Trivia question of the week
Courtesy of quizmaster Kent Genzlinger:
After the wildly successful premiere of their TV show in 1966, the Monkees went on tour in the summer of 1967. The tour was a huge success, except for their opening act who, having to play to crowds uninterested in the “different” music offered, eventually quit the tour, but soon moved on to greater fame. Who was that opening act for the Monkees on their 1967 tour?
Jimi Hendrix. When he played “Foxy Lady” the countless young women in the crowd would voice their true desire and impatience by singing “Foxy Davy.”
