How did The Monkees become a group? (The TV Monkees, not the IRL group.) I mean, come on- an LA rock and roller, a British stage actor, a Texan country guitarist, and a Connectictut/Greenwich Village blues artist... How do four guys like that even find each other, much less become a band? And how could they afford that hot rod when they can't even pay their rent? This is my idea of how it all started...
