Keith died years ago, but all those drugs have kept the corpse pretty animated.

I was always a Peter Tork gal. Davey was a cutie, though. Just not my cup of tea, mate.

Here's his screen test for the Monkees. Such a sweet kind of guy. Innocent even. Reminds me a lot of the late Dudley Moore:

Ah, that's so sad! I love the Monkees! I have their greatest hits album [opps, showing my age, I meant MP3!] They're show was so entertaining, funny and a precursor to videos. The weekly sitcom used to have about 2 songs per episode and of course, they were played in a video format long before MTV and VH-1 was even conceptualized.
