Monkees

Tribute EP 'Dolenz Sings R.E.M.' comes out Nov. 3.

Last remaining member of the group is highlighting 1967's 'Headquarters' on current tour.

Ill-fated double-header ended on July 16, 1967, after only seven dates.

He emerged from their pre-fab beginnings to become a musical pioneer in his own right.

When the television show premiered in 1966, no one could have guessed the phenomenon it would become.

Result: A frustrated guitarist, a disappointed band and a bewildered and confused audience.
