I'm a Believer: My Life of Monkees, Music, and Madness

by Micky Dolenz, Mark Bego

Overview

In fascinating, star-studded anecdotes, original Monkee Micky Dolenz takes readers from his starring role at age 12 as TV's "Circus Boy," to the open casting call that brought the Monkees together, through the creative conflicts that finally drove them apart. Along the way you'll find hilarious anecdotes about his adventures as a Monkee—the girls, the parties, the celebrities—as well as the harder-edged realities of a life lived in front of a camera.

Editorial Reviews

But for readers of I'm a Believer: My Life of Monkees, Music and Madness, Dolenz's updated autobiography, there are plenty of eye-openers. Dolenz and his fellow Monkees—Davy Jones, Mike Newsmith and Peter Tork—were no angels, and there is enough backstage drama to keep some edginess in this breezy road.
