Stuff I Stumbled Upon

Singer Davy Jones of The Monkees has died of a heart attack at 66, the medical examiner’s office in Martin County, Fla., has confirmed to NBC News.

Jones was most famous for his role in the pop group The Monkees, which was put together in 1965 for the TV show of the same name. Their hits included "Daydream Believer," "Last Train to Clarksville," "I’m a Believer," and "Pleasant Valley Sunday." They also charted with the theme song from the show.  The Monkees sold more than 50 million records.  In 2008, Yahoo Music named Jones the top teen idol of all time.  After "The Monkees" disbanded in 1971, Jones sang solo as well as with various reincarnations of the group.  He also acted on stage and screen, with his most famous TV appearance as himself on "The Brady Bunch," in an episode where Marcia Brady was the president of his fan club and tried to get the singer to appear at her school dance. He also played Fagin in "Oliver!" on Broadway.  Recently, he played himself on an episode of "Sponge Bob Square Pants."  He released his final album in 2009.  Last summer, Al Roker of TODAY interviewed Jones and fellow bandmates Peter Tork and Micky Dolenz as the band, minus Michael Nesmith, prepared to tour. That tour was later canceled due to internal conflict.

Well thankfully he wasn’t killed by a “Beatle”—like his career was.

God I love their facebook page.

For someone whose first song was about “Everywhere” she’s apparently been doing anything but that, this past decade.

Apparently some rednecks still have outhouses

Would it be racist to assume her name is “Ling-Ling”?

He deserves a stake through the heart, just for that horrible spelling alone.

Vodka Chess—the only game where your goal is to lose.

Anyone notice the sign behind them?  Yeah it’s a statue—but a cool pic none the less.

I really love this meme—please never let it end.

I bet those graphics are killer—as in you want to kill the person who bought for you.

His joke book is prolly more Ha Ha crazy, then Ha Ha funny.

That cherry tree must’ve been really small.
