Fan photos of Peter signing autographs outside Screen Gems in 1968. Photos by Jeri Mastro St. John (facing the camera in photo 2) and Rebecca Reeves Zane.

These photos aren't from the following occasion, but fit the time frame.

“My best friend had a very indulgent Mom who would drive us over to Hollywood on Saturdays sometimes so we could try and meet [The Monkees]. The first Saturday, we went up to the Screen Gems guard gate and asked if they were on site. The guard kindly told us the studios were closed on weekends, BUT Peter was actually there having a Japanese language lesson in prep for their tour. He didn’t let us in, but told us where to go ‘round back. We waited for about 45 minutes before Peter came out. He came down the stairs and talked with us, did an autograph of course. It was special because it was just us and Peter. We, being Monkee Maniacs and 11 yrs old, gushed a bit about how much we loved them and their music. Peter replied, ‘Oh, I’m just a cat on the street who got lucky.’ Obviously, I’ve never forgotten how soft spoken, gentle and nice he was. Such an impression.” - Dale O., Sunset Blvd. Records Facebook comment, December 2023

The Monkees 1x19 “Find The Monkees”

[glocknroll]

Clip from Making The Monkees (2007).

Peter: [”]We were getting on each other’s nerves, and suddenly Davy was shouting and cursing everybody in general and whoever was in line of fire, specifically. I went over to try to calm him down. ‘Get out of here, you twit!’ he screams. I didn’t move, and the next thing I know he hits me in the mouth with his forehead — a nutter, as the English call it. Pretty lethal. So, we started at each other — arms flailing. The crew broke us up. We were held off each other by about three men apiece — still glaring, and struggling to get loose. Finally, we calmed down. ‘Okay, Peter?’ ‘Okay.’ ‘Okay, Davy?’ ‘Okay.’ But we’re good actors, remember? As they loosened their grip, I got free first and slugged him as hard as I could. I was surprised. It felt good.[”]

I had to go to hospital and had seven stitches above my eye. Filming continued in my absence — without four-shots. When I returned three hours later, all smiles and bandages, I simply quipped — ‘Nice shot, Pete,’ and went straight back to work.” - Daydream Believin’ by Davy Jones (2000)

Q: “I have to ask, did you really punch Davy Jones?” Peter Tork: “(quietly) Yeah, I really hit him once.” Q: “You feel badly about this?” PT: “I sure do. My conscience was stricken for years. (perks up) Of course, the little sucker hit me first.” Q: “Really? They don’t portray it like that in the movie [Daydream Believer]. They have you cold-cocking him.” PT: “What? He hit me in the jaw with his forehead. He did this thing called a nutter, which is a soccer hooligan maneuver. You use your forehead.” Q: “In the movie they have Davy all innocent with these sweet little lamb eyes and you just belt him. Then you get all sad because you’re so sweet and into Buddhism.” - St. Petersburg Times, June 23, 2000

Peter: I think if you don’t spend at least four months out of the year battling the cold and ice and snow you lose your humanity and humility. That’s why Californians are the way they are.

Micky: This reeks of jealously.

Peter: Do you see what I mean.
