Monkee News Amid Covid-19

The Mike and Micky Show has been recorded and released. Reviews are in and it is an amazing recording mix, capturing the best of the live performances. That's the good news.

Middling news includes the scheduling of upcoming shows.  Originally scheduled for April of 2020, they were rescheduled to later in the year, July/Oct, etc. But we will see.  As of now, the end of April, there is talk of "reopening" the economy after 45ish days of Stay-At-Home orders differing from state to state. But reports from places that have opened up again indicate that infection rates have gone up as more people begin interacting again.  So when will we begin feeling comfortable hanging out in crowds again?

And the bad news, we've just hit and surpassed the number of deaths that we saw from the war in Vietnam.  So many people have been hurt by the sickness and the death toll: friends, families.  And Adam Schlesinger passed away from Covid on April 1st.  This whole thing has been a horrible joke, not limited to April Fool's, and it is not funny.  And it does not seem to be ending any time soon.  That's the worst news of all.
