Debbie & Clem & add them to the rest of TheCars ...I dunno... Always recognized the greatness of Blondie whilst also being a bit ambivalent about them honestly ...or take them for granted maybe without being wildly in love...
