    The Monkees' drummer has sued the FBI...

    The Monkees' drummer has sued the FBI... The Monkees' drummer wants the FBI to quit monkeying around and hand over files
    938FDB13-E12E-4FFF-A374-4BD3D4EDE79D.jpeg


    Micky Dolenz, the last-surviving member of the 1960s band The Monkees, is suing the FBI to get any files and reports generated by the bureau over the years, pertaining to him, his deceased bandmates, or the band more generally. In the complaint, Dolenz's attorneys say the musician submitted a Freedom of Information Act Request on June 14. After receiving an automate notice of receipt from the agency, he has received no further responses.

    Under the law, all federal agencies are obligated to respond to a FOIA request within 20 business days. That does not include notifications of receipt. However, the Department of Justice website says there is a massive backlog of requests for the FBI and that "it simply cannot" respond within the specified time period.

    Dolenz alleges thatduring the height of the band's fame, the group interacted with other musicians and artists who were known to be tracked by the FBI, including The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix.

    The Monkees were actually quite close to the Beatles and other big musicians of their day, came to be respected by them and even had some of their musical "bits" copied, especially by Lennon and McCartney. The Beatles were big fans.

    People say they just monkeyed around.

    But, they were too busy singing to put anybody down.

    They were just trying to be friendly, you should've came and watched them sing and play.
