ROCK ON! This Week's Sound Bites...10/10/19


By Danny Coleman

originally published: 10/10/2019

"Oh no, that's like asking if you have a favorite Beatle album," laughed Micky Dolenz when asked if he had a favorite song from The Beatles "White Album." It's impossible, I get asked that all of the time; there's so many great songs off of the album. I know I'll be doing "U.S.S.R" which I love and "Rocky Raccoon" which I used to sing to my children as a lullaby (laughs). There's just so many; gosh where do you start? There's so many great tunes." 

Dolenz, Todd Rundgren, Christopher Cross, Jason Scheff of Chicago and Joey Molland of Badfinger will come together at The Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown, NJ to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Beatles "White Album" with live performances of the songs from the legendary release. 

Upon first glance one might think; how did this cast come together? This is a group of players that come from varying musical tastes, backgrounds and experiences; perhaps best described as an eclectic mix. 

"I think eclectic is alright," said Dolenz with a hearty laugh. "I was asked to do this maybe because it had something to do with my connection to The Beatles and having been around during that period and having been to a lot of Beatles sessions; they (Flower Power Concerts) called my agent last year and asked if I'd be interested in doing something like this. They mentioned that Todd was considering it and a few months later they called, made me an offer and I was available and here we are; it's been quite an interesting few months. This has turned into one hell of an adventure, they're about ready to announce a second leg and I'm thrilled to be doing "The White Album" of course because I was a huge fan of "The White Album" and I'm thrilled to be working with Todd and Christopher and Jason and Joey but you are right, it's a very interesting, eclectic combination of people."

Paying tribute to such an iconic record can be a bit precarious even for the most seasoned of performers. The songs have literally defined an era of rock and pop music; so how will the evening be handled?

"It's "The White Album," it's as simple as that. Ninety-nine percent will be "The White Album" in its entirety and then in addition we will be doing a couple of our own solo kind of tunes; for instance, I'll probably be doing "I'm A Believer" and "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and Todd I'm sure will be doing "Hello." So you'll get a bit of that too, not only "The White Album" but some of our solo material too."

"Oh it will be a total mix and match. I'm not playing drums, I will be playing some guitar and Todd I'm sure will be also but there will be a core rhythm section which is "Rain" the Beatles tribute band; they're the core band I guess we can call them. Jason is playing a lot of bass, Todd some guitar, I don't know about Joey, I'll be playing a little acoustic guitar and we each have like five songs off of "The White Album" and we each have a couple of our own individual things. Well, the whole album split up between myself and the other principles, some of our own solo material; it's a really cool concept." 

Today's instant gratification music world is rife with instant downloads and click of a mouse or app streaming services but during the days of "The White Album" this was not in existence. Can one imagine downloading a song or two from an album such as this? Dolenz sees the validity in that question and has an appreciation for the resurgence in vinyl sales.

"Very good point; great point. One of the reasons that I'm loving the idea that vinyl is coming back is I think the millennials are recognizing the value of having not only the music of course but having the artwork and the visuals and the liner notes and the physicality of an album. I have a couple of nephews ages 16, 17 years old and that's all they do is get vinyl and old vinyl besides the new stuff and they frame them and put them on their walls. I think that kids are maybe getting fed up with just having something that has no physicality to it and that's what I remember so much about buying albums; it was the whole package. You got all of the artwork and liner notes and photographs and it was pretty cool."

During the height of their popularity, The Beatles inspired many young children to play instruments and many bands to try and imitate their style and success. "The Monkees" were often compared to the Fab Four and not always fairly. According to Dolenz, The Beatles collectively were among those who "Got it." 

"I was a fan of course, a huge Beatle fan and I did get to know them all and The Beatles got it, they got what "The Monkees" were about; it was John Lennon who was the first one I heard say, "The Monkees are like the Marx Brothers" and he was absolutely right. "The Monkees" was much more about The Marx Brothers than it was the Beatles and everybody makes that comparison but it's not accurate. "The Monkees" was a television show about this band that wanted to be The Beatles and on the TV show we never made it; I believe that was part of the charm of the show. All of those kids out there around the States and the world; it resonated with them because they were out there in their basements, garages and living rooms practicing and trying to become famous and on "The Monkees" you'll notice that we were never famous on the show. It was that struggle for success that endeared us to that generation and "The Monkees" were not really of that generation; our fans were the younger brothers and sisters of The Beatles. I did meet them all and they were very gracious, they got it, they understood what it was all about. I saw Paul just a couple of years ago, Ringo and I used to hang out a lot and they got it."

The October 13 show starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets range from $49 to $99. To purchase tickets, please visit www.mayoarts.org .
