Oldiesmann: Interesting to see they're bring Wilbur Wilkin back from the dead again. I remember them making a big deal of it when they suddenly decided he was Jughead's cousin years ago - only for him to vanish again, much like Jellybean

Oldiesmann: I miss the days of floppies with there or four new stories each. I'll take that over digests any day

Tuxedo Mark: How absolutely pathetic. Five items, three of which are entirely reprints. Only two new 5-page stories for the entire month. Only two of the four "main" digests. And the story in the girls' digest features Bingo and Pureheart.

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

Some great stuff but I have to say I don't consider The Monkees bubblegum.  In my opinion, they are one of the greatest bands ever, and I love the fact they were put together kind of as a bubblegum group but then asserted control and made their own kind of records.

I don't consider the term "bubblegum" derogative or any kind of judgment on the quality of the music. These are all "prefabricated" or fictional bands, dreamed up by record executives or television producers in an attempt to market to a demographic of young viewers/record consumers. Because these producers were well-connected they were able to recruit some extremely talented studio musicians or discover new talent.

The Monkees are great!

I agree with that.  I guess I just think of bubblegum as bands that were studio musicians that didn't really play live or have personnel that everyone would recognize.   The Monkees just seemed out of place in this list.  But the way you explain it, it makes sense.
