There wasn't that much of a gap -- the Beatles were on Sullivan in early
1964, while the Monkees debuted on NBC in the fall of 1966, and the band
picked out a ways beforehand. A young-er Davy Jones might be a better way
to put it. And perhaps shorter, though that's hard to conceive...

punky edge -- at times reminds me of The Waking Hours and Heathrow, which is
nice company...)
