Davy Jones Recalls Beatles Friendship
In the past, you said, “Never, ever, ever again” to a reunion. It’s almost like athletes who say they’re going to retire but can’t keep away. I said I wouldn’t go out without Mike Nesmith. And then I looked at a picture of Mike Nesmith, and he looks like a German banker. And I thought, …

Davy Jones Interview; Playhouse – Sunset Limited
