those are 17 words i never thought i'd see strung together in that exact order outside of a comedy skit.

you could argue they deserve to be in the fake band for a tv show hall of fame. i'll give them the nod over the archies and the partridge family.

but they didn't even play instruments on most of the songs you know. they just sang over session musicians.

it's sad he died. they had some great songwriter's and musician's backing them. and they made pleasant hummable music. that's about as far as anyone should go.

if it's any consolation don kirschner, the vomit worthy hack who invented them, is going in this year.
