The Story Behind: The Monkees - Headquarters, Ep 176

The Monkees were brought together for a TV show about a band, then slowly morphed into a real band over the course of a few eventful years in the late 60s. The guys discuss folkies selling out, the Brill building songwriting industry, and carrying eggs just in case you see your least favorite artist on the street.
