The Monkees may be the most under-rated rock band ever. Headquarters and Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd. would be recognized as excellent psych-pop albums by music snobs everywhere, if only they were recorded by a largely unknown garage band.
Have you ever actually investigated the validity of astrology, or are you just ignorantly proclaiming that it "isn't real" based on some crummy daily horoscope you read? Whether or not it fits into your narrow worldview, it still exists as a study, as it has for thousands of years, making it is as real as anything else out there.
On another topic, Nesmith's Magnetic South is one of the greatest country rock albums of all time. Happy birthday Mikey!
um, I think you are forgetting that Davey went on to record the (non-hit) single "Girl" that was featured heavily on an episode of The Brady Bunch.
Plus like Mike he also refuses to ever perform with The Monkees again, and if Wikipedia is to be believed.... "Davy Jones is working on a new solo record with Lil Wayne. The Album is set to drop summer of 2011"
"Validity" of astrology? Just because a bunch of people believe something and practice it, doesn't make it any more real than Jesus or the Easter Bunny. If you want it accepted as real, feel free to publish your proofs.
First off, constellations exist in the apparent flatness of the sky but in reality the universe exists in three physical dimensions. Those constellations only, like rainbows, exist from where you are located. One star could be relatively near and another a thousand times further away and in a million years or so will have shifted so that the constellation won't exist any more. What makes a constellation? Just someone's imagination that a set of stars kind of fit with key points of a picture he or she had in mind. Also, what might at first appear to be a star could be a galaxy way far away and not a star at all. The only energy or force emanating celestial bodies come in the form of photons and gravity. However, a bread crumb on your desk would probably exert more gravity on you than a star a couple million light years away. Remember how weak gravity is: it takes a rock the size of the earth to make a pencil fall to the floor. And as for photons, the light coming even from our moon (forget the sun) is vastly greater as it reaches you than the light from even a distant star. Astrology doesn't even pass the giggle test. Except for idiots of course. You know: the sort of people who are losing sleep over 2012.
But they didn't, so it's vilified bullshit.

One thing we have proof of is Davy Jones' moobs.
