MICKEY DOLENZ AT FABFEST DAYTIME

It’s a little weird that the last living Monkee, Mickey Dolenz, is part of Charlotte’s two-day long Beatles celebration FabFest, because back in the heyday of The Monkees’ 1966-68 sitcom, detractors of vocalist and drummer Dolenz and his bandmates slammed the inauthenticity of the group by dubbing them the Prefab Four. No matter, boomers will vouch for The Monkees’ classic ’60s singles and tell you their trippy 1968 movie Head is worth seeing.
