Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Sad news tonight of the death of Peter Tork at the age of 77. I grew up loving the Monkees and avidly watching their telly show. I was later dismayed to find out that their members, including Peter, were frustrated by the artificial nature of the group and the lack of opportunity to play their own songs, as the producers brought in the products of the best songwriters in the country. Still - they did have some cracking good tunes, including this one - my favorite. Stick on your favorite and pour one out for Peter tonight, eh?
