Watch the Monkees movie 'Head' written by the Monkees and Jack Nicholson. It's on YouTube. Very enlightening. They admit that they're fake, but here's the joke: everything else is, too! Everything! The Monkees were a super fake band created so that you wouldn't catch on to the fact the other bands were fake, too, and we're all being controlled. They torpedoed their own careers with that movie to let people know that.
