Peter Tork was born on this day in 1942, and though he has left us in 2019, he remains in the hearts of countless fans who loved him on The Monkees TV show and for his amazing musical talent. I’ve started a tradition in recent years of posting a link to guest post my friend Desiree Burcum from the Famous In The Future comedy group did on this blog in 2011. It concerns her endearing encounter with Tork at the Chicago Wizard World Comic Con.
My condolences to the family and friends of Dave Roberts on his recent passing. The Chicago area DJ developed a loyal following throughout his many years of spinning punk and new wave music at venues such as Exit, Club 950, Neo, and Late Bar.
